Abstract
The auxilliary signal path in a compander system includes, in series, a first amplifier 7, a weighting function amplifier 8, and a detection circuit 9. The output of the latter controls the gain of a voltage-controlled variable gain circuit 11 also connected to the first amplifier output, and the integrated output of the variable gain circuit is fed back to the input of the first amplifier via a subtraction circuit 13 also supplied with the auxilliary signal path input. Alternatively, the first amplifier may comprise an operational amplifier, in which case the integrated signal is directly coupled to one of its inputs.
