A technique used by codecs to convert an analog signal into a digital bit stream is known as

  • A.Pulse code modulation
  • B.Pulse stretcher
  • C.Query processing
  • D.Queue management

Answer: A

Correct answer: Pulse code modulation

PCM converts an analogue waveform to digital in three steps: the signal is sampled at a fixed rate, each sample is quantised to the nearest of a set of levels, and the level is written as a binary number. Sampling above twice the highest frequency present - the Nyquist rate - allows the original to be reconstructed; telephone speech is sampled at 8 kHz with 8 bits, giving 64 kbps.
