pulsecarrying

Pulsecarrying refers to the transmission of information using the timing or duration of pulses. This method is employed in various communication systems and technologies. Instead of a continuous signal or distinct states like binary 0s and 1s, information is encoded in the pattern of pulses. For example, a longer pulse might represent one piece of data, while a shorter pulse represents another, or the time between pulses could convey meaning.

This technique is found in older telegraph systems, where the duration of electrical pulses determined the transmitted characters. In modern digital electronics, pulse-width modulation (PWM) utilizes the width of pulses to control power delivery to devices like motors or LEDs, effectively analogizing a continuous signal by rapidly switching it on and off. In telecommunications, certain modulation schemes can encode data by varying the timing of pulse transmissions. The core principle remains the consistent measurement and interpretation of pulse characteristics to reconstruct the original information. This approach offers a way to encode data when continuous signal modulation is impractical or less efficient.
