kvantisointivirheenä
Kvantisointivirheenä is a Finnish term that translates to "quantization error" in English. It refers to the difference between the original analog signal and its digital representation after the analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) process. When an analog signal is converted into a digital signal, its continuous range of values is mapped to a finite set of discrete levels. This process inevitably introduces an error because the digital representation cannot perfectly capture all the nuances of the original analog signal.
The magnitude of the quantization error is dependent on the number of bits used in the digital
Quantization error is a fundamental limitation in digital signal processing and is present in virtually all
