Quantizing a Signal

Scalar quantization is a process that maps all inputs within a specified range to a common value. It maps inputs in a different range of values to a different common value. In effect, scalar quantization digitizes an analog signal. Two parameters determine a quantization: a partition and a codebook. This section describes how to represent these parameters. It also shows, via examples, how to use the partition and codebook with the quantiz function.
