Abstract
In this paper, we propose an Adaptive Deltamodulator (ADM) wherein the step size information is obtained by checking the output bit stream for a certain number of consecutive bits of the same polarity. The number of bits to be checked has been shown to be dependent upon the sampling rate and must be reduced as the sampling rate is reduced in order to obtain a good performance. An experimental coder is described which has an SNR greater than 26 dB over an input range of 33 dB at a clock rate of 32 kHz.
