The quantization noise spectrum of a sinusoid in colored noise

The power density spectrum (PDS) of analog-to-digital (A/D) quantization noise is obtained for an input signal consisting of sinusoid and colored noise. While this type of quantization noise is often assumed to be uncorrelated or white, it may not be when the input signal occupies a relatively small number of quantization levels. Equations describing the PDS are derived and presented for combinations of deterministic and random A/D converter inputs
