  Cisco - Waveform Coding Techniques
Quantization noise is equivalent to the random noise that impacts the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a voice signal.
The difference between the input signal amplitude height and the quantization interval decreases as the quantization intervals are increased (increases in the intervals decrease the quantization noise).
After quantizing and coding, the difference signal is transmitted to its final destination.

Pulse width modulation is a form of pulse modulation in which the width (duration) of the pulses is the characteristic that is varied.
Pulse position, frequency, phase or spacing modulation are forms of pulse modulation where the characteristics being varied are the relative positions of the pulses, the frequency (repetition rate) of the pulses, the phase of the pulses, or the spacing (time) between the pulses.

 Digital modulation
As these pulses are required to be transmitted during the sampling interval allotted for the channel, narrow pulse-widths are used for PCM with resultant increase in the bandwidth.
We assume that the noise on the channel never causes a pulse to be lost or misinterpreted by the receiver.
We would, therefore, consider only the source of noise to be due to the original quantization of the signal which causes the receiver output to have error due to this noise component.

 Facts about RC transmitters
Noise of this type has amplitude, which is another way of saying it has a voltage value, and will react with an AM receiver more than an FM receiver.
With analog pulse modulation, some characteristic of the pulse such as height or width will be changed in proportion to the original signal.
Pulse coded modulation is a form of digital pulse modulation and is the major type of digital modulation in use today.

Pulse code modulation is an extension of Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM), in which a sampled signal consists of a train of pulses where each pulse corresponds to the amplitude of the signal at the corresponding sampling time (the signal is modulated in amplitude).
Pulse code modulation is the most frequently used analogue-to-digital conversion technique, and is defined in the ITU-T G.711 specification.
Quantization noise can be reduced by increasing the number of quantization intervals, because the difference between the input signal amplitude and the quantization interval decreases as the number of quantization intervals increases.

 Low-pass filter
Because the average value of the pulse train varies in accordance with the modulation, the intelligence may be extracted by passing the width-modulated pulses through a low-pass filter.
Because the ppm pulses are constantly varying in position with reference to the unmodulated pulses, the output of the flip-flop also varies in duration or width.
Pulse-code modulation can easily be decoded, provided the pulse-code groups have been transmitted in reverse order; that is, if the pulse with the lowest value is transmitted first, the pulse with the highest value is transmitted last.

 Digital Dharma of Audio A/D Converters
Using very clever complex algorithms and circuit tricks, noise shaping contours the noise so that it is reduced in the audible regions and increased in the inaudible regions.
Conservation still holds, the total noise is the same, but the amount of noise present in the audio band is decreased while simultaneously increasing the noise out-of-band -- then the digital filter eliminates it.
The analog modulator is the 1-bit converter discussed previously with the change of integrating the analog signal before performing the delta modulation.

When "amplitude modulation sidebands" are shown, for instance, it's for the rather limited case of modulation by an unchanging signal.
Pseudo Random Noise Modulation -- we should be calling it this, but PRNG is easier to pronounce -- is only one of a number of systems using correlation, which is the magic word these days.
This noise problem is the main reason why ordinary radars with any sort of respectable range must transmit such tremendous peak powers in their pulses.

Frequency modulation, such as analog cell phones use, provides better sound but it needs more bandwidth to achieve that quality and is technically more complex to produce.
Amplitude modulation means a carrier wave is modulated in proportion to the strength of a signal.

 Adaptive Rate Delta Modulation for Non
The receiver for such a modulation is reduced to simple pulse detection and a counter to recreate the original signal.
A “positive” pulse reception causes the estimate of the signal to be incremented while a “negative” pulse results in a decrement of the estimate.
Second, since the AR-DM does not produce pulses when there is no input, the quantization noise from a non-speaking user is removed from the receiver’s input (unlike standard DM which continues to transmit pulses when the input is constant).

