Question:

Slope overload distortion occurs in ________.

Show Hint

Slope overload in Delta Modulation occurs due to small step size. Adaptive Delta Modulation helps by varying the step size.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

What is Delta Modulation (DM):
DM encodes the difference between successive signal values.
Only one bit is used per sample to indicate increase or decrease.
What is Slope Overload Distortion:
When input signal changes faster than the system can follow.
Occurs when step size in DM is too small for steep signal slopes.
Result: DM cannot catch up, causing large distortion.
Preventing it:
Use Adaptive Delta Modulation (ADM).
Increase step size during fast signal transitions.
