Abstract

An adaptive signal weighting filter for use in a compander performs a frequency response weighting function so that during the encoding process the spectral region of dominant signal energy of the program signal is preemphasized with respect to other spectral regions and during the decoding process the corresponding spectral regions of the encoded signal are deemphasized with respect to one another in a complementary manner.
