Principle of Optical PPM Modulator

Optical Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) is a digital modulation technique where information is encoded in the temporal position of an optical pulse within a predefined time frame (or slot). This is repeated every T seconds, such that the transmitted bit rate is bits per second. It is primarily useful for. Definition: A modulation technique that allows variation in the position of the pulses according to the amplitude of the sampled modulating signal is known as Pulse Position Modulation (PPM). It is another type of PTM, where the amplitude and width of the pulses are kept constant and only the. As a widely used modulation technique in the field of communication, PPM modulation techniques have the advantages of high interference immunity, simple coding and high-power utilization, and are often applied in practical scenarios. PPM modulation techniques can be divided into three categories. In this type of modulation, continuous signals are sampled at normal intervals, so this modulation technique is used to transmit analog information. [PDF]
