closely resembling the original information signal.
• PAM Drawback: Drawback of PAM is that it is very susceptible to noi se. The precise value
of the pulse height is significant in PAM system and any variation due to noise will distort the
signal. As compared to it, PPM and PWM have better noise performance.
7. Pulse Code M odulation
This is the most popular scheme used in digital communication systems. It allows analog
information transmission as a di gital signal. Basically it is a digital transmission system with an
Analog-to-Digital Converter (A DC) at the input and a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) at the
output.
In PCM, the analog signa l is sampled at discrete time intervals and then converted to a serial n-bit
binary code for transmission. Where ' n ' may be any positive integer greater than 1. Each code has
the same number of bits and requires the same time for transmission . In PCM, the pulses are of fixed
