DATA AND PULSE COMMUNICATION



1.What is PAM?
            PAM is the pulse modulation. In PAM the amplitude of a carrier consisting of a periodic train of rectangular pulse is varied in proportion to sample values of a message signal.
2.What is PCM?
            PCM is a process used to convert analog signal to digital data. In PCM ,the analog signal is first sampled then quantized then each sample is replaced with n bits binary data.
3.What do you mean by nonlinear encoding in PCM system?
            Nonlinear encoding is a technique used to increase the performance of PCM system. In nonlinear encoding the quantization levels are not equaled spaced. That is greater number of quantization levels for signals of low amplitude and smaller number of quantization levels for signals of high amplitude.
4.What is called processing gain?
            Processing gain is defined as the ratio of the bandwidth of spread message signal to the bandwidth of unspreaded data signal.
5.What is meant by PCM?
                        PCM is a method of signal coding in which the message signal is sampled, the amplitude of each sample is rounded off to the nearest one of a finite set of discrete levels and encoded so that both time and amplitude are represent in discrete form.

6.Define quantization error.
            It is the difference between the output and input values of quantizer.
7.Define quantization process.
            The conversion of analog sample of the signal into digital form is called quantization process.
8.Define PPM.
            The position of a constant width pulse with in a time slot is varied according to the amplitude of the sample of the analog signal.
9.Define PWM.
            The width of a constant amplitude pulse is varied proportional to the amplitude of the analog signal at the time the signal is sampled.
10.State the advantage of angle modulation over amplitude modulation?
            -Noise impurity
            -Noise performance
            -Signal to noise improvement
