A system is described in which a special type of syllabic compandor and other features offer an improved solution to the problems of using HF radio facilities for overseas telephone trunks. A major disadvantage of existing systems is the use of voice‐operated gates to prevent singing and echo effects. These gates interfere with the free flow of conversation. The new system allows stable full‐duplex operation as in conventional telephone circuits because a nearly constant circuit loss is maintained between the trunk terminals. Significant improvements in circuit quality result from full‐duplex operation and from a reduction in the effects of radio noise and interference by compandor action. Preliminary results of a field trial between New York and Buenos Aires have been highly favorable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
