The beta encoder was recently proposed as a quantization scheme for analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion; in contrast to classical binary quantization, in which each analog sample xisin[-1, 1] is mapped to the first N bits of its base-2 expansion, beta encoders replace each sample x with its expansion in a base beta between 1<beta<2. This expansion is nonunique when 1<beta<2, and the beta encoder exploits this redundancy to correct inevitable errors made by the quantizer component of its circuit… Expand
