Homework Assignment 8 Due: 16:00pm Tuesday, March. 28, 2023
Problem 1. The value of a message signal varies within [−5, 5].
(a) Design a 5-level uniform quantizer for the message by specifying the quantization regions and quantization levels.
(b) The following sequence of message samples is input to the quantizer: {−2.3, 1.7, 4.2, −0.6, 1.4}. Find the output of the quantizer you designed in Part (a).
Problem 2. A message sample is distributed according to a triangular PDF as follows m4 +12 m∈[−2,0]
fM(m)= −m4 +12 m∈(0,2] . It is quantized using the 2-level (binary) uniform quantizer
