 Pulse-width modulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pulse center may be fixed in the center of the time window and both edges of the pulse moved to compress or expand the width.
Because the duty cycle of the modulation is the same as the AC frequency of the line (50 Hz or 60 Hz in most countries) and PWM dimmers are often used with incandescent lamps, the human eye sees only the average intensity (see flicker fusion).
The discrete on/off states of the modulation are used to control the state of the switch(es) which corespondingly control the voltage across or current through the load.

 Modulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A device that performs modulation is known as a modulator and a device that performs the inverse operation of demodulation is known as a demodulator.
Modulation is the process of varying a carrier 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).

 Pulse-position modulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One of the principle advantages of Pulse Position Modulation is that it is an M-ary modulation technique that can be implemented non-coherently, such that the receiver does not need to use a Phase-locked loop (PLL) to track the phase of the carrier.
Pulse position modulation is also used for communication to the ISO 15693 contactless Smart card.
Pulse-position modulation is a form of signal modulation in which M message bits are encoded by transmitting a single pulse in one of 2

In this discussion, the modulator uses Pulse Width Modulation internally, however, the pulses are removed and the output converted to modulated, standard audio-modulated DC before application to the modulated RF stage.
If you want your pulse width modulator to be able to modulate your transmitter up to 99% negative, without distortion, then the pulse modulator/amplifier should be capable of passing a pulse which is 1/100th of the total period of the switching waveform.
The pulse waveform is set up so that, at carrier (no modulation) the modulator device is on for 40% of the total time, and off for 60% of the total time.

 Why PWM?
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is the most effective means to achieve constant voltage battery charging by switching the solar system controller’s power devices.
When a battery voltage reaches the regulation setpoint, the PWM algorithm slowly reduces the charging current to avoid heating and gassing of the battery, yet the charging continues to return the maximum amount of energy to the battery in the shortest time.
PWM has recently surfaced as the first significant advance in solar battery charging.
