Why did digital telephony displace analogue pulse schemes on long routes?

  • A.It needs no synchronisation between the two ends of a link
  • B.Regeneration stops noise accumulating with distance
  • C.Its bandwidth requirement is lower per voice channel
  • D.Its coders and decoders are cheaper than analogue ones

Answer: B

On a long route the decisive property is that each regenerator rebuilds the pulses cleanly, so noise does not accumulate hop by hop - an analogue pulse train degrades steadily with every amplifier. Digital coding needs more bandwidth rather than less, its coders were initially dearer, and it demands far more synchronisation. A scheme can win decisively on one property while losing on three others, which is why the application has to be named before any comparison is meaningful.
