3.2 Pulse amplitude modulation Basis ---- The sampling theorem PAM. The amplitude of the carrier pulse varies with the analog baseband signal. Characteristics of PAM signal
Pulse-type signal, its amplitude denotes the analog information. Satisfied with sampling theorem PAM’s bandwidth is wider than that of analog waveform
