What is the step size or the resolution of an A/D converter?(a) Δ = (R)/2^(b+1)(b) Δ = (R)/2^(b-1)(c) Δ = (R)/3^(b+1)(d) Δ = (R)/2I have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.I want to ask this question from Quantization and Coding in division Sampling and Reconstruction of Signals of Digital Signal Processing

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) Δ = (R)/2^(b+1)

Explanation: The coding process in an A/D CONVERTER assigns a unique binary NUMBER to each quantization level. If we have L levels, we need at least L different binary numbers. With a word length of b + 1 bits we can represent 2^b+1 distinct binary numbers. Hence we should have 2^(b+1) > L or, equivalently, b + 1 > LOG2 L. Then the step size or the RESOLUTION of the A/D converter is given by

Δ = (R)/2^(b+1), where R is the range of the quantizer.
