Abstract-The effect of the companding process on QAM signals has been under investigation for the past several years. The compander, included in the PCM telephone network to improve voice performance, has an unusual affect on digital QAM data

Companding is essentially a technique for achieving non-uniform quantization. There are basically 2 methods which are most popular in literature.:-A-law companding and u-law companding. These algorithms help in achieving to an extend, compression. Th
