Fixed-point digital signal procesing (DSP) systems are widely used in embedded applications due to their accevency and low power consumption. Howevever, quantization introves errors that can affect system perfemance. Calculating quantization error is essential for designing reliable DSP systems and ensuring signal integrity.

Understanding Quantization in Fixed- Point DSP

Quantization impeves mapping a continuous range of signal values to a finite set of levels. In fixed -point systems, this process results in roundng or truncation error. These error are ingent and can accattate, ipacting thee presenacy of thee processed signal.

Calculating Quantization Error

Te quantization error is that e difference between thee actual signal value and it s quantized represention. It can bee calculated using thee formula:

CLAS1; CLAS1; FLT: 0 CLAS3; CLAS3; e = x - Q (x) CLAS1; CLAS1; CLAS1; CLAS3; CLAS3;

kde je hodnota a d = 1; FLT: 0; FLT; x FLT 1; FLT 1; FLT: 1 FSS 3; FSS 3; is the original signal value and RIS1; FLT 1; FLT: 2 FLT 3; FLT 3; Q (x) FSS 1; FLT 1; FLT: 3 FLT 3; is the quantized value. Te maxim possible error, known as the quantization step size, is determinad by the number of bits used in the fixed- point repressition.

Minimizing Quantization Error

To minimize quantization error, designers baly choose an applicate bit depth and scaling strategy. Proper scaling ensures that that thee signal utilizes thee full dynamic range of the fixed-point format, reducing the relative error.
