1. Experiment 04 Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM)
Objective:
Understand pulse amplitude modulation by viewing the output of a sine wave at regular
intervals.
Examine how the frequency of the pulses affects the output waveform
Theory:
Pulse Amplitude Modulation
Pulse amplitude modulation is a technique in which the amplitude of each pulse is controlled by
the instantaneous amplitude of the modulation signal. It is a modulation system in which the signal
is sampled at regular intervals and each sample is made proportional to the amplitude of the signal
at the instant of sampling. This technique transmits the data by encoding in the amplitude of a
series of signal pulses.
Pulse Amplitude Modulation Signal
Types of PAM signal:
There are two types of sampling techniques for transmitting a signal using PAM. They are:
1. Flat Top PAM
2. Natural PAM
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.
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.
2. Explaination:
In Pulse modulation, the unmodulated carrier signal is a periodic train of signals. So the pulse train
can be described like the following.
Pulse Train
Where ‘A’ is the unmodulated pulse amplitude
‘τ’ is pulse width
The pulse trains periodic time can be denoted as ‘Ts’
In PAM, the signal amplitudes can be changed based on the modulating signal. Here, the
modulating signal like m(t), PAM can be achieved through multiplying the carrier signal with the
modulating signal. The o/p is a set of pulses, where the amplitudes of signals can be changed on
the modulating signal.
The specific type of PAM can be referred to as normal PAM, as the pulses follow the outline of
the modulating signal. The pulse train works like a periodic switching signal toward the modulator.
Once it is switched ON, and then allows the samples of modulating signals to supply toward the
output. The pulse train’s periodic time is called the sampling period.
Fs = 1/Ts
The natural pulse amplitude modulation equation can be described as the following.
The modulated pulse train can be described like
E(t) = m(t) +Up(t)
= a0 m(t) + a1 m(t) cos2πnt/Ts + a2 m(t) cos4πnt/Ts+….
In the above equation, the modulated signal includes modulating signal that is multiplied through
the dc term like ‘a0’a sequence of DSBSC based components which results from the harmonics
within the pulse signal.
To stop the low-edge of the DSBSC range from overlapping through the less frequency range, the
division ∆ among these should not below zero. So
W + ∆ = fs – W, with ∆ ≥ 0
fs ≥ 2W
This statement is compulsory on the sampling frequency which states that the sampling frequency
should be as a minimum double the maximum frequency within the modulating signal.
If the sampling state is not met the spectra overlap parts, then such overlap is permitted to arise
the spectra can no longer be divided through filtering. As the maximum frequency components
within the DSBSC range come out within the less frequency fraction of the spectrum, so this effect
is known as aliasing.
3. To evade aliasing, first, the modulation signal can be passed throughout an anti-aliasing filter to
cut off the signal spectrum at W value.
The ‘fs’ (sampling frequency) = 2W which is called the Nyquist Frequency due to its wideband
nature, pulse amplitude modulation includes an extremely limited range of applications for direct
signal transmission. It is used in instrumentation systems & in ADC for computer interfacing.

How PAM Signal is generated?
The basic type of pulse modulation is known as PAM or Pulse amplitude modulation, where the
signal can be sampled at regular intervals & every sample can be made relative to the modulating
signal’s amplitude on the sampling moment.
The above block diagram of PAM shows the PAM signal generation from the sampler where the
sampler includes two inputs namely sampling/carrier signal and modulating signal. Therefore the
signal amplitude is relative to the modulating signal through where the data can be carried. So, this
is the PAM signal. The spectrum of the PAM signal is shown in the above waveforms which
include the message & the sampling signals where the carrier train of signals using the waveform
plotted within the time field.Pulse Modulation is mainly used for transmitting analog data like data
otherwise continuous speech signal.
Circuit Design of Pulse Amplitude Modulation
A PAM is generated from a pure sine wave
modulating signal and a square wave generator
which produces the carrier pulse and a PAM
modulator circuit.
A sine wave generator is used which is based on
the Wien Bridge Oscillator circuit. This can
produce distortion less sine wave at the output. The
circuit is designed such that the amplitude and the
frequency of the oscillator can be adjusted using a
potentiometer.
The frequency can be varied by varying the
potentiometer R2 and the amplitude of the adjusted
using the potentiometer R. The frequency of the sine wave generated is given by
F = 1/(2π√R1R2C1C2)
4. The square wave is generated using op-amp based astable circuit. The op-amp is used to reduce
the complexity of generating the square wave. The ON time and the OFF time of the pulse can be
made identical and the frequency can be adjusted without changing them.
Square Wave Generator
The time period of the pulses generated depends on the value of the resistance R and the
capacitance C. The period of the op-amp astable circuit is given by
T = 2.2RC
Demodulation of PAM
For the demodulation of the PAM signal, the PAM signal is fed to the low pass filter. The low pass
filter eliminates the high-frequency ripples and generates the demodulated signal. This signal is
then applied to the inverting amplifier to amplify its signal level to have the demodulated output
with almost equal amplitude with the modulating signal.
Demodulation of PAM signal
5. Procedure:
1. Setup the apparatus as per requirement.
2. Insert one wire on frequency as an input.
3. Connect ground of MCM 25ev to the ground of board and +ve to +ve and-ve to -ve of
board.
4. Now common the +ve nd -ve of oscilloscope and connect the other probe to different
points on MCM trainor to see the different phases of amplitude modulation on
oscilloscope one by one.
5. We will see different types of signals at different phases or points of PAM on
oscilloscope.
6. Similarly, we do the demodulation process by attaching the transmitter trainor to reciever
and we will observe the reverse in demodulation at different phases.
