Analog transmission is not particularly efficient. When the signal-to-noise ratio of an analog signal deteriorates due to attenuation, amplifying the signal also amplifies noise. Digital signals are ...
Equipment is described which has been constructed for converting analogue television signals into 8-bit PCM signals and vice versa. The conversion rate used for video signals is approximately 13 ...
In PCM systems, distortion of very low level signals is known to occur, and in high-quality programme distribution it is the most objectionable signal degradation caused by this kind of system. This ...
The MAX98357A are digital pulse-code modulation (PCM) input Class D power amplifiers that provide Class AB audio performance with Class D efficiency. These ICs offer five selectable gain settings (3 ...
A description is given of experimental equipment constructed to test the feasibility of PCM multiplex transmission of a number of high-quality mono or stereo sound signals. Using currently available ...
Ever notice that the ESP32-S3 doesn’t have a digital-to-analog converter? [Chris] did and asserts that he doesn’t care because he can just use the PDM system to get the same result. PDM — pulse ...
In MIPI Soundwire: Digital Audio Simplified, we mentioned that digital audio formats including Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) and Pulse Density Modulation (PDM) are target applications for MIPI Soundwire ...
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in ...
