A signal transmitting system including an A-D converter for converting an analog input signal to a digital signal and a D-A converter for re-converting the digital signal to an analog output signal is provided with improved fidelity without increasing the number of digital levels and digital bits in the A-D and D-A converters. In such signal transmitting system, the analog input signal is applied to a plurality of voltage level comparators for comparison therein with respective reference voltages which sequentially differ from each other by predetermined voltage increments, the levels of the reference voltages are periodically varied by means of a switching signal, outputs from the level comparators are applied to an encoder which produces a corresponding digital signal, a decoder receives the digital signal and reconverts the latter to an analog signal, and the analog signal from the decoder is added to a switching signal which may be the first mentioned switching signal, or at least has the same period as the latter, to provide a resulting analog output signal which relatively closely corresponds to the analog input signal. |
