Digital audio or sound information such a speech is typically transmitted in bursts or packets containing a plurality of digitized sound samples. For the reconstruction of such a digital data stream in the presence of erasures or mutes, a method and an arrangement is disclosed, in which at a data receiver having an audio processing portion a plurality of successively data bursts outputted from a speech buffer are stored into a cyclic buffer. During an erasure, the data stream is reconstructed by outputting into the speech buffer stored bursts in their reversed order of storage. By reusing the bursts while reversing the sequence of the digitized sound samples, a virtually click free reconstruction of the data stream is obtained. An embodiment for use with a cordless telephone system is described.

Method and an arrangement for sound reconstruction during erasures

In the case of amplifier circuits realised in modern MOS technology, non-linear distortion occurs as a result of the high field strengths in the channel region due to the small dimensions. This distortion is eliminated and noise is reduced in that the amplifier circuit comprises a first series combination of first and second MOS transistors, and a second series combination identical with the first series combination and forming a long tailed pair circuit with the latter. The long tailed pair circuit includes an additional differential amplifier having its output connected to the gate electrode of a load transistor of the long tailed pair circuit by way of a voltage divider. The transistors in the long tailed pair circuit are mutually identical.
