3. Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
Most current digital audio systems (computers, compact discs, digital telephony etc.) use multi-bit Pulse
Code Modulation (PCM) to represent the sound signal. Analog to PCM conversion consists of three steps:
Sampling, Quantizing and Encoding.
PCM Transmitter
PCM Receiver

5. PCM Advantages and Disadvantages
β’ Advantages of PCM:
1- Low channel noise and interference.
2- Easy multiplexing of various PCM signals.
β’ Disadvantages of PCM:
1- Complex systems.
2- Wide bandwidth is required.
6. Q (1):- A compact dis (CD) records audio signals digitally by using PCM. Assume the audio signal 15KHz.
1- What is the Nyquist rate.
2- If the samples are quantized into L = 65536 levels and then binary coded, determine the number of
binary digits required to encoded a sample.
3- Determine the number of binary digits per second (bit rate).
1- ππ = ππ = 2ππ
ππ = 2 β 15 πΎ = 30 πΎπ»π§
2- πΏ = 2π
π =
πΏππ πΏ
πΏππ 2
=
πΏππ (65536)
πΏππ 2
= 16 πππ‘
3- π π = πππ
π π = 16 β 30 πΎ = 480 πΎ (b/s)
Solution:-
7. Q (2):- A television has band limited 4.5 MHz. This signal is sampled, quantized and binary coded to obtain
a PCM signal.
1- Determine the sample rate if the signal is to be sampled at a rate 20% above the Nyquist rate .
2- If the samples are quantized into L = 1024 levels and then binary coded, determine the number of
binary digits required to encoded a sample.
3- Determine the number of binary digits per second (bit rate) and the minimum bandwidth required to
transmit this signal.
Solution:-
1- ππ = 2ππ= 2* 4.5 M = 9 MHz
β΄ ππ > 20% ππ
ππ > 20% β 9 ππ»π§ =1.8 MHz
ππ = 9 M + 1.8 M =10.8 MHz
2- πΏ = 2π
π =
πΏππ πΏ
πΏππ 2
=
πΏππ (1024)
πΏππ 2
= 10 πππ‘
3- π π= πππ
π π = 10 β 10.8 π = 108 π (b/s)
