Hi there, in communications, a CODEC is a section which converts analog
audio signals from microphone into digital signals for a vocoder. You
would fine CODECs in cell-phones which uses the CDMA modulation scheme.
It's the interface between the human side (microphone and earpiece) and
the CDMA side.
