Summary of PAM Require very wide bandwidth Bad noise performance Not good for long distance transmission Provide means for converting a analog signal to PCM signal Provide means for TDM(Time Division Multiplexing) Information from different source can be interleaved to transmit all of the information over a single channel

PCM(Pulse Code Modulation) ■ Definition PCM is essentially analog to digital conversion of a signal type where the information contained in the instantaneous samples of an analog signal is represented by digital words in a serial bit stream Analog signal is first sampled at a rate higher than Nyquist rate,and then samples are quantized Uniform PCM:Equal quantization interval Nonuniform PCM:Unequal quantization interval

Why PCM is so popular PCM requires much wider bandwidth ▣But, Inexpensive digital circuitry PCM signal from analog sources(audio,video,etc.)may be merged with data signals(from digital computer)and transmitted over a common high-speed digital communication system(This is TDM) Regeneration of clean PCM waveform using repeater. But,noise at the input may cause bit errors in regenerated PCM output signal The noise performance is superior than that of analog system. Further enhanced by using appropriate coding techniques
