摘要: The author considers the characteristics of error resulting when a continuous amplitude signal x/sub n/ is quantized and then multiplied by constant multiplier under fixed-point roundoff arithmetic. It shown that overall such an operation can be decomposed into two terms: one being scaled version due to quantization other rounding off product aQ(x/sub n/). Exact first- second-order moments are derived for error, as function distribution n/. Sufficient conditions given individually uniformly distributed white up moments, also them mutually uncorrelated. regardless probability input n/, it always possible add suitable dither system so both distributed, white, For Gaussian inputs, sufficient not satisfied. >
