Abstract:
1. A system for processing an information bearing signal, the system comprising: an input device configured to receive the information bearing signal from a signal source; a first control circuit coupled to an input port of the input device, the first control circuit being configured to generate a normalized information bearing signal in accordance with a predetermined first transfer function, the normalized information bearing signal being a function of a predetermined signal reference; a transient detection circuit coupled to the first control circuit and the predetermined signal reference, the transient detection circuit being configured to detect transient signal components in the normalized information bearing signal and generate a detection response signal, the detection response signal being a function of the predetermined signal reference and transient impulse signals corresponding to detected transient signal components; a second control circuit coupled to the first control circuit and the transient detection circuit, the second control circuit being configured to combine the normalized information bearing signal with the detection response signal in accordance with a second predetermined transfer function to thereby generate a conditioned signal, the conditioned signal including the information bearing signal with gain enhanced transient signal components; and an output device coupled to the second control circuit, the output device being configured to propagate the conditioned signal in accordance with a predetermined signal format.
