Universal coding of band-limited sources by sampling and dithered quantization

The authors analyze a scheme for encoding continuous time band-limited signals in which the input is sampled at Nyquist´s rate or faster, the samples undergo dithered uniform or lattice quantization and the quantizer output is entropy coded. This analysis leads to explicit expressions for the trade-off between sampling rate and quantization accuracy. Also, they provide expression for the scheme´s redundancy (i.e. its excess rate over the rate distortion function) in terms of the both the sampling rate and quantization resolution parameters.<>
