So if I understand correctly, its a situation where what would seem to be ideal on paper is problematic as far as implementation because of the side effects of distortion and aliasing. So dither cures these problems at the expense of the noise floor by somehow either correcting the quantization error or rendering it harmless. So what would be stairstep errors in voltage are smoothed over by dither and thus the resolution of the system in the higher levels becomes, for all practical purposes, perfect. Is that an essentially correct oversimplification? Garth~ "I think the fact that music can come up a wire is a miracle." Ed Cherney |
