Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
▪ Pulse
code modulation (PCM) is produced by analog-to-digital conversion process.
Quantized PAM

▪ As
in the case of other pulse modulation techniques, the rate at which samples are taken
and encoded must conform to the Nyquist sampling rate.

▪ Thesampling rate must be greater than, twice the highest frequency in the analog signal,
fs > 2fm(max)
▪Telegraph time-division multiplex (TDM) was conveyed as early as 1853, by the
American inventor M.B. Farmer. The electrical engineer W.M. Miner, in 1903.
▪PCM was invented by the British engineer Alec Reeves in 1937 in France.
▪It was not until about the middle of 1943 that the Bell Labs people became aware of the
use of PCM binary coding as already proposed by Alec Reeves.
Limitations and Modifications of PCM

Advantages of PCM
1. Robustness to noise and interference
2. Efficient regeneration
3. Efficient SNR and bandwidth trade-off
4. Uniform format
5. Ease add and drop

6. Secure
 a basic digital signaling rate of 64 kbit/s. To carry a typical
phone call, the audio sound is digitized at an 8 kHz sample
rate using 8-bit pulse-code modulation.

Delta Modulation
 In Delta Modulation, only one bit is
transmitted per sample
 That bit is a one if the current sample is more
positive than the previous sample, and a zero
if it is more negative
 Since so little information is transmitted, delta
modulation requires higher sampling rates
than PCM for equal quality of reproduction
Delta Modulation
 This scheme sends only the difference between
pulses, if the pulse at time tn+1 is higher in
amplitude value than the pulse at time tn, then a
single bit, say a “1”, is used to indicate the
positive value.
 If the pulse is lower in value, resulting in a
negative value, a “0” is used.
 This scheme works well for small changes in
signal values between samples.
 If changes in amplitude are large, this will result
in large errors.

 Distortions in DM system
1. If the slope of analog signal is much higher
than that of approximated digital signal
over long duration, than this difference is
called Slope overload distortion.
2. The difference between quantized signal
and original signal is called as Granular
noise. It is similar to quantization noise.

Delta Modulation

Two types of quantization errors :


Slope overload distortion and granular
noise
Delta Modulation
Distortions in DM system
Granular noise occurs when step size▲ is
large relative to local slope m(t).
There is a further modification in this
system,in which step size is not fixed.
That scheme is known as Adaptive Delta
Modulation.
Adaptive Delta Modulation
A better performance can be achieved if the
value of ▲ is not fixed.
The value of ▲ changes according to the
amplitude of the analog signal.
It has wide dynamic range due to variable
step size.
Also better utilisation of bandwidth as
compared to delta modulation.
Improvement in signal to noise ratio.

Baseband transmission
To transmit information through physical channels, PCM
sequences (codewords) are transformed to pulses
(waveforms).
◦ Each waveform carries a symbol from a set of size M.
◦ Each transmit symbol represents k = log2 M bits of the PCM
words.
◦ PCM waveforms (line codes) are used for binary symbols (M=2).
◦ M-ary pulse modulation are used for non-binary symbols (M>2).

22
Line Codes and Spectra
Line Code in PCM
The output of an ADC can be transmited
over a baseband channel.
• The digital information must first be
converted into a physical signal.
• The physical signal is called a line
code.
Line coders use the terminology
mark to mean binary one and space
to mean binary zero.

23
DEFINIATION: Binary 1’s and 0’s, such as in PCM signaling, may be
represented in various serial-bit signaling formats called line codes.
Binary Line Coding
There are two major categories: return-to-zero (RZ) and nonreturn-tozero
(NRZ).
With RZ coding, the waveform returns to a zero-volt level for a portion
(usually on-half) of the bit interval.
Unipolar signaling: “1” -- +A (high level ) “0” -- 0 (zero level)
polar signaling: “1” -- +A “0” -- -A
Bipolar signaling: “1” -- alternately positive or negative values “0” -- 0

PCM waveforms
PCM waveforms category:

▪ Nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) ▪ Phase encoded


▪ Return-to-zero (RZ) ▪ Multilevel binary
