Title: Method and apparatus for signal compression

Abstract

The method and apparatus of the invention effects compression of an analog electrical signal (e.g., representing an interferogram) by introducing into it a component that is a cubic function thereof, normally as a nonlinear negative signal in a feedback loop of an Op Amp. The compressed signal will most desirably be digitized and then digitally decompressed so as to produce a signal that emulates the original. 8 figures.
