摘要:
A data compression system comprises an analog-to-digital converter for quantizing the analog signal at a first sampling frequency into a series of digital samples and a memory for storing the digital samples. A control circuit generates a sampling datum indicating a variable sampling frequency lower than the first sampling frequency as a function of the instantaneous frequency of the analog signal for selecting digital samples from the memory, reads the selected digital samples out of the memory means in response to the sampling datum, and forms the sampling datum and the selected digital samples into a data set. A series of data sets may be transmitted to a receiving end of the system or stored in a recording medium. The sampling datum is used to indicate the point at which the digital sample is converted to a corresponding analog value.
摘要:
In a data compression system, a digital signal comprising a series of digital samples and a sampling datum associated with each digital sample is received by a decoder. The sampling datum indicates the sampling interval of the associated digital sample. The decoder includes a microcomputer for storing the digital signal into a memory (M2) and reading each digital sample and the associated sampling datum. The digital sample is divided by the sampling datum to derive a quotient which indicates the slope of the signal to be recovered. The quotient is integrated by an integrator (6b) to provide interpolation between successive sampling points, so that the original signal is approximated by a plurality of line segments.
