Quantization processs In a quantization process what happens when the signal range is more than the quantizer range?
Suppose i have a sinusoidal signal which ranges from -5 to +5 but the quantizer which has four levels ranges from -3 to 3.now for the samples which are greater than 3 and less than -3 what will happen?
In a typical quantization like that seen in an ADC the output would saturate any value &gt; 3 to 3 (also known as clipping). Note that if you're considering a software quantization, it's also possible that some quantizers (although IMO poorly designed ones) could cause out of range values to wrap around and switch signs.
