Difference Between PAM, PWM and PPM:
The Difference between PAM, PWM and PPM is given below:
PAM |
PWM or PDM |
PPM |
Amplitude of the pulse is proportional to the amplitude of modulating signal. | Width of the pulse is proportional to amplitude of modulating signal. | The relative position of the pulse is proportional to the amplitude of modulating signal. |
The BW of the transmission channel depends on the width of the pulse. | The BW of the transmission channel depends on the rise time of the pulse. | The BW of the transmission channel depends on the rising time of the pulse. |
The instantaneous power of the transmitter varies. | The instantaneous power of the transmitter varies. | The instantaneous power of the transmitter remains constant. |
Noise interference is high. | Noise interference is minimum. | Noise interference is minimum. |
System is complex and similar to amplitude modulation. | System is simple and similar to frequency modulation. | System is simple and similar to phase modulation. |
