SUMMARY
Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) is not suitable for long-distance transmission due to its susceptibility to noise and signal degradation over extended distances. The infinite length of the output signal contributes to these issues, making PAM less effective compared to other modulation techniques. This discussion highlights the limitations of PAM in the context of applied electromagnetics and transmission line theory.
