What is “dither” with respect to analog-to-digital converters?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. A small amount of noise added to the input signal to reduce quantization noise
Dither is a small amount of noise deliberately added to an ADC input. It randomizes quantization errors so they become less noticeable and less like distortion.
Tip: Dither: add a little noise to hide quantization noise.
