Hello,
I am looking for some facts or specifications about an ADC quantizer.
Firstly I want to know if it possible for quantizers to dynamically change
their resolution? or is it fixed for a quantizer.
If the quantizer can actually change its resolution, I would be very
grateful if somebody c...
Hi
I am working on a backward adaptive non-uniform quantizer for use in
wireless transmissions. More precisely my quantizer currently consists of
an adaptive compader (currently atan-based) and a simple uniform quantizer.
This works very well.
Trouble is:
I am going to transmit data over a ...
I'm looking at the block diagram on page 247 of "Adaptive Signal
Processing" from B.Widrow and S.D.Stearns.
Anyway, the block diagram shows an LMS filter in the center, and the
Quantizer on the bottom right. The output of the Quantizer goes to a
subtraction element (which subtrats the LMS out...
I am digitizing the sampled signal be using a uniform quantizer, so the
step (q) between two consective quantization levels is fixed and is "q =
Vin/2^N" where 'q' is the quantization step, 'Vin' is the total range of
quantizer and 'N' are the effective number of bits of quantizer.
Now I want to ...
How does one design the optimum uniform scalar quantizer for a specific
Gaussian input?
All the literature I can find on quantization seems to deal with
analyzing specific quantizers, quantization noise probability densities
and power spectra etc., but I cannot seem to find any specifics on j...
Hello all,

Consider a requantization system with noise shaping and dithering.
The question is what to do when the sum of the signal, the noise
feedback and dither exceeds the range of the output quantizer.
A differentiator of the Nth order used as a noise shaping filter has the
max. feedback of ~2^N. S...

There's no "normal" quantization, so to say. A quantizer is
a mapping from a continuous set A of "signals" to a discrete set "D"
of symbols such that every a in A...

Hey guys,
I have a continuous-time sigma-delta converter that includes a
continuous-time transfer function H(s) at the input, followed by a
sampler, quantizer and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in the
feedback path. I'm trying to model the transfer function H(s) that
includes some non-i...

Dear friends,
I am encountering a confusion in Delta-Sigma Modulator. Most of the
references use a linearized model to model the DSM, and an analytical
transfer function can be derived. Refer to Shenoi's "Digital Signal

Hi,
Can someone explain how to quantize LLRs values (which are real numbers)

to discrete soft bit to maximize the decoder performance. This is beca...
The added accuracy by oversampling can be explained easily: The DAC
produces the same absolute amount of quantization noise, but it spreads
over a wider bandwidth.
At least that's what I can show with an ideal quantizer in Matlab, and
it's a good rule to remember.
With real-world converters ...

Hi all,
If input a step respond into a SDM with a 1 bit quantizer, the output
would be a stream of '1' and '0' s.
IS that stream PCM or PDM??
Can I tell the dynamic range form the bit stream??
For example a 50nA step input with a output bit strem of "101010111011"
and repeat.

For a first order loop, holding the voltage constant at 1/2 scale (also at
1/8, 1/4, ...) will show some limit cycle. This is a well documented
problem.
A higher order loop or a quantizer of more than 1 bit will reduced this
problem. Another technique is to add random noise in the loop, jus...
Dear all,
In a Delta-Sigma Modulator, after the quantizer, the output bit stream
(+1 and -1) is fed back to the input and being subtract from the
input(assuming first order loop). However, none of the references that

example, if t...

Thank you very much Michael.
This is digital-to-analog with uniform quantization I am assuming.
Basically a quantizer and a sample-and-hold filter in cascade. So the

.. well, if (as mentioned earlier) the assumption holds that quantization
noise is AWGN. In the voltmeter example, it probably is not:
I need to be some "dithering" signal that prevents the measured value from

Does anyone know some examples where quantization is modeled by a linear
model as follows:
y = Q(x),
modeled as
y = a*x + q,
where q is an additive noise, preferably white Gaussian.

From what I understand all S-D converters use a feedback loop.
Basically this loop is used to trade sampling frequency with dynamic
range. Without this feedback loop the system is a simple sampler with
