摘要: Dithering is widely used for decreasing the bias in fixed-point quantization and rounding. Since floating-point digital signal processors (DSP’s) arithmetic are becoming used, it timely to investigate necessity possibilities of dithering numbers. The paper introduces a simple model dithers floating-point, discusses its practical use.
