Abstract

Quantization noise of nonadaptive Linear Delta Modulation(LDM) and adaptive Constant Factor Delta Modulation(CFDM) systems is studied. The formulas for quantization noise of CFDM system are derived on the basis of the rusults of LDM. And the output signal-to-quantization noise ratios(SNR) in LDM and CFDM systems are calculated in the range of bit rates from 16[Kb/s] to 96[Kb/s]. By comparing LDM and CFDM, it is known that the adaptive DM is superior to non-adaptive DM by 8[dB] when bit rate is 20[Kb/s] and SNR advantage increases to 14[dB] when bit rate is 56[Kb/s]. All the theoretical results agree well with the experimental results.

本 論文에서는 델타變調(Delta Modualation:DM) 符號器의 入力에 音聲帶域信號를 使用하였을 때 非適應形인 線形變調方式(Linear Delta) Modulation:DOM)과 適應形인 一定係數變調方式(Constant Factor Delta Modulation:CFDM)을 比較하였다. 샘플링레이트(sampling rate)를 16~96kb/s로 變化시키면서 測定, 比較한 結果 20kb/s에서는 適應形이 非適應形보다 信號對量子化雜音比(Signal-to-Quantization Noise Ratio:SQNR)가 8〔dB〕改善되었고 60kb/s에서는 平均 14〔dB〕정도 改善되었다. 특히 雜音이 없는 理想的 채널에서는 最大 SQNR이 거의 비슷하고 CFDM이 LDM보다 넓은 다이나믹범위(Dynamic range)를 가지나 雜音이 있는 채널에서는 CFDM의 誤差率이 증가하여 SQNR이 떨어진다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
