  • Mu-Law Compressor block

Description

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

y=Vlog(1+μ|x|/V)log(1+μ)sgn(x)

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.

Parameters

mu value

The µ-law parameter of the compressor.

Peak signal magnitude

The peak value of the input signal. This is also the peak value of the output.
