Abstract
The encoding and processing of data for many applications can be rendered more tractable when the encoding method can independently manipulate two or more parameters that result, by conjunction, in an accurately posted data value precisely where it is expected. From a data standpoint, this would entail dividing an n-width digital word into separate fractional words and processing the subsets consecutively and independently, where the distinction between these fractional words has an explicit bearing on the information being borne. For example, an 8-bit word can be decomposed into two 4-bit words, half of which are processed while the transmission source is at full intensity, the other half being processed while the transmission source is at 1/16intensity, thereby recovering the entire dynamic range of the original 8-bit word while reducing the bandwidth and cycle speed necessary for the transducer to be driven by the input signal.
