For years, rumors have been circulating about quantization noise. The theory is developed for uniform quantizers, then it is extended to floatingpoint number representation. The number of samples taken during one second is called the sample rate. It is a nice exception to the many sloppy works directed at ees that dominate the field of signal theory. Written for statisticians, physicists, and engineers in the field of digital signal processing and control, this book provides an authoritative analysis of quantization noise. Quantization noise is generally modeled as a uniform random variable between plus and minus half the least significant bit since rounding to the. Sampling and quantization often the domain and the range of an original signal xt are modeled as continuous. This substantial and hugely substantive book consists of six parts. This all can be done when we convert our signal into a digital format.
