➢ High frequency periodic pulse is used as ➢ High frequency sinewave is used as carrier
carrier
➢ Multiplexing is possible ➢ Multiplexing not possible
➢ Pulse modulation has both analog as well as ➢ It has only analog modulation
digital in nature
➢ Examples are PAM, PWM, PPM, PCM, ➢ Examples are AM, FM, PM
DM, ADM.
➢ Applications used in Satellite and Digital ➢ Applications used in radio and TV
Communication system broadcasting system

1. Flat-top PAM
➢ The amplitude of each pulse is directly proportional to modulating signal
amplitude at the time of pulse occurrence. The amplitude of the signal cannot be
changed with respect to the analog signal to be sampled. The tops of the amplitude
remain flat.

2. Natural PAM
➢The amplitude of each pulse is directly proportional to modulating signal
amplitude at the time of pulse occurrence. Then follows the amplitude of the pulse
for the rest of the half-cycle.

Reconstruction Filter
After the digital-to-analog conversion is done by the regenerative circuit and the
decoder, a low-pass filter is employed, called as the reconstruction filter to get back
the original signal.
Hence, the Pulse Code Modulator circuit digitizes the given analog signal, codes it
and samples it, and then transmits it in an analog form. This whole process is
repeated in a reverse pattern to obtain the original signal.
