Repeat Problem 1 above for a different quantizer Q(x) that truncates x to the next lower integer


  • I used the matlab command "Fix" for this problem, but unsure about the "next lower integer" part.

Does this mean to always round down AND subtract one? Thanks --Mlo 19:45, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


I think it is always "round down" but not subtract one. Just round down. --Kim415 09:50, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

  • That's correct. This means that 7.6 and 7.2 are both quantized to 7. --Mboutin 12:11, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Although it is never directly said that we need the plots in the homework (it just says to plot so-and-so and then observe/comment), is it implied that the plots be attached in the homework we turn in? This question applies to both parts uno and dos. --vhsieh 12:14, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

  • Yes, print and attach all plots. --Mboutin 12:30, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
