  • Abstract
    The interference characteristics of pulse-time modulation are analyzed mathematically and experimentally; particular forms examined are pulse-duration and pulse-position modulation. Both two-station and two-path interference are considered. Two-station interference is found to be characterized by virtually complete predominance of the stronger signal, and by noise of random character. Two-path interference, in the case of single-channel pulse-duration modulation, generally permits fairly good reception of speech and music signals.
