  2. Pulse-code modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation

    The word pulse in the term pulse-code modulation refers to the pulses to be found in the transmission line. This perhaps is a natural consequence of this technique having evolved alongside two analog methods, pulse-width modulation and pulse-position modulation , in which the information to be encoded is represented by discrete signal pulses of ...

  3. Lloyd's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd's_algorithm

    The algorithm was first proposed by Stuart P. Lloyd of Bell Labs in 1957 as a technique for pulse-code modulation. Lloyd's work became widely circulated but remained unpublished until 1982. [ 1 ] A similar algorithm was developed independently by Joel Max and published in 1960, [ 3 ] which is why the algorithm is sometimes referred as the Lloyd ...

  4. Non-return-to-zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-return-to-zero

    The binary signal is encoded using rectangular pulse-amplitude modulation with polar NRZ(L), or polar non-return-to-zero-level code. In telecommunications, a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) line code is a binary code in which ones are represented by one significant condition, usually a positive voltage, while zeros are represented by some other significant condition, usually a negative voltage, with ...

  5. Triangular function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_function

    Triangular functions are useful in signal processing and communication systems engineering as representations of idealized signals, and the triangular function specifically as an integral transform kernel function from which more realistic signals can be derived, for example in kernel density estimation.

  6. Signal-to-quantization-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-quantization...

    Signal-to-quantization-noise ratio (SQNR or SN q R) is widely used quality measure in analysing digitizing schemes such as pulse-code modulation (PCM).

  7. Differential pulse-code modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulse-code...

    Differential pulse-code modulation (DPCM) is a signal encoder that uses the baseline of pulse-code modulation (PCM) but adds some functionalities based on the prediction of the samples of the signal. The input can be an analog signal or a digital signal .

  8. Pulse compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_compression

    Two echoes (in blue) come back with delays of 3 and 5 seconds and amplitudes equal to 0.5 and 0.3 times the amplitude of the transmitted pulse, respectively; these are just random values for the sake of the example. Since the signal is real, the intercorrelation is weighted by an additional 1 ⁄ 2 factor.

  9. Pulse-density modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-density_modulation

    Pulse-density modulation, or PDM, is a form of modulation used to represent an analog signal with a binary signal.In a PDM signal, specific amplitude values are not encoded into codewords of pulses of different weight as they would be in pulse-code modulation (PCM); rather, the relative density of the pulses corresponds to the analog signal's amplitude.
