Input Deflection Requirements for Quantizers Followed by Greatest-of Device and Integrator.

Abstract

Derivations and programs are presented for evaluation of the required input deflection, for specified output deflection, of a system composed of quantizers followed by a Greatest-Of device and an integrator. The important parameters are: L, the number of levels in each quantizer (along with their breakpoints and step heights); M, the number of statistically independent samples summed in the integrator; N, the number of statistically independent input channels; and d sub o, the system output deflection. Several numerical examples are presented. Extension of some earlier results for a system without quantizers is also made, and additional results given. (Author)
