This document discusses sound waves and pulse code modulation (PCM). Sound waves are mechanical vibrations that carry frequencies between 20Hz to 20KHz and are how we communicate verbally. PCM is a technique used to convert analog signals like audio, voice and music into digital data. It involves digitizing the analog signal at the sender and reconverting it back to analog at the receiver, allowing for long distance transmission.

Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) A digital signal is superior to an analog signal. Digital is less prone to noise and distortion. We can’t use analog signals for long distance The tendency today is to change an analog signal (such as audio ,voice and music) to digital data Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is a technique to convert analog data to digital signal
The idea of digitizing analog signal started with telephone companies, to provide long distance services; They digitized the analog signal at the sender; The signal is converted back to analog at the receiver.
