Abstract
One of the important conditions that must be met by any speech transmission system is that it should transmit properly a sufficient range of speech intensities. In long wave radio telephony, even after the speech waves are raised to the maximum intensity before transmission, there remain energy variations such that weak syllables and important parts of strong syllables may be submerged under heavy static. The compandor is an automatic device which compresses the range of useful signal energy variations at the transmitting end and expands the range to normal at the receiving end, thus improving the speech-to-noise ratio. This paper deals with some of the fundamental characteristics of speech waves and explains how the task of changing them for transmission over the circuit and restoring them at the receiving end is accomplished.
