Abstract
Abstract A voice signal is modulated using two carriers which are perpendicular to each other. The modulated signal is supplied to a low-pass filter, and then sampled. The sampled data are encoded, and then stored. When the stored data are to be reproduced, the data are decoded, and sampled. The sampled data are supplied to a demodulator through a low-pass filter.
