MCQ Practice Question

Companding in PCM telephony is mainly used to?

  • AImprove effective quantization performance for low-level signals
  • BEliminate sampling completely
  • CIncrease antenna height
  • DSuppress every binary zero
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Improve effective quantization performance for low-level signals
Explanation: Nonuniform quantization implemented through companding gives finer effective resolution to weaker signals and improves their quantization SNR.
