 Low-power, infrared information transmission system - Patent 4151407
The pulse position modulation circuit is coupled at its output to an infrared light-emitting device.
The pulse position modulator circuit is comprised of a timer coupled to the signal provided by the input device to generate output pulses which deviate from a predetermined frequency by an amount corresponding to the voltage level of the input signal.
The output of the modulator circuit is coupled to the infrared light-emitting device to activate the device in accordance with the generated output pulses and generate bursts of infrared energy which are in synchronism with the output pulses.

 Modulation
In Pulse Amplitude Modulation, a pulse is generated with an amplitude corresponding to that of the modulating waveform.
Also known as Pulse Time Modulation, PPM is a scheme where the pulses of equal amplitude are generated at a rate controlled by the modulating signal's amplitude.
Modulation is the process where a Radio Frequency or Light Wave's amplitude, frequency, or phase is changed in order to transmit intelligence.

 how
PPM, pulse position modulation or PWM, pulse width modulation, which are one and the same thing, is one of the ways in which the position the your sticks on your Transmitter is relayed to the servos.
You now have a series of pulses, each one between 1 and 2 ms in length depending on stick position followed by a rest period of 20 ms (This is very important).
This separates the pulses back into separate channels and as the counter only changes when it gets a pulse, each output pulse is the same length as the one from the encoder.

 pulse modulation
PULSE CODE MODULATION is where the amplitude of the modulation is measured at regular intervals and a binary number generated to represent that amplitude.
Pulse modulation consists of switching the carrier on and off as required.
Here the width and amplitude of the pulse are constant but its position is determined by the amplitude of the modulating signal.

 Pulse-amplitude modulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pulse-amplitude modulation is now rarely used, having been largely superseded by pulse-code modulation, and, more recently, by pulse-position modulation.
Pulse-amplitude modulation, acronym PAM, is a form of signal modulation where the message information is encoded in the amplitude of a series of signal pulses.
In particular, all telephone modems faster than 300 bit/s use quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).

The short lines above the pulses show where they would be in the absence of modulation.
As in PAM and PWM the carrier is a pulse train and as in PWM each component of the carrier's spectrum becomes something similar to an FM spectrum.

 Pulse-Time Modulation
The negative pulses are position-modulated in accordance with the modulating waveform.

 PPM Sequences
A pulse position modulation (PPM) sequence is a one dimensional array(ruler) of dots and blanks divided in N frames, and each frame having M slots.
We found that the best PPM sequences are of size N=17 and M=16, and that only exist six (6) sequences of this size.
Some properties of the PPM sequences are that each frame contains exactly one dot, and that the correlation and cross-correlation is one.

 Analog Digital Pulse Modulation -> Vinyl Records Australia
A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator and a device that performs demodulation is known as a demodulator.
Modulation is the process of varying a carrier signal, typically a sinusoidal signal, in order to use that signal to convey information.
In digital modulation, the changes in the signal are chosen from a fixed list (the modulation alphabet) each entry of which conveys a different possible piece of information (a symbol).

 PWM -- Pulse Width Modulation
Pulse Width Modulation refers to a method of carrying information on a train of pulses, the information being encoded it the width of the pulses.
The worst case, in fact, is at motor stall (holding position against a load), where motor voltage = zero, so it is the entire supply voltage times the motor current dissipated in the servo amp.
In applications to motion control, it is not exactly information we are encoding, but a method of controlling power without (significant) loss.
