What does a monostable contribute to a pulse position modulator?

  • A.A ramp against which the message can be compared
  • B.A clock defining the boundaries of each channel slot
  • C.A holding capacitor that retains the sampled value
  • D.A pulse of fixed width at a variable instant

Answer: D

The monostable turns a moving edge into a short pulse of standard width, which is exactly what position modulation needs - all the information in the timing, none in the shape. The ramp belongs to the width modulator ahead of it, the slot clock comes from the multiplexer, and the holding capacitor belongs to a sample-and-hold. A stage that standardises everything except the one parameter carrying the message is what gives a scheme its noise immunity.
