The analog telephone signal must be sampled at a minimum of 8 kHz to be converted to digital using PCM.
What is PCM?
In order to represent sampled analogue signals digitally, one technique is pulse-code modulation (PCM). It serves as the industry standard for digital audio in applications such as digital telephony, compact discs, and computers. In a PCM stream, overall amplitude of the analogue signal is quantized to a nearest value inside a range of digital steps for each regular, uniformly spaced sample. A particular variant of PCM called linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) has linearly uniform quantization levels. In contrast, PCM encodings (such as those using the A-law or -law algorithms) have quantization levels that are dependent on amplitude. PCM is a more broad term, but it's frequently used to refer to data that has been encoded using LPCM.
