I see that you need help in modulating a signal in MATLAB using PAM modulation.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to generate and plot a PAM modulated signal for any given binary sequence using MATLAB:
1. Define the Binary Sequence:
  • Start with the binary sequence you want to modulate, e.g., ‘001001111110’.
2. Create an Encoding Map:
  • Use a mapping to convert binary pairs to amplitude values, for example:
‘00’ → ‘-2’
‘11’ → ‘5’
‘01’ → ‘2’
‘10’ → ‘-5’
This mapping can be implemented using a ‘containers.Map’ in MATLAB.
Refer the following documentation to learn more about ‘containers.Map’:
3. Initialize the Signal:
  • Prepare an empty array to store the modulated signal values.
  • Define the duration for each pulse, e.g., 300 samples.
4. Decode the Binary Sequence:
  • Iterate through the binary sequence in steps matching the number of bits used per encoding unit.
  • For each encoding unit, use the encoding map to find the corresponding amplitude.
  • Append the amplitude value to the signal array, repeated for the pulse duration.
5. Plot the Modulated Signal:
  • Create a time vector corresponding to the length of the modulated signal.
  • Use the “plot” function to display the signal.
By following these steps, a PAM modulated signal can be effectively generated and visualized using MATLAB for any given binary sequence with a custom encoding scheme.
Here's an example of how this can be implemented in MATLAB:
% Define the binary sequence
binary_sequence = '001001111110';
% Define the mapping based on the given encoding scheme
encoding_map = containers.Map({'01', '10', '11', '00'}, [2, -5, 5, -2]);
% Initialize the signal array
signal = [];
% Pulse duration
pulse_duration = 300;
% Iterate through the binary sequence in steps of 2 to decode
for i = 1:2:length(binary_sequence)
% Extract the current binary pair
pair = binary_sequence(i:i+1);
% Map the binary pair to its corresponding value
modulated_value = encoding_map(pair);
% Append the modulated value to the signal array for the pulse duration
signal = [signal, repmat(modulated_value, 1, pulse_duration)];
end
% Plot the modulated signal
t = 1:length(signal);
figure;
plot(t, signal, 'LineWidth', 2);
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Amplitude');

Hope this helps.
