Epfeoo3Lab - Digital Communications Engr. Gilbert Detera Laboratory Instructor

This document summarizes a student's laboratory activity on pulse position modulation (PPM). The objectives were to understand PPM and convert pulse width modulation (PWM) to PPM. The student used equipment like an Emona TIMS301, oscilloscope, and signal generators. Procedures involved setting up the circuit model for PPM and observing waveform changes by varying inputs and components. Key findings were that PPM encodes information by varying pulse positions, while PWM varies pulse widths. The student concluded that a twin pulse generator can convert between PWM and PPM formats.

ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION


In this activity, we are able to convert the PWM, which was performed in last activity, to PPM.
There are 2 Twin Pulse Generator present. While we are performing for this activity, I notice that in
the first Twin Pulse Generator, The output was a PWM which is really familiar since it was
performed in the last laboratory activity. In the second Twin pulse was the PPM. The two outputs
differ in the value of each instantaneous sample of a modulating wave. In PWM, I noticed that the
amplitude of the different pulses is exactly the same while In PPM, I noticed that the amplitude and
the width of different pulses are exactly the same. I also noticed the sampling time of the two
outputs. The PWM pulses are always centered at the sampling instants and separated by sampling
period while the PPM pulses are not centered at sampling instants. Adder Gain also varies directly
with PPM but not with PWM as you can see in this laboratory activity. In conclusion, twin pulse
generator used as a converter in generating PPM.
