Processing distortion phenomenon, also known as signal processing distortion, refers to unwanted alterations or inaccuracies introduced into a signal during its manipulation or transmission by electronic or digital systems. These distortions can manifest in various forms, affecting the fidelity and integrity of the original information. Common types include amplitude distortion, where the relative strength of different frequency components is altered, and phase distortion, where the timing of different frequency components is shifted inconsistently. Nonlinear distortion occurs when the output signal is not a linear function of the input, leading to the generation of new, unwanted frequencies (harmonics and intermodulation products).
In digital signal processing, quantization error is a primary source of distortion. This occurs when an analog
