Signal compression is the process of reducing the amount of data required to represent a signal. This technique is often used in various fields such as telecommunications, audio, video processing, and data storage to minimize the size of the data while preserving the essential information contained in the signal. The main objectives of signal compression include: 1. **Reducing Bandwidth Usage:** In communication systems, compressed signals require less bandwidth to transmit, allowing more signals to be sent simultaneously over the same channel.
