Performance Limitations of a Practical PCM Terminal
R. H. Shennum, J. R. Gray · Bell System Technical Journal · 1962
This paper discusses the performance of a practical PCM terminal for time-division speech transmission. Limitations which make performance different from more conventional frequency-division systems are considered. Particular emphasis is placed on limitations resulting from nonideal circuits and signal conditions. Both analytical and experimental results are presented with comparisons given where appropriate.
