Quantization introduces harmonic distortion – not surprising, as it slightly distorts the signal. But much worse than this, it also introduces spurious, non-harmonic frequencies – mixing products , if ...

Quantization noise is the most well-known source of noise in a data converter. It results from the errors inherent in the sampling and quantization process used in the converter.

Basic review of how the different kinds of analog-to-ditital converters wor, with a sidebar relating them to appropriate applications. ADCs quantize time-varying analog voltages into a sequence of ...

Design of fragrance-programmable ADCs We designed a 2-bit interconnection between cell populations encoding a fragrance-sampling-and-quantization module as well as a gas-to-liquid transducer and a ...

I read your October article entitled “Digitizing audio,” and have a question on the SNR formula for digital audio. We have two different audio levels (one very ...
