separate noise from a digital signal.

21. • Can withstand channel noise and distortion much better as long
as the noise and the distortion are within limits.
• Regenerative repeaters prevent accumulation of noise along the
path.
• Digital hardware implementation is flexible.
• Digital signals can be coded to yield extremely low error rates,
high fidelity and well as privacy.
• Digital communication is inherently more efficient than analog in
realizing the exchange of SNR for bandwidth.
• It is easier and more efficient to multiplex several digital signals.
A.S.Rao
22. • Digital signal storage is relatively easy and inexpensive.
• Reproduction with digital messages is extremely reliable without
deterioration.
• The cost of digital hardware continues to halve every two or
three years, while performance or capacity doubles over the
same time period.
Disadvantages
• TDM digital transmission is not compatible with the FDM
• A Digital system requires large bandwidth.

29. Many signals such as speech have a nonuniform distribution.
– The amplitude is more likely to be close to zero than to be at higher levels.

31. Companding in PCM
•Non-uniform quantizers are expensive and difficult to make.
•An alternative is to first pass the speech signal through a non
linearity before quantizing with a uniform quantizer.
•The non linearity causes the signal amplitude to be compressed. So
the input to the quantizer will have a more uniform distribution.
•At the receiver, the signal is expanded by an inverse to the
nonlinearity.
•The process of compressing and expanding is called Companding.

39. •PCM is powerful, but quite complex coders and decoders are
required.
•An increase in resolution also requires a higher number of bits per
sample.
•The Delta Modulation is the most economical form of Digital
Communication System since it requires only one bit per sample
(either low pulse or high pulse) transmitted through the line.
•Delta Modulation uses a single-bit PCM code to achieve digital
transmission of analog signals.
•Normally Sampled at high rate.
A.S.Rao
40.
When the step is decreased, ‘0’ is transmitted and if it
is increased, ‘1’ is transmitted.
Delta Modulation: Unique Features
1. No need for Word Framing because of one-bit code word.
2. Simple design for both Transmitter and Receiver.

•Slope over load error
•Granular error (or) Hunting
A.S.Rao
43. Slope overload - when the analog input signal changes at a faster
rate than the DAC can maintain. The slope of the analog signal is
greater than the delta modulator can maintain and is called slope
overload.
Granular noise - It can be seen that when the original analog input
signal has a relatively constant amplitude, the reconstructed signal
has variations that were not present in the original signal. This is
called granular noise. Granular noise in delta modulation is
analogous to quantization noise in conventional PCM.

46. M- ary Signaling
Multiple Signal Levels:
Why use multiple signal levels?
We can represent two levels with a single bit, 0 or 1.
We can represent four levels with two bits: 00, 01, 10, 11.
We can represent eight levels with three bits: 000, 001,
010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111
Note that the number of levels is always a power of 2.

Bit rate is the number of bits per second. Baud rate is the number of
signal units (symbols) per second. Baud rate is less than or equal to
the bit rate.

The ultimate task of a receiver is detection, i.e. deciding between

Hartley Shannon has shown that
“If the rate of information from a source does not exceed
the capacity of a given communication channel, then there exists
a coding technique such that the information can be transmitted
over the channel with arbitrary small frequency errors, despite
the presence of noise.”
Information theory deals with the following three basic concepts:
•The measure of source information
•The information capacity of a channel
•Coding A.S.Rao
71. Information Sources:
•Analog Information Source
•Discrete Information Source
Information Measure
Consider two Messages
A Dog Bites a Man High probability Less information
A Man Bites a Dog Less probability High Information
Information α (1/Probability of Occurrence)
The basic principle involved in determining the information
content of a message is that “the information content of a
message increases with its uncertainty”
A.S.Rao
72. Let I(mK) the information content in the Kth message.
I ( mk ) 0 for PK 1
