The advantage of mu law encoding is that it preserves some of the dynamic range that would be lost if a linear method of. A proposed approximation for u mu for mu law companding scheme is given by 33 u mu. Conference proceedings papers presentations journals. Mu specifies, and v is the input signals maximum magnitude. Reversible data hiding using integer wavelet transform and companding technique conference paper pdf available in lecture notes in computer science 3304. For different methods to perform the a law mu law encoding transcoding, see f105925. A law uses a companding technique that provides more quantizing steps at lower amplitude volume than at higher amplitude.
A query on the nonuniform quantization stack exchange. For any analogtodigital conversion process, the quantization step produces an estimate of the waveform sample using a digital codeword. This became a common telco solution, and thus, prior to common digital usage, the mu law specification was developed to define an intercompatible standard. The nonuniform quantization of the input signal is the effect of combining a uniform quantizer with a nonlinear input characteristic and if you look at the left diagram, youll quickly notice that a greater range of high input values correspond to a smaller output value. Papr reduction in ofdm using reduced complexity pts with. The isdn hardware samples the voice signal from the telephone 8khz and generates 14bit samples bit for alaw. Companding and nonuniform quantization electronics. The program illustrates the impact of mu law companding on a speech signal, showing the signal histograms of the original speech signal along side of the histogram of the mu law encoded signal.
A law and u law are companding schemes used in telephone network to get more dynamics to the 8 bit samples that is available with linear coding. Correspondingly, the pdf of the amplitude of the companded signal is given by. This pr implements mu law compression and expansion, with and without quantization. Though the encoding and decoding processes are similar in both alaw and ulaw. As the digital age dawned, it was noted that this preexisting algorithm had the effect of significantly reducing the number of bits needed to encode recognizable human voice.
