Bandüberlagerungen

Bandüberlagerungen, also known as band interleaving or band merging, is a technique used in various fields, most notably in digital signal processing and data compression, to combine multiple data streams or signals into a single, unified stream. The primary goal is to improve efficiency, reduce redundancy, or simplify the transmission and storage of information.

In digital signal processing, bandüberlagerungen might refer to the process of multiplexing different frequency bands of a signal into a single channel. This is common in telecommunications, where multiple voice or data signals are combined for transmission over a shared medium. The signals are typically separated based on their frequency ranges, and a process of demultiplexing is used at the receiving end to separate them again.

In the context of data compression, bandüberlagerungen can describe methods where different components or aspects of data are interleaved. For example, in image compression, color components (like red, green, and blue) might be interleaved rather than stored in separate blocks. This can sometimes lead to better compression ratios by exploiting correlations between the interleaved data. The specific implementation and benefits of bandüberlagerungen depend heavily on the application.
