kvantointiyksikön
Kvantointiyksikkö refers to a quantization unit in the context of digital signal processing and data compression. It is a fundamental concept in understanding how analog signals are converted into digital representations. Essentially, a kvantointiyksikkö is the smallest discrete value or step that a signal can be represented at. When an analog signal, which has a continuous range of values, is digitized, it must be mapped onto a finite set of digital levels. The size of the interval between these levels is determined by the kvantointiyksikkö.
The process of quantization involves dividing the entire range of possible signal values into a number of
Quantization error is the difference between the original analog signal value and its quantized digital representation.
