196. Which is not pulse modulation type

PDM

PAM

PFM

PPM

Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM), Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM), and Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) are all recognized forms of pulse modulation used in communication systems and signal processing.

Pulse Density Modulation (PDM) is a type of modulation where the relative density of pulses corresponds to the analog signal's amplitude. It is commonly used in digital audio applications, particularly in converting analog signals to digital form. While it shares similarities with other pulse modulation techniques, it is not as widely recognized or used in general communication systems compared to PAM, PFM, and PPM. Therefore, PDM is not typically considered a common type of pulse modulation.
