Abstract:
The invention provides a system improving signal handling, e.g., transmission and/or processing. In an embodiment, the system may include a filter circuit, a magnitude bit truncation circuit and a utility circuit. The filter circuit may be coupled to a target signal which contains one or more desired signals at one or more interested bands, for attenuating each said interested band to form a filtered signal. The magnitude bit truncation circuit may be coupled to the filter circuit, for truncating one or more bits of each sample of the filtered signal to form a truncated signal. The utility circuit may be coupled to the magnitude bit truncation circuit, for handling the truncated signal to implement handling of the target signal, so as to reduce resource requirement and enhance error tolerance comparing with directly handling the target signal.
Abstract:
There is provided an audio coding device which appropriately sets the quantization bit number by a small calculation amount in each stage when coding an input audio signal by performing multi-stage normalization/quantization. A quantization information calculation section determines total quantization information idwl0, based on normalization information idsf, and allocates the total quantization information idwl0 for quantization information idwl1 and quantization information idwl2. At this time, the quantization information calculation section limits the quantization information idwl1 by a limiter lim1, and allocates the total quantization information idwl0 for quantization information idwl1. If the quantization information idwl1 exceeds the limiter lim1, the excess is allocated for the quantization information idwl2. A first normalization section and a first quantization section normalizes and quantizes a frequency spectrum mdspec1 in the first stage. A second normalization section and a second quantization section normalizes and quantizes a differential frequency spectrum mdspec2 in the second stage.

Abstract:
A data communications system and method having high spectral efficiency. The method includes encoding input digital data using a plurality of symbol waveforms. Each symbol waveform occupies a period of a composite encoded waveform and represents one or more bits of the input digital data. Each symbol waveform has a first elliptical segment and a second elliptical segment of opposite polarity. The encoding includes defining each symbol waveform so that (i) a zero crossing from the first elliptical segment to the second elliptical segment of the symbol waveform is different for each of the symbol waveforms, and (ii) an energy of the first elliptical segment of the symbol waveform is substantially equal to an energy of the second elliptical segment of the symbol waveform. An encoded analog waveform is generated, using a digital-to-analog converter, from a digital representation of the composite encoded waveform.
