FPGA-based PPM Modulation System Design

Abstract

As a widely used modulation technique in the field of communication, PPM modulation techniques have the advantages of high interference immunity, simple coding and high-power utilization, and are often applied in practical scenarios. PPM modulation techniques can be divided into three categories. single pulse position modulation, differential pulse position modulation and multi pulse position modulation. In different application scenarios, different kinds of pulse position modulation methods should be selected for modulation. In this paper, the frame structures of these three types of pulse position modulation are discussed using the Verilog language based on FPGA, the corresponding mapping relationships for each type of pulse position modulation are given, and the design and performance of these three types of pulse position modulation demodulation systems are compared.
