Pulse-amplitude Modulation - Generation of PAM

Generation of PAM

The signal is sampled at regular intervals and each sample is made proportional to the magnitude of the signal at the instant of sampling. These sampled pulses may then be sent either directly by a channel to the receiving end or may be made to modulated using a carrier wave before transmission.

For the generation of a PAM signal we use a flat top type PAM scheme because during the transmission,the noise is interfered at top of the transmission pulse which can be easily removed if the PAM pulse in flat top.
