If the steps of the quantizer are equal, then the quantizer is said to be
uniform.
Since the quantizer approximates the actual analog waveform with a
finite number of levels, quantization noise will be introduced.
Encoding
In this step, to each of the quantized PAM signal sample, a digital word
is assigned. The digital word can be binary as well as nonbinary.
Bandwidth of PCM signals
For PAM signaling, the spectrum was obtained as a function of the
spectrum of the original signal since PAM signaling is a linear function of
the analog signal.
This is not true for PCM. PCM is a nonlinear function of the input analog
signal and its spectrum is not directly related to the spectrum of the

Look at Table 3.2 for bandwidth of PCM signals with various parameters.
It should be noted that the bandwidth of the PCM signal is much wider
than the bandwidth of the original signal.
In fact, the lower bound on the bandwidth of the PCM signal is given by

Effects of Noise
The analog signal that is recovered at the PCM system output is corrupted
by noise. Two main effects cause this noise:
Quantization Noise
Overload noise
Random noise
Granular noise
Hunting noise
Bit Errors in the recovered PCM signal
channel noise
improper channel filtering.

The signal-to-noise ratios of the recovered analog peak and average signal
power to the total average noise power is given by

Pe is the probability of bit error in the recovered binary PCM signal at the
receiver before it is converted back into an analog signal.
