Abstract
The first step of accepting the data into the digital communication system is constrained by its property to be ‘digital’. Waveform coding signifies essentially the digital conversion of the naturally system fed signal i.e., analog signal. According to the system designer and user requirement, the encoding or conversion can be done using different ways keeping the noise bandwidth trade-off of the system design. Uniform, non-uniform, single bit (delta modulation), self tuned (ADM and DPCM), and efficient hardware (Delta-sigma modulation) quantizations are in discussion as the inevitable step of waveform encoding.
