Information on Pulse length modulation (PLM)

Pulse length modulation (PLM), also known as pulse-width modulation (PWM) or pulse-duration modulation (PDM), is a pulse modulation technique that transmits amplitude information of an analogue signal, not by the height of the pulse (as in PAM), but by its duration.


Other topics in our resources on Communications Systems related to Pulse length modulation include: 
 
  • Pulse code modulation (PCM)
  • Alternate mark inversion (AMI)
  • Pulse duration modulation (PDM)
    		•
  • Pulse amplitude modulation (PAM)
  • Delta modulation
    		•
  • Pulse position modulation (PPM)
  • Pulse width modulation (PWM)
