Abstract
Bit rate in a PCM Companding system is reduced by transmitting sample magnitude (X.sub.n) if the sample is near a zero-crossing, and transmitting the difference (D.sub.n) between sequential samples if not near a zero-crossing. ROMs are used for mapping (transforming) full versus reduced data.
