ANSWER: Both a and b
Explanation:
In Pulse Position Modulation, the position of the pulse of the carrier is varied with reference to the position of a reference pulse. The position is varied in accordance with the sampled modulating signal. In PPM, synchronization is required between the transmitter and the receiver. Large bandwidth is required in Pulse position Modulation as compared to the Pulse amplitude modulation.

ANSWER: To remove noise
Explanation:
In pulse width modulation, the width of the carrier varies with the amplitude of the modulating signal at the time of sampling. In PWM signal reception, the received PWM signal is applied to the Schmitt trigger circuit. The Schmitt trigger circuit is used to remove noise in the PWM waveform. This output is the supplied further for detection of the original information.

a. Synchronization is not required between transmitter and receiver
b. Amplitude of the carrier pulse is varied
c. Instantaneous power at the transmitter is constant
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Synchronization is not required between transmitter and receiver
Explanation:
In pulse width modulation, the width of the carrier varies with the amplitude of the modulating signal at the time of sampling. Pulse width modulation is a type of Pulse Time Modulation. As there is no variation in the amplitude of the carrier, the noise may be easily removed at the receiver. It does not require synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver.

4) In different types of Pulse Width Modulation,
- Published on 16 Oct 15
a. Leading edge of the pulse is kept constant
b. Tail edge of the pulse is kept constant
c. Centre of the pulse is kept constant
d. All of the above

Answer
Explanation

|
ANSWER: All of the above
Explanation:
There are types of Pulse Width Modulation. In one of the variations, leading edge of the pulse is kept constant and pulse width is measured with respect to leading edge. In second type, tail edge of the pulse is kept constant and pulse width is measured with respect to it. And the third type has a constant centre of the pulse and the pulse width changes on both the sides of the centre of the pulse.

5) In Pulse time modulation (PTM),
- Published on 16 Oct 15
a. Amplitude of the carrier is constant
b. Position or width of the carrier varies with modulating signal
c. Pulse width modulation and pulse position modulation are the types of PTM
d. All of the above

Answer
Explanation

|
ANSWER: All of the above
Explanation:
In Pulse time modulation (PTM), amplitude of the carrier is kept constant and the Position or width of the carrier varies with the amplitude of the modulating signal at the time of sampling. Pulse width modulation and pulse position modulation are the types of Pulse Time Modulation.
As there is no variation in the amplitude of the carrier, the noise may be easily removed at the receiver.

6) Drawback of using PAM method is
- Published on 16 Oct 15
a. Bandwidth is very large as compared to modulating signal
b. Varying amplitude of carrier varies the peak power required for transmission
c. Due to varying amplitude of carrier, it is difficult to remove noise at receiver
d. All of the above
|
Answer
Explanation
Related Ques
|
ANSWER: All of the above
Explanation:
In PAM, Bandwidth is very large as compared to modulating signal frequency. In PAM, the amplitude of the rectangular pulse train is varied according to the instantaneous value of the modulating signal. Due to this, the required power for transmission is also varied. Due to varying amplitude of carrier, the interference of noise is very high in PAM. So it is difficult to remove noise at receiver.

ANSWER: Both a and b
Explanation:
In pulse modulation systems, the carrier is a train of pulses rather than a continuous signal. The parameters of the pulses are varied according to the instantaneous value of the modulating signal. The carrier is a train of pulses rather than a continuous signal. In PTM, the timing of the pulses of the carrier is varied in accordance with modulating signal. PTM includes:
- Pulse width modulation
- Pulse position modulation

ANSWER: Amplitude of the pulse train is varied
Explanation:
Pulse amplitude modulation is a type of analog pulse modulation system. In pulse modulation systems, the carrier is a train of pulses rather than a continuous signal. In PAM, the amplitude of the rectangular pulse train is varied according to the instantaneous value of the modulating signal. The pulses in PAM signal may be flat top type or natural type samples.

ANSWER: Natural sampling
Explanation:
The natural sampling is the technique that has the minimum noise interference to the sampled signal. It is obtained by multiplying the input signal with the sampling function. It is a practical method used for sampling of signals. Chopping principle is used to sample the signal in natural sampling and it satisfies the Nyquist criteria for sampling of signals.
