What is the resolution to cover a range of numbers xmax-xmin with ‘b’ number of bits?(a) (xmax+xmin)/(2^b-1)(b) (xmax+xmin)/(2^b+1)(c) (xmax-xmin)/(2^b-1)(d) (xmax-xmin)/(2^b+1)The question was asked during an interview.Question is taken from Representation of Numbers topic in portion Discrete Time Systems Implementation of Digital Signal Processing |
Answer» CORRECT ANSWER is (C) (xmax-xmin)/(2^b-1) The best explanation: A fixed point REPRESENTATION of numbers allows us to cover a range of numbers, say, xmax-xmin with a resolution Δ=(xmax-xmin)/(m-1) where m=2^b is the number of levels and ‘b’ is the number of bits. |
