An A-law algorithm is a complex algorithm used
in audio processing, and in digitizing analog signals. Its use in European
engineering is contrasted with the mu-law algorithms used in American and
Japanese engineering systems.
“A-law”
is used to optimize the dynamic range of an analog signal. This type of design
can be used to deliver voice or audio data with less bandwidth. These audio
compression schemes are maintained by the
ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T). Some of the
benefits of these algorithmic solutions involve the ability to achieve
resolution for the lower-amplitude signals while still delivering dynamic
range, and the relatively small amount of processing power needed to decode
signals compressed with A-law compressions.
