Anti-Aliasing filter considerations
I am reading part of a book on this - basic stuff really. The
attenuation required so that any aliasing is less than the
quantisation error (r.m.s) voltage is given by
As>20Log10{max rms passband level/min rms stopband level}
where max rms passband level = A/sqrt(2)
min rms stopband level = sigma = A/( 2^B*sqrt(12) )
where B = no of bits. Here the author uses the dynamic range to be A
but I think it should be 2A ie from +A to -A. His formula works out to
be
As = 20log10(2^B*sqrt(6)) whereas I have 20log10(2^(B-1) * sqrt(6) )
similarly later he describes the rms quantisation error wrt unity
volts as
1/(2^B*sqrt(12)) and for the same reason I think this should be
2/(2^B*sqrt(12))
where have I gone wrong?
Thanks
Tom
