Aegis School of Telecommunication www.aegisedu.org/telecomsystemsI.htm Digital Voice Communication For good representation, must sample amplitude at a rate of at least twice the maximum frequency Measured in samples per second, or smp/sec Telephone quality: 8000smp/sec, each sample using 8 bits 8 bits * 8000smp/sec = 64kbps to transmit CD audio quality: 44000smp/sec, each sample using 16 bits 16 bits * 44000smp/sec = 1.41mbps to transmit clearly
