Communications - The amplitude of a carrier wave is modulated by a data signal and transmitted, for example by radio wave. At the receiving end it is possible to demodulate the signal if the orignal carrier wave is known and retrieve the data signal
advantage of pulse code modulation is of two fold
first noise interference is completely eliminated when the signal level exceeds the value of 20db or more
second the signal can be received and retransmitted as many times as required without an introduction of distortion

Main advantages of PAM are simple transmitter and receiver designs. PAM is used to carry information as well as to generate other pulse modulations.
pulse Amplitude modulation is used for efficient transmission of data interms of pulses rather than continuous
Pulse-Amplitude Modulation
QAM is a combination of phase modulation & amplitude modulation.
In pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), you send a single pulse of a certain height (amplitude) that represents the value of the sampled signal at that time. With pulse code modulation (PCM), you take the same sampled value, but now represent that value by N bits, where N is the number of quantized regions. Why send a whole bunch of bits instead of just a single pulse? Because PCM performs better in situations of higher noise (AWGN).
the maximum amplitude of carrier wave varied with respect to instantaneous values of message signal is called amplitude modulation
Analog Pulse modulation is discreet in time but the formation is transmitted in continuous form. In digital pulse modulation, not only the time axis is discreet but the information is also in digital form. Examples of Analog PM are PAM and PTM i.e pulse amplitude and pulse time modulations respectively. Examples of Digital PM are PCM and PDM i.e pulse code and pulse delta modulations respectively.
Explain with diagram the technique Pulse-width modulation?
Pulse-Amplitude Modulation
In Pulse Amplitude Modulation, amplitude of pulse varies with signal. Theoretically in analog modulation there infinite levels of amplitudes or continuous amplitude. Two level PAM is digital modulation where only 2 number of levels are there. Thus signal is quantized to two discrete levels.
Generally pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) is trasmitted as a series of DC levels and are mostly used in wired trasmissions (DC is not effective wirelessly).

PAM-pulse Amplitude Modulation It encodes information in the amplitude of a sequence of signal pulses. PPM-Pulse Position modulation PWM-Pulse Width Modulation.It results in variation of average waveform.

In pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), you send a single pulse of a certain height (amplitude) that represents the value of the sampled signal at that time.

Why send a whole bunch of bits instead of just a single pulse? Because PCM performs better in situations of higher noise (AWGN).
In amplitude modulation, modulation depth refers to the ratio of the unmodulated carrier amplitude to the amplitude deviation for which the modulated carrier wave reaches its minimum value. If this minimum value is zero, the modulation depth is 100%.For amplitude modulation,modulation depth = (a-b)/(a+b),wherea is the unmodulated carrier amplitude, andb is the minimum amplitude deviation.The modulation depth ratio is also referred to as the modulation index.
