The document discusses pulse modulation techniques in digital communication. It introduces three main types of pulse modulation: PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation), PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), and PPM (Pulse Position Modulation). It then focuses on PAM modulation, discussing natural sampling and flat-top sampling. For natural sampling, it explains how the spectrum is periodic with harmonics determined by the sampling frequency. For flat-top sampling, it shows how the signal is reconstructed by filtering each sampled value. Proper filtering and equalization are needed to remove distortion from the band-limited sampling pulse.
