Analysis of errors in quantization of Weyl-Heisenberg frame expansions and oversampled A/D conversion
Zoran Cvetković · 2002
Manifestations of robustness of overcomplete expansions, acquired as a result of the redundancy, have been observed for two primary sources of degradation: white additive noise and quantization. These two cases require different treatments since quantization error has a certain structure which is obscured by statistical analysis. The central issue of this paper is a deterministic approach to quantization error analysis, with a focus on redundant Weyl-Heisenberg expansions in L/sup 2/(R). This analysis demonstrates that overcomplete expansions exhibit a higher degree of robustness to quantization error than to a white additive noise, and indicates how this additional robustness can be exploited for improvement of representation accuracy. Further, it shows that under reasonable assumptions quantization error in Weyl-Heisenberg frame expansions can be reduced as /spl par/e/spl par//sup 2/=O(1/r/sup 2/), where r is the frame redundancy factor.
