What is meant by pre-emphasis?

pre·​emphasis. (ˈ)prē+ : the intentional alteration of the relative strengths of signals at different frequencies (as in radio and in disc recording) to reduce adverse effects (as noise) in the following parts of the system.

What is pre-emphasis in signal processing?

In processing electronic audio signals, pre-emphasis refers to a system process designed to increase (within a frequency band) the magnitude of some (usually higher) frequencies with respect to the magnitude of other (usually lower) frequencies in order to improve the overall signal-to-noise ratio by minimizing the ...

What does pre-emphasis filter do?

Pre-emphasis works by boosting the high-frequency portion of the signal. This compensates for the high-frequency loss in the cable. De-emphasis works by cutting the low-frequency portion of the signal. This may be coupled with an increased transmit voltage.

Why do we use pre-emphasis?

Pre-emphasis should be used when the signal loss in the transmission channel between Transmitter and Receiver is heavy and the signal observed at the end of Receiver is less than the receiving sensitivity required for Receiver.
