  • Abstract
    The effect of uniform quantization can often be modeled by an additive noise that is uniformly distributed, uncorrelated with the input signal, and has a white spectrum. This paper surveys the theory behind this model, and discusses the conditions of its validity. The application of the model to floating-point quantization is demonstrated
