Pulse Code Modulation and Demodulation

303 views (last 30 days)
I have written a code to do Pulse Code Modulation but I am unable to retrieve the message signal back. Can someone please help me write demodulation code.
Here is what I have written for modulation
time = 0:0.0001:20;
const = input('Enter Bit Depth of PCM Coding:');
part = -1:0.1:1;
codebook = -1:0.1:1.1;
msg = sin(time);
[indx,quants] = quantiz(msg,part,codebook);
subplot(3,1,1);
plot(time,msg);
title('Message Signal');
subplot(3,1,2);
plot(time,quants);
title('Quantized Signal');
y = uencode(quants,const);
ybin = dec2bin(y,const);
subplot(3,1,3);
plot(time,y);
title('PCM PLOT');
How can I convert back the modulated signal to original.

% Define the analog signal
t = 0:0.001:1; % Time vector from 0 to 1 second
Analog_Signal = sin(2*pi*5*t); % Example analog signal (sine wave)
% PCM parameters
bit_depth = 8; % Number of bits for quantization
quantization_levels = 2^bit_depth; % Total quantization levels
% Quantization
Quantized_Signal = round((Analog_Signal + 1) * (quantization_levels - 1) / 2);
% Demodulation
Demodulated_Signal = (2 * Quantized_Signal) / (quantization_levels - 1) - 1;
% Encoding PCM
Encoded_PCM = de2bi(Quantized_Signal, bit_depth, 'left-msb');
% Plotting
subplot(4,1,1);
plot(t, Analog_Signal);
title('Analog Signal');
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Amplitude');
subplot(4,1,2);
stairs(t, Quantized_Signal);
title('Quantized Signal');
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Amplitude');
subplot(4,1,3);
plot(t, Demodulated_Signal);

subplot(4,1,4);
plot(t, Encoded_PCM);

If the bit depth is reasonably large (say const = 8), then you can get back the uencoded signal with udecode:
newquants = udecode(y, const)
max(abs(quants(:) - newquants(:)))
One other thing about this code is that the quantiz function could be configured better. The "codebook" entry for quantiz provides the values assigned to represent input numbers that fall within each quantization bin. So you probably want to select values that represent the center of the bins, not the endpoints. Note also that the first and last entries represent values that fall outside the total range. So a better setting for "codebook" would be
codebook = [-10, -.95:0.1:.95, 10];
