How can pulse width modulation be converted to pulse position modulation?

  • A.Amplify the pulses and clip them to a constant amplitude level
  • B.Sample the pulse train again at twice its repetition frequency
  • C.Trigger a fixed pulse from each trailing edge
  • D.Rectify the pulse train and smooth it with a low-pass filter

Answer: C

Since a width-modulated pulse's trailing edge already moves with the modulation, a fixed narrow pulse triggered from that edge gives position modulation directly. Rectifying and smoothing recovers the original signal instead. Clipping normalises amplitude without changing the encoding. And resampling would introduce a fresh set of problems. Noticing that one scheme's waveform already contains another's information is what makes these conversions so simple in practice.
