Question

If the dynamic range of the signal is smaller than the range of quantizer, the samples that exceed the quantizer are clipped, resulting in large quantization error.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked in homework.

Asked question is from Quantization and Coding in division Sampling and Reconstruction of Signals of Digital Signal Processing

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) False

To explain I would say: If the dynamic range of the signal, defined as xmax-xmin, is larger than the range of the quantizer, the samples that exceed the quantizer range are clipped, resulting in a large (greater than \({\Delta}{2}\)) quantization error.
