Pulse Modulation
• Analog pulse modulation: Sampling, i.e., information is transmitted only at discrete time instants. e.g. PAM, PPM and PDM
• Digital pulse modulation: Sampling and quantization, i.e., information is discretized in both time and amplitude. e.g. PCM

PCM- PULSE CODE MODULATION
• DEFINITION: Pulse code modulation (PCM) is essentially analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion where the information contained in the instantaneous samples of an analog signal is represented by digital words in a serial bit stream.

EKT358 – Communication System
Dr. Muzammil Bin Jusoh
PCM-Sampling, Quantizing, and Encoding
The PCM signal is generated by carrying out three basic operations:
1. Sampling
2. Quantizing
3. Encoding
Sampling operation generates a flat-top PAM signal.
Quantizing operation approximates the analog values by using a finite number of levels, L.
PCM signal is obtained from the quantized PAM signal by encoding each quantized sample value into a digital word.

PCM as ADC Sampling
Makes the signal discrete in time.
If the analog input has a bandwidth of B Hz, then the minimum sample frequency such that the signal can be reconstructed without distortion, fs >= 2B
Quantization Makes the signal discrete in
amplitude.

Definition of Quantization
• A process of converting an infinite number of possibilities to a finite number of conditions (rounding off the amplitudes of flat-top samples to a manageable number of levels).
• In other words, quantization is a process of assigning the analog signal samples to a pre-determined discrete levels. The number of quantization levels, L determine the number of bits per sample, n.

Quantization The output of a sampler is still continuous in amplitude.
– Each sample can take on any amplitude value e.g. 3.752 V, 0.001 V, etc.
– The number of possible values is infinite. To transmit as a digital signal we must restrict the number of
possible values.
Quantization is the process of “rounding off” a sample according to some rule.
– E.g. suppose we must round to the nearest discrete value, then:
3.752 --> 3.8 0.001 --> 0

Uniform Quantization Most ADC’s use uniform
quantizers.
The quantization levels of a uniform quantizer are equally spaced apart.
Uniform quantizers are optimal when the input distribution is uniform. When all values within the Dynamic Range of the quantizer are equally likely.

• A numerical indication of how efficiently a PCM code is utilized.
• The ratio of the minimum number of bits required to achieve a certain dynamic range to the actual number of PCM bits used.

The quantization interval @ quantum = the magnitude difference between adjacent steps,
The resolution = the magnitude of a quantum = the voltage of the minimum step size.
The quantization error = the quantization noise = ½ quantum = (orig. sample voltage – quantize level)
The quantization range: is the range of input voltages that
will be converted to a particular code.

Nonuniform Quantization Many signals such as speech have a nonuniform distribution.
The amplitude is more likely to be close to zero than to be at higher levels.
Nonuniform quantizers have unequally spaced levels
The spacing can be chosen to optimize the SNR for a particular type of signal.

Example: Nonuniform 3 bit quantizer
• Nonuniform quantizers are difficult to make and expensive. • An alternative is to first pass the speech signal through a
nonlinearity before quantizing with a uniform quantizer. • The nonlinearity causes the signal amplitude to be
Compressed. ▫ The input to the quantizer will have a more uniform distribution.
• At the receiver, the signal is Expanded by an inverse to the nonlinearity.
• The process of compressing and expanding is called Companding.

The typical values used in practice are: =255 and A=87.6. After quantization the different quantized levels have to be represented in
a form suitable for transmission. This is done via an encoding process.

SNR Performance of Compander
34
• The output SNR is a function of input signal level for uniform
quantizing.
• But it is relatively insensitive for input level for a compander.
• α = 4.77 - 20 Log ( V/xrms) for Uniform Quantizer
V is the peak signal level and xrms is the rms value
• α = 4.77 - 20 log[Ln(1 + μ)] for μ-law companding
• α = 4.77 - 20 log[1 + Ln A] for A-law companding

Encoding
The output of the quantizer is one of L possible signal levels. If we want to use a binary transmission system, then we need to map
each quantized sample into an n bit binary word.
Encoding is the process of representing each quantized sample by n bit code word. The mapping is one-to-one so there is no distortion introduced by
encoding.

Bandwidth of PCM Signals The spectrum of the PCM signal is not directly
related to the spectrum of the input signal.
The bandwidth of (serial) binary PCM waveforms depends on the bit rate R and the waveform pulse shape used to represent the data.
The Bit Rate R is
R=nfs
Where n is the number of bits in the PCM word (M=2n) and fs is the sampling rate.
42
EKT358 – Communication System
Dr. Muzammil Bin Jusoh
For no aliasing case (fs≥ 2B), the MINIMUM Bandwidth of PCM Bpcm(Min) is:
Bpcm(Min) = R/2 = nfs//2
The Minimum Bandwidth of nfs//2 is obtained only when sin(x)/x pulse is used to generate the PCM waveform.
For PCM waveform generated by rectangular pulses, the First-null Bandwidth is:
Bpcm = R = nfs

Noise in PCM Systems
Two main effects produce the noise or distortion in the PCM output: – Quantizing noise that is caused by the M-step quantizer at the PCM transmitter.
– Bit errors in the recovered PCM signal, caused by channel noise and improper
filtering.
• If the input analog signal is band limited and sampled fast enough so that the
aliasing noise on the recovered signal is negligible, the ratio of the recovered
analog peak signal power to the total average noise power is:
46 EKT358 – Communication System
Dr. Muzammil Bin Jusoh

• The ratio of the average signal power to the average noise power is
– M is the number of quantized levels used in the PCM system.
– Pe is the probability of bit error in the recovered binary PCM signal at the
receiver DAC before it is converted back into an analog signal.
47
EKT358 – Communication System
Dr. Muzammil Bin Jusoh
Effects of Quantizing Noise
• If Pe is negligible, there are no bit errors resulting from channel noise and no ISI, the Peak SNR resulting from only quantizing error is:
• The Average SNR due to quantizing errors is:
• Above equations can be expresses in decibels as,

Where, M = 2n
α = 4.77 for peak SNR
α = 0 for average SNR
Virtues & Limitation of PCM
The most important advantages of PCM
are: – Robustness to channel noise and
interference.
– Efficient regeneration of the coded signal
along the channel path.
– Efficient exchange between BT and SNR.
– Uniform format for different kind of base-
band signals.
– Flexible TDM.

Dr. Muzammil Bin Jusoh
Cont’d… – Secure communication through the use of
special modulation schemes of encryption.
– These advantages are obtained at the cost of more complexity and increased BT.
– With cost-effective implementations, the cost issue no longer a problem of concern.
– With the availability of wide-band communication channels and the use of sophisticated data compression techniques, the large bandwidth is not a serious problem.

Application: PCM in Wired Telephony
• Voice circuit bandwidth is 3400 Hz.
• Sampling rate is 8 KHz (samples are 125 s apart) above Nyquist rate,
6.8KHz to avoid unrealizable filters required for signal reconstruction.
• Each sample is quantized to one of 256 levels (n=8).
• The 8-bit words are transmitted serially (one bit at a time) over a digital
transmission channel. The bit rate is 8x8,000 = 64 Kb/s.
• The bits are regenerated at digital repeaters.The received words are
decoded back to quantized samples, and filtered to reconstruct the analog
