Quantizer

Purpose

Apply uniform quantization to input signal

Library

Control / Discontinuous

Description

../../_images/quantizer.svg

The Quantizer maps the input signal to an integer multiple of the quantization interval:

\[y = q \cdot \mathrm{round}\left(\frac{u}{q}\right)\]

Parameters

Quantization interval

The quantum \(q\) used in the mapping function.

Step detection

When set to on, the Quantizer produces a zero-crossing signal that enables the solver to detect the precise instants, at which the output needs to change. This may be necessary when quantizing a continuous signal.

When set to off, the Quantizer will not influence the step size of the solver.

Probe Signals

Input

The input signal.

Output

The output signal.
