What is the range of round-off error for a foxed point representation?(a) [-0.5(2^-b+2^-bm), 0.5(2^-b+2^-bm)](b) [0, (2^-b+2^-bm)](c) [0, (2^-b-2^-bm)](d) [-0.5(2^-b-2^-bm), 0.5(2^-b-2-bm^-bm)]The question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.Question is from Representation of Numbers in section Discrete Time Systems Implementation of Digital Signal Processing |
Answer» CORRECT CHOICE is (d) [-0.5(2^-b-2^-bm), 0.5(2^-b-2-bm^-bm)] EXPLANATION: The round-off error is independent of the type of FIXED point representation. The maximum error that can be introduced through rounding is 0.5(2^-b+2^-bm) and this can be either positive or NEGATIVE, depending on the value of x. Therefore, the round-off error is symmetric about zero and falls in the range [-0.5(2^-b-2^-bm), 0.5(2^-b-2-bm^-bm)]. |
