WHAT IS MODULATION?
• Process of Varying one or more properties of a carrier signal with a Modulation signal
Pulse modulation:
• Signals are transmitted in the form of Pulses.
• Two categories
1. Analog
2. Digital
DIGITAL
• A code which indicates the sample amplitude to the nearest
predetermined level.
PULSE CODE MODULATION (PCM)
• PCM is a digital technique that involves sampling an analog signal at regular intervals and coding the measured amplitude
into a series of binary values, which are transmitted by modulation of a pulsed, or intermittent, carrier.
• To convert analog signal into digital signal.
• Signals are transmitted in binary codes.
• Techniques used in PCM:
1. Sampling
2. Quantizing
3. Encoding
• The signal voltages are divided into levels and each is assigned binary number representing the level close to it’s amplitude.
• First, Analog signal is converted into discrete signal by sampling.
• Then, we do quantization to convert these signal into digital signal.
• Then it will be encoded and it produces a digital data which are in series of binary digits.
• The number of levels depends on the number of bits used to express the sample value and it is given by N=2 m

ADVANTAGES OF PCM:
• Transmitter efficiency is more.
• It is mainly used in long distant communication
• It has higher noise immunity when compared to other method
• Uniform transmissions quality.
• Integrated digital network.
• The PCM signal is more resistance to interference than normal signal.
• Low manufacturing cost.
• Good performance over very poor transmissions paths.
DISADVANTAGES OF PCM
• More bandwidth is required when compared to analogue systems.
• In this method encoding, decoding and quantization of the circuit have to be done. This makes it more
complex.
APPLICATIONS:
• Used in Telephony.
• It is used in Space communication.
• It is used in the satellite transmission system.
• One of the recent applications is the compact disc.
• Digital audio applications.
