What is quantization in Pulse Code Modulation?
Quantization is the method of encoding data into binary format in PCM.
Quantization refers to the sampling of frequency in PCM.
Quantization is the process of converting continuous amplitude values into discrete levels in PCM.
Quantization is the process of increasing the amplitude values in PCM.
State the Nyquist Sampling Theorem and its significance in PCM.
The Nyquist Sampling Theorem states that the sampling frequency must be at least twice the highest frequency of the signal.
The Nyquist Sampling Theorem states that the sampling frequency can be any value.
The Nyquist Sampling Theorem applies only to analog signals.
The Nyquist Sampling Theorem requires a sampling frequency of at least three times the highest frequency.
How does oversampling affect the quality of PCM signals?
Oversampling improves the quality of PCM signals by reducing quantization noise and enhancing signal reconstruction.
Oversampling decreases the quality of PCM signals by increasing quantization noise.
Oversampling has no effect on the quality of PCM signals.
Oversampling only affects the bandwidth of PCM signals.
