96 Input can be generally assumed to be white noise.For unit-variance white noise input,variance at node x is given by: -∑f0 (11.5) /scaling is commonly used because most input signals can be assumed to be white noise. (11.5)is a variance (not a strict bound),there is a possibility of overflow. We can increase 6 in (11.3)to prevent possible overflow. But increasing o will decrease SNR (signal-to-noise ratio). Thus,there is a trade-off between overflow and round-off noise. 2021年2月 6

2021年2月 7 11.2.2 Round-off Noise Product of two W-bit fixed-point fractions is a (2W-1) bit number. This product must eventually be quantized to W-bits by rounding or truncation, which results in round-off noise
966 Example: Consider the 1st-order IIR filter. Assume that the input wordlength W=8 bits,and the multiplier coefficient wordlength is also 8 bits. To maintain full precision in the output,we need to increase the output wordlength by 8 bits per iteration. This is clearly infeasible. Thus,the result needs to be rounded or a 15-bits 8-bits truncated to its nearest 8-bit representation. This introduces a round-u(n) D x(n) off noise e(n). 8-bits 2021年2月 8
