PCM (Pulse Code Modulation):

  • PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a digital scheme for transmitting analog data.
  • The amplitude of an analog signal can take any value over a continuous range, i.e. it can take on infinite values.
  • But, digital signal amplitude can take on finite values.
  • Analog signals can be converted into digital by sampling and quantizing.

 

Advantages of PCM:

  • Encoding is possible in PCM.
  • Very high noise immunity, i.e. better performance in the presence of noise.
  • Convenient for long-distance communication.
  • Good signal to noise ratio.

 

Disadvantage of PCM:

  • The circuitry is complex.
  • It requires a large bandwidth.
  • Synchronization is required between transmitter and receiver.
