Synchronization of transmission systems with ANS-DM codecs

Adaptive Delta Modulation with Non-uniform Sampling (ANS-DM) is one of the waveform coding techniques, where a sampling instant and a quantization step size are adapted to the signal. The ANS-DM modulator produces an output binary stream, that carries information about the signal and includes necessary data of coder parameters (sampling instant and quantization step). In the demodulator, these values are recovered for proper signal reconstruction. The paper reports the problem of synchronizing clocks (transmitting and receiving) in the (ANS-DM) delta codecs systems. The original synchronization method, valuable in systems dedicated to the transmission of the bits with variable time duration was projected and experimentally verified. Performed measurements and observations have shown the elimination of the synchronization loss phenomenon.
