Agenda
• Quantization (Cont.).
• Uniform Quantization.
❑ Quantization principle is based on that any human sense (ear & eye) can only detect finite intensity differences.
➢ Uniform quantization: The representation levels are equally spaced (Uniformly spaced) ….
Used for biomedicine, audio systems.
o Midrise
o Midtread
➢ Non-uniform quantization: The representation levels have variable spacing from one another
Used for communication systems for the need to compress signals.
❑ The full-scale range of the I/P signal is divided into 2n values; (n is the number of ADC bits).
Uniform ❑ Each analog sample is assigned to one of the 2n values by truncation.
Quantization
❑ The difference between two adjacent values is called ‘Quantum’ or step size (a).
Signal Reconstruction: “Interpolation Formula”
❑ The Process of reconstructing a continuous-time signal g(t) from its samples is also knows as interpolation.
❑ We saw that a signal g(t) band-limited to B Hz can be reconstructed (interpolated) exactly from its samples.
❑ This is done by passing the sampled signal through as ideal low-pass filter of bandwidth B Hz.
❑ As seen from the following equation, the sampled signal must be passed through as ideal low-pass filter of
bandwidth B Hz and gain Ts.
The impulse response of this filter , the inverse Fourier transform of H(f):
Example: ➢ we use the interpolation formula to construct g(t) from its samples.
➢ Note: only signal that has a bandwidth B Hz and with the sample values g(0) = 1.
➢ g(nTs ) = 0 (n ≠ 0)
Practical Difficulties in Signal Reconstruction:
❑ If a signal is sampled at the Nyquist rate fs = 2B Hz, the spectrum of
sampled signal consists of repetitions of the original one without any gap
between successive cycles as shown in the following figure.
❑ To recover the original signal, we need to pass the sampled signal through an ideal low-pass filter shown
dotted in the previous figure. But this filter is unrealizable (it can be closely approximated only with infinite
time delay in the response).
❑ A practical solution to this problem is to sample the
signal at a rate higher than the Nyquist rate (fs > 2B Hz).
❑ We can now recover the original signal using low-pass
filter with gradual cutoff characteristic shown dotted in
the following figure.
❑ But even in this case, the filter gain is required to be zero beyond the first cycle ➔ also,
it is impossible to realize even this filter, but the required filter can be closely
approximated with a smaller time delay.
