Lecture 11 & 12 - PCM Waveforms

This document discusses Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) waveforms. It describes several common PCM waveforms including: 1. Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) which includes NRZ-Level, NRZ-Mark, and NRZ-Space. 2. Return to Zero (RZ) which includes Unipolar RZ, Bipolar RZ, and RZ-Alternate Mark Inversion. 3. Bi-phase including Bi-phase Level, Bi-phase Mark, and Bi-phase Space. It also covers parameters of PCM waveforms such as DC component elimination, error detection, bandwidth compression, and noise immunity.
