A waveform before and after the compression stage of non-linear companding In
telecommunication,
signal processing, and
thermodynamics, companding (occasionally called compansion) is a method of mitigating the detrimental effects of a channel with limited
dynamic range. The name is a
portmanteau of
compressing and expanding.While the compression used in audio recording and the like depends on a
variable-gain amplifier, and so is a locally linear process (linear for short regions, but not globally), companding is non-linear and takes place in the same way at all points in time. The dynamic range of a signal is compressed before
transmission and is expanded to the original value at the receiver.

An
operation in which the
dynamic range of signals is compressed before
transmission and is expanded to the original value at the receiver. (
188 ) Note: The use of companding allows signals with a large dynamic range to be transmitted over facilities that have a smaller dynamic range capability. Companding reduces the
noise and
crosstalk levels at the receiver.
