  • Abstract
    The important concept of a linear system has been generalized to include situations in which signals are combined by processes other than addition. In this paper, particular attention is paid to cases for which the combining process is multiplications and the design of a signal filtering device which is linear for multiplied signals is presented. The use of this device as an automatic gain control and as a precision volume compressor-expander is discussed.
