Abstract

A method of reconstructing an analog signal, particularly for digital telephony, comprises a first step of digital-to-analog conversion, wherein a first reconstruction of the analog signal is provided by introducing a distortion component into the frequency spectrum whose amplitude decreases with the signal frequency, and a second step of filtering carried out by means of a reconstruction filter provided with integrators and having a cut-off frequency F.sub.t. That attenuating distortion component is utilized instead of one of the integrators in the reconstruction filter, to afford a reduction of the overall design of the circuit device operating in accordance with this method, and bring about, as a result, decreased occupation of the integrated circuit and power dissipation.
