Discrete-continuous companding for a digital transmission system

TLDR
In this article, a delta modulation transmission system is described in which the message signal is effectively compressed at the transmitter and, effectively, complementarily expanded at the receiver, and the transmitter includes a variable size step pulse generator to provide pseudocompression.
Abstract
A delta modulation transmission system is disclosed in which the message signal is, effectively, compressed at the transmitter and, effectively, complementarily expanded at the receiver. The transmitter includes a variable size step pulse generator to provide the pseudocompression and means are provided to vary the magnitude of the step pulse discretely over a part of the dynamic range of the message signal and continuously over another part of the dynamic range of the message signal.

A-D encoder and D-A decoder system

TL;DR: In this article, an encoder converts an analog input signal to a digital signal by introducing a time delay to the input signal, so that the delayed input signal reaches the converter when the control signal is available for digital encoding.

Feedback residue compression for digital speech systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a digital speech compression system using a predictive feedback loop is described, which consists of a first adder into which the digital signal is fed followed by a quantizer and a compression logic.

Sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter

TL;DR: In this article, the gain error caused by a return-to-zero switch in the feedback branch is cancelled by moving the return to zero switch (20) to the signal error branch.

Adaptive digital delta modulation for voice transmission

TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive delta modulation system was proposed, where the input analog signal is periodically sampled and a binary bit is generated for each period, the logic level of the binary bit being dependent on whether the sampled signal is greater or smaller than the approximate signal of the previous sample.

Non-linear coder

TL;DR: In a nonlinear voltage digitizer, a capacitor is charged to the level of the input voltage and then discharged at a stepwise increasing rate and clock-pulses are counted until the capacitor is discharged as mentioned in this paper.
