THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECTRUM CHARACTERISTICS OF THE QUANTIZATION ERROR

• Abstract:

  The present paper examines a deterministic approach to quantization in a-d conversion processes. Temporal and spectral representations of the quantization error are discussed, referring to conditions where the characteristics of the quantizer are ideal and a sinusoidal signal is converted. A formula is provided for estimating the bandwidth occupied by the quantization error. The spectrum model of the quantization error is discussed as a tool of the description and testing of A/D converters.
