First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a summing junction configured to receive at least one compressed signal created in part by compressing at least one measured signal;
a modulator coupled to said summing junction and configured to modulate the at least one compressed signal;
a filter coupled to said modulator and configured to filter the at least one measured signal;
at least one memory coupled to said modulator and configured to store the at least one compressed signal; and
a maximum detect and hold control interface coupled to at least one of said summing junction, said modulator, said filter, and said at least one memory, said maximum detect and hold control interface configured to;
control at least one of said summing junction, said modulator, said filter, and said at least one memory to compress the at least one measured signal; and

Abstract
Systems and methods for compressing high-frequency signals are described in certain embodiments herein. According to certain embodiments, a high-frequency signal can be converted into a lower frequency signal so that it can be processed by one or more devices in a lower frequency infrastructure. In certain embodiments, the high-frequency signal can be compressed by certain signal conditioning components and an algorithm executed by a computer processor to at least receive a high-frequency signal, correct the high-frequency signal, determine a number of samples to be taken from the high-frequency signal (i.e., sample the high-frequency signal), store a value associated with the sampled signal, and generate a waveform that includes lower frequency content that may represent the original, high-frequency signal.
