  • Automatic d-c offset cancellation in PCM encoders
    Patent number: 4140925
    Abstract: During encoding of voice frequency (VF) signal in a PCM channel bank the encoder encounters direct current (d-c) offset component resulting from the particular VF signal. Such d-c offsets cause errors above and beyond the normal errors inherent in the normal encoding process. The present invention alleviates this problem by providing an automatic d-c offset cancellation circuit which closely follows the d-c offset component and provides a d-c component of opposite sign to cancel it.
