[sci.electronics] Compression circuit for analog signals

udgrisan@ndsuvax.UUCP (Ames Grisanti) (10/16/89)

	I am trying to find a reference book on design of a circuit
which would perform the following function: take an analog signal
(containing frequency components up to 200Khz) and compress it's
dynamic range. I would like the circuit to produce a voltage 
proportional to the compression in addition to the original 
signal in compressed mode.

I also would appreciate any comments as to wether or not any of
the information contained in the original signal will be lost
in the compression process.

thanks,
