Which pulse scheme is the natural precursor of pulse code modulation?

  • A.Pulse amplitude modulation
  • B.Pulse width modulation
  • C.Pulse position modulation
  • D.Delta modulation

Answer: A

Amplitude modulation comes first, because coding begins by taking amplitude samples and then quantising them; the width and position schemes encode into other parameters and lead nowhere digital. Delta modulation is an alternative digital scheme rather than a precursor. Tracing which analogue scheme a digital one grew out of explains why sample-and-hold circuits sit at the front of every coder.
