Abstract
Due to the limited dynamic range of magnetic tape recorders, the recording of signals with large peak excursions compared to the average energy requires a choice between over-driving the recorder, or accepting a low signal-to-noise ratio. It is demonstrated that a simple and inexpensive limiter circuit can be successfully used to circumvent this problem. Pseudodata produced in the laboratory were recorded via such a circuit and the performance of the system was evaluated by comparing the calculated probability densities, third- and fourth-order moments, and spectra, of the original and recorded signals.
