John E. Hadstate - 2008-07-16 16:57:00
Start with logic 0s and 1s. Convert them to pulses that look
roughly like Gaussian bell curves each going from near-zero to
maximum to near-zero in one bit time, 0s going negative, 1s
going positive. Use said negative-and-positive-going pulses to
frequency-modulate a carrier.

What does PCM mean to you?
Jerry Avins - 2005-10-03 15:09:00
PCM stands for pulse code modulation. Can there be PCM without
modulation? Is it still PCM if the modulation carries more than one bit
per symbol? Radium is confused (or a clever troll), but his ravings
raise an interesting question.

Hi Morten,
Considering DVBT modulation (which is also an OFDM signal), the
effect of groupdelay variation over the carriers used by the modulation

So you have a signal that has some form of modulation on it? Or do
you have multiple signals that you need to deinterleave? There are
lots of available algorithms for detecting modulation types etc, check

Steve Pope - 2010-05-02 02:07:00
Shouldn't amplitude modulation really be called "Magnitude
Modulation"?
After all, in FM, the amplitude is still being modulated, but
the magnitude is constant.
Or maybe I have too much time on my hands.

Hi there,
I have the following question:
1) For each modulation scheme, there is a corresponding bandwidth
efficiency (let's call it n). n = R/B where R is the data rate and B is
the bandwidth. My question is can I simple say R = n*B no matter how big B
is. i.e. can I reach higher data rate by...FM modulation

This sounds like modulation to me. Have you looked into calculation of the

measure the "wavyness" is to pass the signal through a detector appropriate to
the type of modulation and measure the statistics of the output ...Digital modulation!!

Hi:
Is Quadrature Frequency Modulation used? What for?
AFAIK, Quadrature Amplitude Modulation uses a combo of AM and
