Abstract

Abstract A syllabic adaptive delta modulation system including a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator comprises a comparator having a first input connected to receive an input analog signal, a second input adapted to be connected to an integrator located in the conventional feedback loop of the delta modulator and a quantizing means for sampling the output of the comparator to generate delta modulated binary pulses of one polarity or the other as determined by the comparator. A syllabic filter is connected to the output of the quantizing means for filtering the low frequency components of the delta modulated pulses and a multiplier is also connected to the output of the quantizing means and responsive to the syllabic filter for modulating the amplitude of the delta modulated pulses with the low frequency components detected by the syllabic filter. The integrator is connected to the output of the multiplier for integrating the amplitude modulated pulses. The output of the integrator is applied to the second input of the comparator for comparing the output signal of the integrator with the input analog signal and generating a signal depending upon the difference between the two signals.
