Pulse-position modulation (PPM) format

Alternative names: Pulse-position modulation (PPM) code, Pulse-position modulation (PPM) scheme, Pulse-position modulation (PPM) signaling format.

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.

Greek hydraulic semaphore system [1,2].Telegraph time-division multiplexing.Radio-control, fiber-optic communications, and deep-space communications.

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.
Pulse-position (PPM) c-q modulation format— PPM c-q codes are quantum analogues of PPM codes.
