Abstract

Quantization of a continuous-value signal into a
discrete form (or discretization of amplitude) is a standard task
in all analog/digital devices. We consider quantization of a
signal (or random process) in a probabilistic framework. The
quantization method presented in this paper can be applied to
signal coding and storage capacity problems. In order to
demonstrate a general approach, both uniform and non-uniform
quantization of a Gaussian process are studied in more detail and
compared with a conventional piecewise constant approximation. We
investigate asymptotic properties of some accuracy
characteristics, such as a random quantization rate, in terms of
the correlation structure of the original random process when
quantization cellwidth tends to zero. Some examples and numerical
experiments are presented.
