- Subclass:
- CODING, DECODING OR CODE CONVERSION, IN GENERAL
Description
H03M covers the design and implementation of electronic circuits and devices for encoding, decoding, and converting information between different coding schemes and signal formats. This includes analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), error-correcting code circuits, modulation and demodulation circuits, and general data conversion systems. The subclass addresses the physical circuitry and hardware implementations rather than the mathematical algorithms or software aspects of coding theory. Related signal processing and transmission topics are handled in adjacent classes such as H04L (digital information transmission) and G06F (digital computing).
