Abstract:
In a time-division multiplex delta-modulation communication system, a frame of the multiplexed signal is composed of a plurality of subframes larger in number than the multiplexed transmission channels by at least one and defined by control bits, one of which is allotted to frame synchronization and the remainder of which are allotted to channel monitoring and the like. A respective one of the control bits is transmitted every frame period while the respective channel information is transmitted every subframe period.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a code conversion system for converting, in the digital phase, a prediction type first code to a lower frequency, prediction type second code approximating the information content of the first code. In a first embodiment, an input delta modulation code is converted to a lower frequency output delta modulation code, while in a second embodiment, an input delta modulation code is converted to a lower frequency companding delta modulation code.
Abstract:
A digital communication system reduces the transmission speed required to propagate signals resulting from a unity bit per sample coding process, e.g., delta modulation or delta-sigma modulation. The modulation wave pulses produced during cyclically recurring code converting intervals are counted and the count state transmitted rather than the modulation signal per se, thereby reducing the signal rate impressed on the communication channel. An inverse procedure is employed for signal recovery.
