The effect of digital errors in linear pulse code modulation (PCM) systems has been considered by several authors for channels with independent errors. In this paper we present a general approach of analyzing digital errors in linear and nonlinear PCM systems with arbitrary channels. The examples given in this paper cover the different standard nonlinear PCM systems and independent channel errors. The technique used for the analysis leads to the conclusion that there are PCM codes less sensitive to digital errors than the standard binary folded PCM code. An example of such a PCM code is given in this paper.
