Uniform quantization
Figure out these questions using the online simulation:
- Calculate and measure the quantization error power!
- Vary the signal amplitude and determine the respective Signal-to-quantization-noise ratios.
- Vary the bit per sample resolution and determine the respective SNRs.
- What probability distribution does the quantization error (usually) have?
- What exceptions can occur to this probability distribution?
Listen to signals using the audio play measure (right click on wire):
-
How does music or speech sound for different quantization resolutions?
-
How many bit per sample are required to understand the speech demo?
-
Can you imagine how this wired quantization error signal will sound?
- Check the sound quality for low signal amplitudes.
