Comparing Delta Modulation (DM) with PCM system: DM requires 

A. Lower Sampling Rate 

B. Higher Sampling Rate 

C. Large Bandwidth 

D. Simpler Hardware 

E. Complex Hardware 

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is
B, C and D only

To compare Delta Modulation (DM) with a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) system, let's analyze each aspect mentioned in the options:

  1. Sampling Rate:
    • Delta Modulation (DM) requires a higher sampling rate than PCM. This is because DM operates on the principle of approximating the derivative of the input signal. To ensure that the step size in DM accurately tracks the waveform changes, it needs to sample the signal at a much higher rate. Therefore, the option B, "Higher Sampling Rate," is correct.
  2. Bandwidth:
    • The bandwidth required for Delta Modulation is generally larger compared to PCM for the same quality. This is because the higher sampling rate in DM translates to a wider frequency band. Thus, option C, "Large Bandwidth," is correct.
  3. Hardware Complexity:
    • Delta Modulation has simpler hardware requirements compared to PCM. In DM, the signal is represented by a binary sequence of 1's and 0's, making the design simpler and cheaper. The hardware mainly consists of a comparator, integrators, and a digital/analog converter, which are simpler than those required for PCM. Hence, option D, "Simpler Hardware," is correct.

Based on the analysis above, the correct answer is the combination of options B, C, and D. This choice encompasses the requirement for higher sampling rate, larger bandwidth, and simpler hardware that characterize Delta Modulation compared to PCM systems.
