What Does PCM Stand For?
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) is a method used to digitally represent analog signals. It involves sampling the amplitude of an analog signal at uniform intervals and quantizing these samples into a series of coded digital values. PCM is widely utilized in audio, video, and telecommunications systems because of its ability to maintain data integrity and facilitate efficient transmission over various media. Its standardization in digital audio formats has made it a fundamental technique in modern electronic communication.
