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 ...

Tiziano Colombo Mr. Colombo: The analog-to-digital conversion is characterized by two inseparable processes: sampling and quantization. The sampling process consists of a pulse amplitude modulation ...

The array of sampled input values represents the input signal, and it’s precise to the value of N. Sampling and quantization establish the performance limits of an ideal ADC.

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.

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 ...
