DIGITAL TRANSMISSION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is a technique of analog-to-digital conversion.
A
Pulse code modulation
B
Pulse mode coding
C
line coding
D
scrambling
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pulse code modulation (PCM) [13] is a digital scheme for transmitting analog data. It converts an analog signal into digital form. Using PCM, it is possible to digitize all forms of analog data, including full-motion video, voice, music, telemetry, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -A digital technique that involves sampling an analog signal at regular intervals and coding the measured amplitude into a series of binary values, which are transmitted by modulation of a pulsed, or intermittent, carrier. It is the standard technique in telecommunications transmission.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pulse Code Modulation techniques are used to produce a series of numbers or digits in binary form. Hence this process is called digital modulation. The amplitude at that particular time of the signal sample is indicated by the binary codes. In the PCM process, a sequence of coded pulses indicates the message signal.
