Abstract

A transmultiplexer and method for use in a telephone system for translating information between time division and frequency division multiplexed formats. The transmultiplexer includes discrete cosine transform processor means connected to receive a linearly coded time division multiplexed signal representing a plurality of information channels for transforming the time division signal into a frequency division multiplexed signal and also includes weighting network means for weighting the transformed signal with predetermined real coefficients thereby forming a frequency division multiplexed signal corresponding to said time division multiplexed signal. The weighting network means are connected to receive a second multi-channel frequency division multiplexed signal for weighting the frequency signal with predetermined real coefficients thereby forming a weighted signal. An inverse discrete cosine transform processor transforms the weighted signal into a multi-channel time division multiplexed signal corresponding to the frequency division multiplexed signal.
