  2. Pulse-width modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation

    Pulse-width modulation (PWM), also known as pulse-duration modulation (PDM) or pulse-length modulation (PLM), [1] is any method of representing a signal as a rectangular wave with a varying duty cycle (and for some methods also a varying period). PWM is useful for controlling the average power or amplitude delivered by an electrical signal.

  3. Servo control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_control

    Servo and receiver connections A diagram showing typical PWM timing for a servomotor. Servo control is a method of controlling many types of RC/hobbyist servos by sending the servo a PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal, a series of repeating pulses of variable width where either the width of the pulse (most common modern hobby servos) or the duty cycle of a pulse train (less common today ...

  4. Amplitude modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_modulation

    Amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting messages with a radio wave. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the wave is varied in proportion to that of the message signal, such as an audio signal .

  5. Pulse-code modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation

    The word pulse in the term pulse-code modulation refers to the pulses to be found in the transmission line. This perhaps is a natural consequence of this technique having evolved alongside two analog methods, pulse-width modulation and pulse-position modulation , in which the information to be encoded is represented by discrete signal pulses of ...

  6. Chirp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp

    It is commonly applied to sonar, radar, and laser systems, and to other applications, such as in spread-spectrum communications (see chirp spread spectrum). This signal type is biologically inspired and occurs as a phenomenon due to dispersion (a non-linear dependence between frequency and the propagation speed of the wave components).

  7. Delta modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_modulation

    The complete function of delta modulation, VAC and Echo Control for six ports was implemented in a single digital integrated circuit chip with twelve bit arithmetic. A single digital-to-analog converter (DAC) was shared by all six ports providing voltage compare functions for the modulators and feeding sample and hold circuits for the ...

  8. Power electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_electronics

    If a triangular carrier is used with sinusoidal modulating signals, the CSI is said to be utilizing synchronized-pulse-width-modulation (SPWM). If full over-modulation is used in conjunction with SPWM the inverter is said to be in square-wave operation. [17] The second CSI modulation category, SHE is also similar to its VSI counterpart.

  9. Duty cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_cycle

    This technique is known as pulse-width modulation. In the printer / copier industry, the duty cycle specification refers to the rated throughput (that is, printed pages) of a device per month. In a welding power supply , the maximum duty cycle is defined as the percentage of time in a 10-minute period that it can be operated continuously before ...
