Line 12:
In [[telecommunication]], this operation and its reverse are together known as '''companding''' (for '''comp'''ressing and ex'''panding''') so called because the [[dynamic range]] of signals is compressed before [[transmission (telecommunications)|transmission]] and is expanded to the original value at the receiver.
This is typically carried out in analog systems by using a [[voltage controlled amplifier]] which has its gain reduced as the power of the input signal increases.
