Idle channel noise *Coding noise measured at the rx output with zero tx input. E.g. . Silences in speech 0????2??? Which type of Quantizer is suitable for this state.Non Uniform Quantizer Able to reduce the quantization noise power for low amplitude signals, the average SNR improved . Step size can be made smaller for smaller signals and larger for larger signals . Its difficult to implement. Practical approach — Predistort the signals by compression characteristics and put in to uniform quantizer. — COMPANDING ( Compressed and Quantized signal ) — Block diagram (i/p, Compressor , Uniform quantizer and Expander) Two Compression Laws + A-lawand law.Noise in PCM Aliasing Noise Quantization Noise Channel Noise Inter symbol Interference
