PAM

Written by Intrado | Jul 26, 2024 4:25:16 PM
Pulse Amplitude Modulation. A message protocol for transferal of ALI data. A modulation technique in which the
amplitude of each pulse is related to the amplitude of an analog signal. Used, for example, in time‐division multiplex
arrangements in which successive pulses represent samples from the individual voice‐band channels. PAM is also used
in time‐division switching systems of small and moderate size.
