INTRODUCTION Modulation : Modulation can be defined as the process of varying a parameter of carrier signal in accordance with the instantaneous value of the message signal. Modulation is used to reduce the size of the antenna and increases efficiency.
Types of modulation techniques PAM--Pulse Amplitude Modulation PWM—Pulse Width Modulation PPM—Pulse Position Modulation
What is PWM…? Pulse width modulation is a technique that generates variable width signal generally based on modulator signal information. The general purpose of PWM is to control power delivery.
Block Diagram of PWM
Power supply
Transformer It is a device used to increment or decrement the input voltage as per the requirement. In this we used step down transformer to convert 230V AC to 12V AC.
Rectifier A circuit which is used to convert A.C to D.C is known as rectifier.
Voltage Regulator Here we used LM-7812 Voltage regulator. It is used to supply a stable voltage.
LED LED is a two lead semiconductor light source. It resembles a basic pn-junction diode, which emits light when active. Representation of LED
Pulse width modulation PWM is a modulation technique, which converts an analog signal into a digital signal for transmission. PWM converts an audio signal into a sequence of pulses having constant amplitude, but the width is proportional to amplitude of an audio signal.

Output waveform of Modulation
Demodulation Demodulation is the act of extracting the original information bearing signal from a modulated carrier wave. It is used to recover the information content from the modulated carrier wave.
Pulse width demodulation
Working of demodulation The regenerated PWM is then applied to the ramp generator & synchronization generator. The ramp generator produces ramps for the duration of pulses such that height of ramps are proportional to the width of ramp pulses. Synchronous pulse generator produces references pulses with constant amplitude and pulse width.
