Compansion system

摘要

An improved compansion system that more effectively increases the dynamic range of other circuit elements. The system includes both a compression circuit to limit the input signal amplitude for a circuit element, such as a filter, and an expansion circuit to receive and modify the output of the circuit element. The expansion circuit restores a substantially linear input-output amplitude relationship and may prevent substantial overloading in the circuit element, thereby increasing the dynamic range of the circuit element.
