PCM
PCM is the most useful and widely used of all the pulse modulations mentioned.
It is basically a tool for converting an analog signal into a digital signal.
Quantizing is a process of rounding off the sampled value of an analog signal to
one of the closest permissible numbers (or quantized levels).

Quantization
The amplitudes of the analog signal lie in the range VH and VL.
It is partitioned into M(=8, in this example) uniform subintervals, each of
magnitude,
S=(VH-VL)/M,
Quantization levels V0,V1,V2-----VM-1.
1.
Vq = V3 if (V3S/2).
2.
Vq = V4 if (V4S/2)
Each sample amplitude is
approximated by the midpoint value
of the sub interval in which the
sample falls.
Each sample is now approximated to
one of the M numbers.
Thus the signal is digitized with
quantized samples taking on any
one of the M values M-ary digital
signal.
