What Does PCM Stand For?
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulator
PCM, or Pulse Code Modulator, is a method used to digitally represent analog signals. It involves sampling the amplitude of an analog signal at regular intervals and quantizing the sample values into discrete pulses. This process allows for accurate transmission and storage of audio and other time-varying signals by converting them into a binary format, enabling efficient processing and reproduction in digital systems. PCM is widely utilized in telecommunications, audio recording, and digital signal processing.
