Removing the Noise from the Quantization Process by Dithering: Linearization.
ResearchPublished 1963
A treatment of the linearization of the highly important multistep quantizer nonlinearity by the application of independent quantizer activators called dithers. The properties of the sinusoidal and sawtooth waves as quantizer linearizers are developed in detail; it is shown that the sawtooth is superior to the more popular sinusoid in most important respects.
