This is a term from the field of Quantum Mechanics which describes how the plane of an orbiting electron, in an atom, can only have a certain number of orientations. For example; if you take a vertical line as the center of the orbit, then the plane of the orbit might be perpendicular to the vertical line. Or it might be tilted 30 degrees from the vertical. Or it might be tilted 60 degrees from the vertical. Whatever the allowed angles might be, the idea is no other angles are allowed. So rather then a "continous" range of allowed angles, there are instead only a few "quantized" allowed values. Since this quantization refers to orientations in space it is called "space quantization".

Why do not you observe space quantization for a spinning top?

The spinning top does not show space quantization because the system of a spinning top is not quantized in the same way as fundamental particles like electrons. The motion of the top is dominated by classical mechanics, where continuous values of position and momentum are used to describe its behavior, rather than the discrete energy levels and quantization seen in quantum systems.


What is quantization range?

Quantization range refers to the range of values that can be represented by a quantization process. In digital signal processing, quantization is the process of mapping input values to a discrete set of output values. The quantization range determines the precision and accuracy of the quantization process.

What is mid riser quantization?

Mid riser quantization is a type of quantization scheme used in analog-to-digital conversion where the input signal range is divided into equal intervals, with the quantization levels located at the midpoints of these intervals. This approach helps reduce quantization error by evenly distributing the error across the positive and negative parts of the signal range.


What is the relationship between quantisation noise and bandwidth in pcm systems?

Quantization noise is a model of quantization error introduced by quantization in the analog-to-digital conversion(ADC) in telecommunication systems and signal processing.


Sampling frequency doubles then quantization noise?

What are advantages of vector quantization?

Vector quantization lowers the bit rate of the signal being quantized thus making it more bandwidth efficient than scalar quantization. But this however contributes to it's implementation complexity (computation and storage).
