  2. Pulse-position modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-position_modulation

    An ancient use of pulse-position modulation was the Greek hydraulic semaphore system invented by Aeneas Stymphalus around 350 B.C. that used the water clock principle to time signals. [3] In this system, the draining of water acts as the timing device, and torches are used to signal the pulses.

  3. Time-hopping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-hopping

    Time-hopping (TH) is a communications signal technique which can be used to achieve anti-jamming (AJ) or low probability of intercept (LPI). It can also refer to pulse-position modulation, which in its simplest form employs 2 k discrete pulses (referring to the unique positions of the pulse within the transmission window) to transmit k bit(s) per pulse.

  4. Types of radio emissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_radio_emissions

    Single-sideband modulation with full carrier (e.g. as used by CHU) J: Single-sideband with suppressed carrier (e.g. Shortwave utility and amateur stations) K: Pulse-amplitude modulation: L: Pulse-width modulation (e.g. as used by WWVB) M: Pulse-position modulation: N: Unmodulated carrier (steady, single-frequency signal) P: Sequence of pulses ...

  5. Rotary dial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_dial

    Pulse count dialing is a digital addressing system which uses decimal pulse count modulation. The typical average baud rate is 10 bits per second, though the system will usually accept from about 9 through 13 pulses per second, a requirement due to variations in the rotary dial mechanism governor speed.

  6. Modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulation

    Categorization for signal modulation based on data and carrier types. In electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a separate signal called the modulation signal that typically contains information to be transmitted. [1]

  7. Measurement while drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_while_drilling

    Negative pulse Negative pulse tools briefly open and close the valve to release mud from inside the drillpipe out to the annulus. This produces a decrease in pressure that can be seen at surface. The digital information can be encoded in the pressure signal using line codes or pulse-position modulation. [9] Continuous wave

  8. 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 ...

    Position weight matrix, a representation in motifs in biological sequences; Pulse-width modulation, a technique for controlling the average power delivered by an electrical signal; PWM (window manager), a Unix-based X window manager
