  • Abstract
    In this paper the basic equations for evaluating the power of harmonic and intermodulation distortions due to requantization (rounding or truncation) of fixed-point numbers are derived. In contrast to the papers of Abuelma´atti and Blachman it is shown that not only odd harmonics and intermodulation products but also even ones are produced. Special emphasis is given to the analysis of the DC error introduced by two´s complement rounding. Some ways to circumvent this DC error are suggested
