英文原文 Pulse-code modulation Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a digital representation of an analog signal where the magnitude of the signal is sampled regularly at uniform intervals ， then quantized to a series of symbols in a numeric (usually binary) code ．PCM has been used in digital telephone systems and 1980s-era electronic musical keyboards ．It is also the standard form for digital audio in computers and the compact disc red book format ．It is also standard in digital video ，for example ， using ITU-R BT ．601 ．Uncompressed PCM is not typically used for video in standard definition consumer applications such as DVD or DVR because the bit rate required is far too high ． Modulation In the diagram ，a sine wave (red curve) is sampled and quantized for pulse code modulation ．The sine wave is sampled at regular intervals ，shown as ticks on the x-axis ．For each sample ，one of th availabl values (ticks on th y-axis) is chosen by som algorithm (in this cas ，th floor function is used) ．This produces a fully discrete representation of the input signal (shaded area) that can b easily encoded as digital data for storag or manipulation ．For th sin wav exampl at right ，w can verify that the quantized values at the sampling moments are 7 ，9，11，12， 13，14，14，15，15，15，14，etc ． Encoding these values as binary numbers would result in th following set of nibbles:0111 ，1001，1011，1100，1101，1110 ，1110， 1111，1111，1111 ，1110，etc ．Thes digital values could then b further processed or analyzed by a purpose-specific digital signal processor or general purpose CPU ．Several Pulse Code Modulation streams could also b multiplexed into a larger aggregat data stream ，generally for transmission of multipl streams over a singl physical link ．On techniqu is called time-division multiplexing ， or TDM ，and
