  • Publication number: 20240348219
    Abstract: A differential amplification device and a compensation method thereof. The differential amplification device includes a first terminal signal circuit, a second terminal signal circuit and a controller. The first terminal signal circuit and the second terminal signal circuit respectively generate a first terminal signal and a second terminal signal of a differential output signal to a first terminal of a transmission path. The controller adjusts first element parameters of the first terminal signal circuit or second element parameters of the second terminal signal circuit based on a transmitted differential signal at a second terminal of the transmission path to compensate for asymmetric influence by the transmission path on the first terminal signal and the second terminal signal of the transmitted differential signal. Adjustment of the first element parameter of the first terminal signal circuit is independent of adjustment of the second element parameter of the second terminal signal circuit.

  • Publication number: 20240303028
    Abstract: An audio data processing and transmission system has multiple audio data transmitter devices and an audio data receiver device. The audio data receiver device is communicatively connected to the audio data transmitter devices. The audio data transmitter device acquires a piece of first audio data which has not been performed with digital signal processing and has no functions of the digital signal processing. The audio data receiver device receives multiple pieces of the first audio data transmitted by the audio data transmitter devices, and performs the digital signal processing on the multiple pieces of the first audio data which have not been performed with digital signal processing. The audio data transmitter devices have no digital signal processing circuits, and the work of the digital signal processing is transfer to the audio data receiver device, thus reducing an overall cost of the audio data processing and transmission system.
