Mean of quantization error

Syntax

m = errmean(q)

Description

m = errmean(q) returns the mean of a uniformly distributed random quantization error that arises from quantizing a signal by quantizer object q.

Note

The results are not exact when the signal precision is close to the precision of the quantizer.

Find the mean of the quantization error for the quantizer object q.

q = quantizer;
m = errmean(q)
m = 
-1.5259e-05

Compare this result to the sample mean from a Monte Carlo experiment.

r = realmax(q);
u = 2*r*rand(1000,1)-r;  % Original signal
y = quantize(q,u);       % Quantized signal
e = y - u;               % Error
m_est = mean(e)          % Estimate of the error mean
m_est = 
-1.5028e-05
