Topics

Source Coding

Scalar quantization is a process that maps all inputs within a specified range to a common value.

Quantize and Compand an Exponential Signal

When transmitting signals with a high dynamic range, quantization using equal length intervals can result in loss of precision and signal distortion.

Differential Pulse Code Modulation

Learn about differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) and how it is used as a predictive quantization method.

Quantization

Scalar quantization is a process that maps all inputs within a specified range to a common value.
