Abstract

This delta modulation system uses the differences between three successive samples of a waveform (the i-1, i, and i+1) such that the number of bits per digitization is reduced from four to two. The value vi of the ith sample is calculated by the equation v.sub.i =v.sub.i -1+f(.DELTA..sub.i-1, .DELTA..sub.i), and f is a special function defined by 16 values stored in a read-only memory.
