  2. 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 .

  3. Modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulation

    A modulator is a device or circuit that performs modulation. A demodulator (sometimes detector) is a circuit that performs demodulation, the inverse of modulation. A modem (from modulator–demodulator), used in bidirectional communication, can perform both operations.

  4. Pulse-code modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation

    Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a method used to digitally represent analog signals. It is the standard form of digital audio in computers, compact discs , digital telephony and other digital audio applications.

  5. Demodulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demodulation

    Demodulation is the process of extracting the original information-bearing signal from a carrier wave. A demodulator is an electronic circuit (or computer program in a software-defined radio) that is used to recover the information content from the modulated carrier wave. [1] There are many types of modulation, and

  6. Constellation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_diagram

    A 'signal space diagram' is an ideal constellation diagram showing the correct position of the point representing each symbol. After passing through a communication channel, due to electronic noise or distortion added to the signal, the amplitude and phase received by the demodulator may differ from the correct value for the symbol. When ...

  7. Delta modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_modulation

    DM is the simplest form of differential pulse-code modulation (DPCM) where the difference between successive samples is encoded into n-bit data streams. In delta modulation, the transmitted data are reduced to a 1-bit data stream representing either up (↗) or down (↘). Its main features are:

  8. 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 ...

  9. Adaptive differential pulse-code modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_differential...

    Adaptive differential pulse-code modulation (ADPCM) is a variant of differential pulse-code modulation (DPCM) that varies the size of the quantization step, to allow further reduction of the required data bandwidth for a given signal-to-noise ratio.
