ABSTRACT:
Compression of data representing waveform information is dynamically adapted to the waveform by performing a transformation on blocks of samples of the waveform to derive a plurality of coefficients representing a portion of the waveform corresponding to a block of samples and computing quantizer step sizes (quantitative increments of digitization) and quantizer sizes (number of bits for transmission of the coefficients) based on the relative magnitude and dynamic range of the coefficients and a user-specified parameter. The user-specified parameter may be used to set a lower limit on performance such as an upper limit on quantization noise or distortion (in which case data rate is automatically minimized) or a data rate for a communication link (in which case performance relative to quantization noise or distortion is maximized). Relatively insignificant coefficients and quantizer sizes smaller than the quantizer step size may be set to zero to further reduce the data rate or improve data fidelity for the bandwidth of the data link. Forward error correcting codes and gray codes are preferably employed for data transmission.
