- Pulse code modulation - Sampling is done to determine the
Sampling is a way of transmitting characteristic that contains the analog data in digital analog quantity, such as the format. An analog signal’s amplitude. A constantly signal is sampled and varying input must be sampled at a converted to a series much higher frequency than its own of binary bits. to ensure the accuracy of the conversion. - It includes three steps sampling, quanti - Quantization takes the sampled zation and encoding. analog value and converts it to the Quantization In pulse code nearest binary value or quantity. The modulation, amplitude accuracy of a binary quantity is of analog wave is limited to the value of the least sampled at regular significant bit intervals and then converted into digital - The encoding operation reduces the form which is binary 0 result of the conversion to a binary and 1 code acceptable to the digital equipment that use the data - These three steps were all needed when - Sampling: Digitizing the co-ordinate Encoding value is called sampling. transmitting analog data in digital format - Quantization: Digitizing the amplitude value is called quantization.
