Pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) is a method where the amplitude of pulses is varied proportionally to the message signal and is easily affected by noise. PAM uses flat-top sampling of signals in the time domain and ideal sampling can eliminate noise, though ideal signals are difficult to generate. For detection of PAM samples, the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter must be within the range of the message frequency and sampling frequency minus the message frequency.

Signal fo for the LPF must within the range of fm < fo < fs - fm fs = 2fm but usually fs > 2fm because to have GUARDBAND fm = fs / 2 = 1 / 2T ms(t) = VPAM
