 Mu-law algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In telecommunication, a mu-law algorithm (μ-law) is a standard analog signal compression or companding algorithm, used in digital communications systems of the North American and Japanese digital hierarchies, to optimize (in other words, modify) the dynamic range of an audio analog signal prior to digitizing.
It is similar to the A-law algorithm used in Europe.
The mu-law algorithm is also used in some rather standard programming language approaches for storing and creating sound (such as the sun.audio classes in java 1.1, in the.au format, and in some C# methods).

 A-law algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An a-law algorithm is a standard companding algorithm, used in European digital communications systems to optimize, i.e., modify, the dynamic range of an analog signal for digitizing.
The A-law algorithm provides a slightly larger dynamic range than the mu-law at the cost of worse proportional distortion for small signals.
A-law encoding effectively reduces the dynamic range of the signal, thereby increasing the coding efficiency and resulting in a signal-to-distortion ratio that is superior to that obtained by linear encoding for a given number of bits.

 Audio data compression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perhaps the earliest algorithms used in speech encoding (and audio data compression in general) were the A-law algorithm and the mu-law algorithm.
In algorithms such as MP3, however, a large number of samples have to be analyzed in order to implement a psychoacoustic model in the frequency domain, and latency is on the order of 23 ms (46 ms for two-way communication).
Due to the nature of lossy algorithms, audio quality suffers when a file is decompressed and recompressed (generational losses).

 Java Sound, Compressing Audio with mu-Law Encoding
The black and white algorithm might use fewer data bits to describe each sample than would be the case with the color algorithm, because there would be significantly fewer possibilities that would need to be described at each sample point for the black and white photograph.
Although we haven't discussed the decoding algorithm yet, when this byte is decoded, it will return a 16-bit short value of 620 for an encoding/decoding error of about 1.8 percent.
As another example of a lossless system, if a black and white photograph is scanned using a scanning algorithm that is designed to properly scan color photographs and to maintain information about millions of colors, the resulting file may contain redundant data bits.

 Distinguishing received A-law and .mu.-law signals in a PCM modem - Patent 6181737
According to a third aspect of the invention, whether the incoming signal is coded according to A-law or according to.mu.-law is determined by calculating the value of an A-law/.mu.-law separation function, and then comparing the value of the function to a predetermined threshold.
According to a fourth aspect of the invention, a method for choosing a final scaling factor Scf for A-law and/or linear.mu.-law channels includes calculating a PAD estimation function and comparing the value of the calculated PAD estimation function to a series of thresholds to determine whether or not the PAD is <6 dB.

 math lessons - Quantization (signal processing)
In digital telephony, two popular quantization schemes are the 'A-law' (dominant in Europe) and 'µ-law' (dominant in North America and Japan).
Using this quantization law and assuming that quantization noise is uniformly distributed (accurate for rapidly varying x or high M), the signal to noise ratio can be approximated as
where x is a real number, Q(x) an integer, and f(x) is an arbitrary real-valued function that controls the "quantization law" of the particular coder.

 LAN Terminology And Components
The Mu-Law algorithm is a standard PCM technique used in North American digital telecommunications systems to optimize the dynamic range of an analog signal prior to digital encoding.
North America and Japan both use Mu-Law, while Europe uses a similar technique known as the A-Law algorithm.
Mu-Law is based on the theory that a majority of voice signals are concentrated in the quieter range, so the number of steps in the PCM sampling scale should be concentrated there as well.

 Installing the D/41ESC and the CP4/SC in SC mode
Typically for a system running in the United States or Canada, the audio digital encoding algorithm of choice is Mu-law.
To change the CP4/SC to Mu-law or A-law, change switch five on the six switch switch bank (SW1) on the SC daughter card or use the writefpga setting.
The voice files for the D/41ESC should therefore be in A-law if the system is in A-law, and Mu-law if the board is in Mu-law.
