Quantization methods: Uniform and companding methods; vocoders; signal – to – quantization noise ratio. Delta modulation (DM) and adaptive delta modulation (ADM) principles and analysis. Coding methods. Information entropy and information capacity, bits, bit rate and the baud. Pulse transmission, intersymbol interference and the eye pattern. • 3. Digital Modulation: M-ary encoding. Amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK) phase shift keying (PSK) quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and differential phase shift keying (DPSK). Signal recovery in ASK, FSK, & PSK. Probability of error and bit error rate. Spread spectrum. Design aspects of radio links. Measurements performed on digital radio systems.