 Sweetwater inSync
The maximum signal to noise ratio (which in many schools of thought is equivalent to dynamic range) of a given piece of equipment can be an important thing to know.
While signal to noise ratio is often used as a specification to characterize relative quality differences in equipment, the way in which measurements must be done, and the degree to which they can differ, makes the true objectivity of such measurements highly suspect.
This is a very unambiguous value in linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) systems, but in other types of PCM systems the quantization noise (or quantization error) depends strongly on the level of the audio being recorded so it is very difficult to nail down the actual signal to noise ratio.

 Telemetry Tutorial - Modulation
Modulation is the technique where the value of each sample (i.e., the modulating signal) systematically changes the characteristics of a carrier signal (e.g., amplitude (height) or frequency (timing)).
Since amplitudes are degraded by noise, the multiplexed data stream is usually converted to a constant-amplitude pulse modulation scheme.
The distance between the two pulses represents the sampled amplitude of the sine wave, with the first pulse as the zero time reference.

Differential pulse-code modulation is a technique in which the derivative of the signal is quantized.
The quantizer generates a positive pulse when the difference signal is negative, and a negative pulse when the difference signal is positive.
Although it can be noted that the quantization only adds noise to the quantized signal and the quality depends on the distribution of this noise in the audio frequency band.

The equivalent PM modulator to obtain the same waveform as FM is the integral of the FM modulator.
Another reason PM is better is that the modulation index (which determines the number of sidebands produced and which in normal FM is calculated as the modulator amplitude divided by frequency of modulator) is not dependant on the frequency of the modulator, it is always equal to the amplitude of the modulator in radians.

 Narrow band morse code with coherent detection.
One of the reasons why narrow band is not commonly used is that the final detection of the signal is still usually performed by a human ear at an intermediate audio frequency around 750 Hz; the received signal never returns to a copy of the digital keying waveform that originated the transmission.
It is infeasible to implement narrow band filters at radio frequencies but fortunately an equivalent is to low pass filter at baseband prior to modulation provided that the modulation and the RF amplification are linear.
Note that it is not enough to set the modulation depth using a continuous keydown since a filtered keying signal may overshoot the steady state value (and must not be clipped).

This differential drive technique increases the lifetime of the modulator by maintaining a zero mean voltage across its terminals.

 NTIA - UWB Test Plan Comments by Zircon
To measure noise, particularly pseudo-noise or so-called pink noise, a wide bandwidth must be incorporated, not a narrow one.
But if a narrow bandwidth were used, the individual spectral lines associated with the repetition length of the code generator could be observed and would appear as single frequency 'bright lines', absolutely the opposite of noise.
UWB spectra appear similar to noise whenever the relative spacing of the signals is small compared to the bandwidth of the receiving system, so that multiple frequencies can be simultaneously received within that bandwidth.

 Evaluating upstream modulation techniques - 10/1/1998 - CED - CA6261363   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
White Gaussian noise is the thermal background noise present in all electrical transmitting media.
For all modulation systems under consideration, the signal/noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver's decision point is equivalent in the presence of White Gaussian noise.
However, if the bandwidth of the noise is small relative to the signal (the typical situation), a decision feedback noise-prediction method at the receiver can be an effective answer.

 Improving the CD
In order to reduce this noise considerably, the analog representation of the signal can be replaced by a digital one.
In order to convert an analog signal into a digital equivalent, we need to sample (or measure) the voltage level at a regular rate called the sampling rate (equivalent to the frame rate in film).
The result of this quantization error is noise which, if not taken care of, can interfere with very quiet signals in the recording.

In digital audio recording, sound is recorded as 0 and 1 after it is converted in pulse codes.
The digital audio code (a series of "off or on" signals) is recorded by the drum, on a part of the tape that is separate from the video information.
This increase in accuracy is equivalent to cutting noise and distortion by 6 dB; so you can roughly gauge a digital system’s dynamic range by multiplying its digits, or bits, by six.
