Wide dynamic range, low power, analog-to-digital receiver

摘要

A low power, wide-dynamic-range, signal compressor is suitable for operation from batteries. The compressor input is compatable with most sensors, resistive, capacitive or inductive and it is capable of compressing 150 db of input dynamic range into a 6 bit digital or 40 db analog signal. The output from the compressor is single valued and satisfactory for driving standard telemetry equipment.
