 Pulse-code modulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a digital representation of an analog signal where the magnitude of the signal is sampled regularly at uniform intervals, then quantized to a series of symbols in a digital (usually binary) code.
PCM is used in digital telephone systems and is also the standard form for digital audio in computers and various compact disc formats.
PCM was invented by the British engineer Alec Reeves in 1937 while working for the International Telephone and Telegraph in France.

 Compression Algorithms
PCM doesn`t mean any specific kind of compression, it only implies PAM (pulse amplitude modulation) - quantization by amplitude and quantization by time which means digitalization of the analog signal.
In the first example code word was an binary form of quantization level (level: 3 code word: 011 see table: related with first example).
It can be noticed that unlike first example the code word in general is not a binary represented quantization level, positive values of quantization levels are just binary representatives, while negative values are represented binary in different way which corresponds to the encoding process.

 Pulse Code Modulation
Pulse code modulation (to be discussed in depth later) is the heart of technology in communications in today’s digital world.
The stream of pulses and non-pulse streams of 1’s and 0’s are not easily affected by interference and noise.
The analog signal is represented by a series of pulses and non-pulses (1 or 0 respectively).

Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) unity Pulse Code Modulation is the method by which analog transmissions are converted into a digital (or pulse) format to be carried by a digital line or digital switch.
So, if each vertical line in the PAM Signal illustration represents a square pulse, and each space between each line represents a certian fixed time interval, then you can see that after sampling you are left with a number of values that can be converted.
Distortion can occur with square pulse sampling due to the fact that the square pulses are not the most accurate things ever created.

 Cipher apparatus for multiplex pulse code modulation systems - Patent 4365111
In particular the code pulse corresponding to the unit's digit is used to control the generation of the cipher key pulses and since that code pulse varies in an essentially random manner the cipher key changes in a similar manner.
The time or position modulation of the entire array of enciphered pulses which occur in a random manner is somewhat analogous to phase modulation of a carrier current.
This negative pulse applied to the grid of the left-hand section of tube 2312 is amplified and produces a sharp pulse in the plate circuit of this section of tube 2312.

 Cisco - Waveform Coding Techniques
PCM is a type of coding that is called "waveform" coding because it creates a coded form of the original voice waveform.
Both are implemented using eight-bit code words (256 levels, one for each quantization interval).
The numerical assignment of the bit positions in the eight-bit code word to segments and the quantization levels within segments are different.

 ADPCM Codecs
Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) codecs are waveform codecs which instead of quantizing the speech signal directly, like PCM codecs, quantize the difference between the speech signal and a prediction that has been made of the speech signal.
Code for various ADPCM codecs, as well as the G711 A-law and u-law PCM, was released into the public domain by Sun Microsystems, Inc. Its available for FTP here.
Also various patches for this code, including an extension to allow it to operate at 16 kbits/s, are available from the same FTP site.

 Pulse-Code Modulation
The pdm pulses are then used to gate the output of a precision pulse generator that controls the number of pulses applied to a binary counter.
Pulse coding can be performed in a number of ways using conventional circuitry or by means of special cathode ray coding tubes.
Moreover, the pcm signal can be retransmitted, as in a multiple relay link system, as many times as desired, without the introduction of additional noise effects; that is, noise is not cumulative at relay stations as it is with other modulation systems.

 James Mack-Pulse Code Modulation
Firstly, PCM radios send what is known as a "checksum", which adds redundancy to the system by allowing the receiver to check that the data it is receiving is not corrupt.
PCM and PPM are both encoding methods used for FM signals, and PCM is not a totally different transmission method like AM.
Therefore, the PCM signal is affected by the same interference as a PPM signal.

 Pulse Code Modulation
PCM is a Time-Domain Waveform coding method and is defined within CCITT G.711, and ATT 43801.
In both A-Law and Mu-Law PCM, the values used to represent the amplitude is a number between 0 and +/- 127; therefore, 8 bits are required to represent each sample (2 to the eigth power = 256).
Note that the bit pattern for Mu-Law PCM is such that bit two is a zero for all eight bytes.

 Definition: pulse-code modulation
pulse-code modulation (PCM): Modulation in which a signal is sampled, and the magnitude (with respect to a fixed reference) of each sample is quantized and digitized for transmission over a common transmission medium.
Note 2: PCM pulse trains may be interleaved with pulse trains from other channels.
Note 1: In conventional PCM, before being digitized, the analog data may be processed (e.g., compressed), but once digitized, the PCM signal is not subjected to further processing (e.g., digital compaction) before being multiplexed into the aggregate data stream.

 Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)
The ``standard'' number format for sampled audio signals is officially called Pulse Code Modulation (PCM).
This term simply means that each signal sample is interpreted as a ``pulse'' (e.g., a voltage or current pulse) at a particular amplitude which is binary encoded, typically in two's complement binary fixed-point format (discussed below).
When someons says they are giving you a soundfile in ``raw binary format'', they pretty much always mean (nowadays) 16-bit, two's-complement PCM data.
