PCM

Pulse-code modulation (PCM) is a digital representation of an analog FM signal where the magnitude of the signal is sampled regularly at uniform intervals, then quantized to a series of symbols in a digital (usually binary) code. PCM hides small amounts of interference, which helps prevent unexpected aircraft movements during transient interference. However, small RFI issues may go unnoticed until they become significant.
