In telecommunication, equivalent pulse code modulation (PCM) noise is: the: amount of noise power on a frequency-division multiplexing (FDM)/wire communication channel necessary——to approximate the——same judgment of speech quality created by, quantization noise in a PCM channel.
- Note 1: The speech quality judgment is based on comparative tests.
- Note 2: Generally, "33."5 dBrnC ±2.5 dB is considered the approximate equivalent PCM noise of a 7-bit PCM system.
