APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LEVEL-DEPENDENT COMPANDING FOR WIRELESS AUDIO NOISE REDUCTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to wireless audio microphone systems. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In order to provide audio communication between a talker and those listening to the talker, audio electronic equipment is often utilized to facilitate the communication. The term "talker" can connote a variety of input sources, including a person articulating language or a musical band playing a song. Moreover, the talker may require an untethered connection to the audio electronic equipment for greater mobility. A wireless connection between the acoustical speaker and the electronics equipment can be provided by frequency (FM) radio techniques in which the audio electronics equipment comprises a transmitter (which includes an encoder) and a receiver (which includes an decoder). In such an arrangement, the transmitter processes the audio signal as provided by the talker and modulates the signal so that the transformed signal can be conveyed over the wireless path to a receiver. The receiver demodulates the received signal, and the processed received signal is then presented to circuitry that may amplify the processed received signal. The corresponding signal may be recorded by additional recording circuitry or may be converted into an audio signal with an acoustical speaker arrangement. The quality of the processed received signal, and consequently the associated audio signal, can be degraded by any "noise" that is generated in the wireless path between the encoder and the decoder. (The term "noise" is associated with a randomly varying signal superimposed on the desired, undistorted signal). There are a number of sources of noise with respect to the wireless path, including transmitter VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) phase noise, transmitter synthesizer stability, the quality of the FM detector in the receiver, receiver RF band pass filtering, and the receiver"s local oscillator. Moreover, with FM radio techniques the wireless path is susceptible to FM noise generated when a weak radio signal as received by the receiver. The FM noise results in the audio signal (as provided to the listener) having "breathing" characteristics because of the similar sound characteristics of someone breathing. The "breathing" effect is caused by the dynamic noise in conjunction with the type of companding. Moreover, the degree of the "breathing" effect increases with the dynamic noise level. The resulting effect can be noticeable to the listener and is perceived as a degradation of the audio signal. Thus, a solution that ameliorates the "breathing" effect is an advancement in wireless microphone technology. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention mitigates the "breathing effect" associated with a wireless communications path between an encoder and a decoder of a wireless audio noise reduction system. Otherwise, the listener perceives a sound that is characteristic of someone breathing. The "breathing" effect is caused by the dynamic noise in conjunction with the type of companding. Moreover, the degree of the "breathing" effect increases with dynamic noise level. The present invention provides apparatus and method to mitigate the corresponding breathing effect. According to the present invention, the wireless audio noise reduction system comprises an encoder and a decoder. The encoder comprises a variable compressor that invokes compression whenever the input signal is above a first input threshold, a frequency modulation (FM) modulator, and a matching network that interfaces the modulator to a first antenna that transmits over the wireless communications path. The decoder receives a signal from the encoder over the wireless communications path through a second antenna. The decoder comprises a FM detector and a variable expander that invokes expanding operation above a second input threshold. An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is presented illustrating an architecture of the encoder and decoder having a communications path such as a radio path or a cable. Moreover, an electrical design of the encoder and decoder is presented with commercially available components.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Figure 1 shows a system architecture of wireless audio noise reduction system 100 in accordance with the present invention. Input source 101 generates an acoustical signal that is processed by input device 103 over transmission path 102. While Figure 1 depicts input source 101 as being a person, one skilled in the art appreciates that input source 101 can a person, a musical instrument, a compact disc (CD), or any generator of a audio frequency band signal. Input device 103 processes the signal produced by input source 101. Consequently, the selection of input device 103 is dependent upon the selection of input source 101. For example, if input source 101 is a person, a microphone is applicable as input device 103. If input source 101 is a CD, then the electronics associated with a CD player is applicable as input device 103. Transmission path 102 is dependent upon the selection the selection of 101 and 103. Some examples of transmission path 102 include air or a cable connecting 101 and 103. HPF 105 is a high pass filter that reduces unwanted noise (e.g. wind noise while talking in a car) that can be generated through transmission path 102. However, the need for including HPF 105 is dependent upon the characteristics of input source 101, transmission path 102, and input device 103. Pre-emphasis circuit 107 enhances the gain of the higher frequency component of the presented signal. It is well known in the art that the inclusion of a pre-emphasis circuit increases the resulting signal to noise ratio (S/N) with frequency modulation techniques. The resulting signal is the input signal to variable compressor 109. Variable compressor 109 has a gain characteristic that is dependent upon the level of the input signal. The gain characteristic is discussed in relation to Figure 2, while the operation of variable compressor 109 is discussed in more detail with Figure 3. Variable compressor 109 invokes compression only if the input signal to 109 is above a first input threshold. If not (i.e. the input signal is below the first input threshold), variable compressor 109 has a fixed gain (typically between 35 and 50 dB). In other words, the compression characteristic of variable compressor 109 is disabled. The output of variable compressor 109 is processed by modulator 111. Modulator 111 utilizes frequency modulation (FM) techniques. The resulting output of 111 is processed by matching network 113. Matching network 113 matches the impedance of the encoder to the