ABSTRACT:
It has been observed that the S/N ratio of differential-mode PCM and summation-mode PCM with respect to quantization noise is improved at low frequencies and high frequencies, respectively, and consequently the dynamic range thereof is increased. An input signal is divided into blocks of a predetermined number of bits, and, for each block, the one of the general-mode PCM, differential-mode PCM, and summation-mode PCM mode is selected in which adaptive encoding is most efficient, and consequently the quantization noise is smallest, and the input signal data in the mode selected for each block is transmitted together with a mode signal and an adaptive data signal, etc. It has also been observed that the closer to the main signal, the larger the masking effect on the sense of hearing, so that the S/N ratio in terms of the sense of hearing is improved by changing the noise spectrum during digitization to correspond to the spectrum of the input signal.
