Abstract
In a code conversion system comprising an encoder and a decoder in combination, the encoder comprises an input terminal for receiving a multi-level time series signal having at least three signal levels subject to a variation of occurrence frequency of levels, a circuit for detecting the highest occurrence frequency signal ('HOFS') level of said multi-level time series signal and generating a first code representative of the run-lengths of said HOFS level, a circuit for generating a second code representative of the individual levels of said multi-level time series signal, and a circuit for combining said codes from said first and second code generation circuits on the time series, and wherein the decoder comprises a circuit for separating the first and second codes and decoding the separated first and second codes into the original multi-level time series signal.