impedance of antenna 115 and provides the desired signal level for transmission. Communications is established between antenna 115 and antenna 117 over radio frequency (RF) path 116. Alternative embodiments can utilize other types of transmission media other than a radio frequency medium. Alternative examples include an infrared transmission medium and a visible light medium. The received signal that is received by antenna 117 of a decoder is processed by FM detector 119. FM detector 119 utilizes FM techniques to convert a FM signal into a baseband audio signal. Amplifier 121 amplifies the output signal of FM detector 119 to an appropriate level. Depending upon the characteristics of the received signal, amplifier 121 may not be required. The output from amplifier 121 is processed by LPF 123, which is a low pass filter. The response of LPF 123 in conjunction with the response of HPF 105 creates an effective band pass filter that reduces ultra-sonic and sub-sonic information that may impede the operation of variable expander 125. The output of LPF 123 is then processed by variable expander 125. Variable expander 125 has an inverse gain characteristic of variable compressor 109 in order to recover the input signal from input source 101. Variable expander 125 invokes expanding operation if the input signal is above a second threshold level. Below the second threshold level, expander 125 has a fixed gain to compensate for the corresponding fixed gain of variable compressor 109. The operation of expander 125 is discussed in greater detail with Figure 4. The output of variable expander 125 is then processed to de-emphasis circuit 127. De-emphasis circuit has an essentially inverse gain function of pre-emphasis circuit 105. Thus, de-emphasis circuit 127 has a higher gain for the lower-frequency component of an input signal. The processed signal is presented to output device 129. Examples of output device 129 include a mixing console, an acoustical speaker, and a recording device. Even though Figure 1 shows a wireless system, the present invention is applicable to a non- wireless system in which RF path 116 is replaced with a non-wireless transmission path such as a cable, infrared transmission medium, or a visible Jight medium as can be appreciated by one skilled in the art. The degree of "breathing" is dependent upon the amount of signal degradation incurred with the non-wireless path. Moreover, as can be appreciated by one skilled in the art, the present invention is applicable to audio communications system utilizing modulation schemes other than frequency modulation. Figure 2 shows a relationship of the gain function of variable compressor 109 that is shown in Figure 1. Compressor input 201 (in dB) is mapped to compressor output 202 (in dB). Whenever compressor input 201 is above .11 206, variable compressor 109 invokes compression operation as reflected by curve 203. Graphical point 205 corresponds to II 206 in which the associated compressor output is Ol 207. If compressor input 201 is below II 206, then variable compressor 109 has a gain of essentially one as represented by curve 204. In engineering the gain function of variable compressor 109, the designer must consider the voltage rails associated with 109. The associated voltage levels of the processed signal are restrained by the voltage levels of the power supply. Graphical point 205 is chosen in order to satisfy the restraints as imposed by the voltage rails and the dynamic range requirement of wireless audio noise reduction system 100. The gain function of variable expander 125 can be derived from Figure 2 by replacing compressor input 201 with the expander output and by replacing compressor output 202 with the expander input. By increasing the compression ratio (as reflected in curve 203), the greater the value of compression input I1 206. The increased value of 11 206 is desirable because the "breathing" effect (that is induced by the noise generated on RF path 116) is mitigated. However, increasing the compression ratio requires that the expansion ratio increase accordingly. However, with increased compression and expansion ratios, the component tolerances of variable compressor 109 and variable expander 125 become more critical. If the compression and the expansion ratios become too large, the practicality of wireless audio noise reduction system 100 is compromised. Figure 3 shows a functional diagram of variable compressor 109. The input signal from pre- emphasis circuit 107 is connected to input 300 of VCA (voltage controlled amplifier) 301. VCA 301 is an amplifier whose gain varies with control voltage 302. The output of VCA 301 is processed by amplifier 303 and LPF 305. LPF 305 is a low pass filter and functions as an integrator to provide a desired time constant to mitigate undesired transients. LPF 305 is optional to the design in accordance with the required filtering characteristics of the encoder"s feedback. Output 316 of variable compressor 109 is processed by modulator 111 as well as processed by a feedback loop circuit configuration comprising RMS detector 307, compressor ratio and threshold circuit 309, and amplifier 311. RMS detector 307 processes the output from LPF 305 so that the output of RMS detector 307 is representative of the root mean square (RMS) value of output 316. Circuit ratio and threshold circuit 309 processes the output of RMS detector 307 in order to invoke compressor operation above compressor input I1 206. Moreover, circuit 309 insures that the signal levels of VCA 301 and 307 are compatible. Bias offset circuit 313 is incorporated to insure that the bias level of VCA 301 is compatible with the bias level of RMS detector 307. Trim circuit 315 provides symmetry in the associated waveform in order to reduce distortion of the output of VCA 301. Figure 4 shows a functional diagram of variable expander 125 as shown in Figure 1. Input 400 is connected to the output of LPF 123 in Figure 1. Output 412 is connected to the input of de- emphasis circuit 127 in Figure 1. The functionality of VCA 401, expansion ratio and threshold circuit 405, RMS detector 407, bias offset circuit 409, and trim circuit 411 correspond to the functionality of VCA 301, compressor ratio and threshold circuit 309, RMS detector 307, bias offset circuit 313, and trim circuit 315 respectively as shown in Figure 3. The design of expansion ratio and threshold circuit 405 must account for the fact that gain function of VCA 401 is essentially the inverse function of the gain function of VCA 301.

The output of amplifier 311 is connected to pin 504 (EC-) in order to control the voltage gain of integrated circuit 501. The distortion of the output of integrated circuit 501 is reduced by adjusting the voltage level presented to pin 505 (TRIM) by trim circuit 315. Trim circuit 315 comprises resistor 528 and 529.
