Description
A modulation code with \(q\) equal-energy signals in which each codeword has one pulse in one of \(q\) time slots and zeros elsewhere.Realizations
Greek hydraulic semaphore system [1,2].Telegraph time-division multiplexing.Radio-control, fiber-optic communications, and deep-space communications.Cousins
- Biorthogonal spherical code— PPM codewords form a spherical code whose constellation consists of the standard basis vectors. Adjoining negatives yields the corresponding biorthogonal spherical code.
- One-hot code— The PPM code is a continuous analogue of the one-hot code.
- PPM c-q code
