Mu-Law Compressor - Implement µ-law compressor for source coding

Library

Source Coding

Description

The Mu-Law Compressor block implements a µ-law compressor for the input signal. The formula for the µ-law compressor is

where µ is the µ-law parameter of the compressor, V is the peak magnitude of x, log is the natural logarithm, and sgn is the signum function (sign in MATLAB).

The input can have any shape or frame status. This block processes each vector element independently.

Dialog Box

mu value

The µ-law parameter of the compressor.

Peak signal magnitude
