What is a quantizer? In the usual sense, a quantizer transforms an analog signal (with an infinity of possible values) to a smaller (and finite) set of digital values. An A/D converter is a ...
In this section, we focus on a linear midtread quantizer, which is used in digital communications (Roddy and Coolen, 1997; Tomasi, 2004), and its use to quantize speech waveform. The linear midtread ...
To do this, the delta-sigma modulator uses an input signal quantizer (A/D converter) running at a very high sample rate, producing a steady stream of 1-bit codes that represent the voltage of the ...
