ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a dynamic range enhancing system for increasing the dynamic range of a transmission link, and also to a process for increasing the dynamic range of a transmission link. An instruction setting process is also provided for defining a set of instructions, for a control device of the system, which detects, at an initial position along the transmission link, the level of a transmit signal adapted to be transmitted over the transmission link. The control device controls a first signal level changing device and a second signal level changing device in response to the detected level. The first and second signal level changing devices, respectively, process the transmit signal level before and after transmission over the link.
