Abstract

The derivative of an input signal is level-crossing-sampled and the resulting samples are transmitted. At the receiver, the resulting samples are fed to a zero-order hold followed by an integrator, which results in piecewise-linear reconstruction. The systems and methods are further refined to reduce the number of samples generated per unit of time, compared to methods based on zero-order-hold reconstruction, for a given signal-to-error ratio, without significant hardware overhead.
