ABSTRACT:
A method for encoding analog signals for storage or transmission includes the steps of sampling momentary values of the analog signals and converting the sampled values into PCM code words and forming PCM differential code words from two successive PCM words, each of the differential PCM words being of a prescribed length. The length of the generated differential PCM words are continuously compared to a reference code word and upon the length of a differential code word exceeding a specified length the word is either abbreviated by a companded differential PCM word by eliminating some of the least significant code elements, or by division of the excess-length word into two successive code words respectively comprising the least significant and most significant bits of the excess-length word, the differential PCM words additionally being replaced by PCM words when the associated signal content does not exceed the length prescribed by the reference code word.
