1. Sample the analog signal regularly 2. Quantize the sample 3. Encode the value into a binary expression 4. Compress the samples to reduce bandwidth (multiplexing), optional step

Quantization Techniques
• Linear
Uniform quantization

• Logarithmic quantization
Compands the signal Provides a more uniform signal-to-noise ratio

• Two methods
α-law (most countries) μ-law (Canada, U.S., and Japan)

Example: Waveform Compression
• PCM
Waveform coding scheme

• ADPCM
Waveform coding scheme Adaptive: automatic companding Differential: encode changes between samplesonly

• ITU standards:
G.711 rate: 64 kbps = (2 x 4 kHz) x 8 bits/sample G.726 rate: 32 kbps = (2 x 4 kHz) x 4 bits/sample G.726 rate: 24 kbps = (2 x 4 kHz) x 3 bits/sample G.726 rate: 16 kbps = (2 x 4 kHz) x 2 bits/sample

Example: Source Compression
• CELP
Hybrid coding scheme

• High-quality voice at lowbit rates, processor intensive • G.728: LDCELP—16 kbps • G.729: CS-ACELP—8 kbps
G.729A variant—8 kbps, less processor intensive, allows more voice channels encoded per DSP Annex-B variant –VAD and CNG

G.729 and G.729A Comparison
• Both are ITU standards • Both are 8 kbps CS-ACELP • G.729 more complex...
