Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving a digital signal corresponding to an original analog signal, wherein the digital signal comprises a plurality of quantized amplitude values, wherein each quantized amplitude value corresponds to a respective amplitude of the original analog signal during a respective time quantum, wherein a respective gain was applied to the original analog signal during the respective time quantum, wherein the quantized amplitude values include a clipped quantized amplitude value and an attenuated quantized amplitude value that is not clipped, and wherein the respective gains of the clipped quantized amplitude value and the attenuated quantized amplitude value are different; and reconstructing the original analog signal from the plurality of quantized amplitude values, wherein said reconstructing includes: scaling the attenuated quantized amplitude value by a scaling factor based, at least in part, on the respective gain of the attenuated quantized amplitude value, and estimating the respective amplitude of the original analog signal corresponding to the clipped quantized amplitude value based, at least in part, on the scaled attenuated quantized amplitude value.
