What is pulse code modulation?Pulse Code Modulation:
- A digital representation of an analog signal.
- Signal sampling is done with the magnitude of the signal regularly at uniform intervals.
- Later quantized to a series of symbols in binary form.
- PCM is used in digital telephone systems and electronic musical keyboards.
- It is the standard form for digital audio in computer systems
- The signals are binary and are in two possible states i.e. logic 1(high) and logic 0 (low).
- At the receivers end a pulse code demodulator will convert the binary numbers into pulses having the same quantum levels.
- The pulses further are processed to restore the original analog waveform.
