Abstract-Effect of analog-to-digital converter (ADC) quantizationerrors on some periodic signal measurements, namely the 'de component and the amplitudes and phases of harmonically related sinusoids,are investigated. These parameters are determined via the Fast FourierTransform (FFT) algorithm, which is used for manipulating the quantized samples in a data-acquisition system.
Mean values and variances of the measured parameters are derived.Then, upper bounds on measurement errors for any confidence limitsand worst-case errors are obtained. Finally, the reduction of measurement errors is briefly discussed.
I. INTRODUCTION
ADC QUANTIZATION errors affect measurement ac. curacies in sampled-data-acquisition systems. For a
signal dynamic range of 2D (peak-to-peak) and a k-bitADC, the quantization step size ~ is equal to one leastsignificant bit (LSB) of the digital quantity, and given by

Effects of quantization on multiparameter signal measurements are of interest and importance to system designers. Accuracies of analog measurements have beeninvestigated [6] via the interpolated FFT along with floating-point arithmetic. The effects of noise and jitter on theestimation of power spectrum and frequency errors [7]have also been investigated. However, not much work hasbeen done to study the statistical properties of multiparameter signal measurement errors due to ADC quantization. It is the intention of this paper to fill some of thesegaps.
The paper starts by determining the mean values andvariances of amplitudes and phase angles and of the sinusoidal components, and the de component as well.Then, upper bounds on measurement errors of these parameters for any probability (confidence limit) will be determined . Worst-case measurement errors are also estimated. At the end two methods for reducing measurementerrors are suggested; the first is based on having a nonintegral average number of samples per cycle, and thesecond is based on employing dither.

The impact of digital signal processing on instrumentation systems has greatly increased in the last ten years.In a multiparameter signal measurement system, quantized data samples are processed via the FFT algorithm.Effects of sample quantization and finite word length onthe Fourier coefficients after a FFT have been extensivelyinvestigated in the literature [2]-[4] in terms of noise-tosignal power ratio (NSR) at the FFT output bins. The FFTalgorithm can be carried out exactly using today's computers; in other words, finite word-length effects will benegligible. Very recently [5], the effect of noise (e.g.,

Since e ( i ) and e ( j ) are uncorrelated for i =1= j, then thefirst term disappears. Also, E[ e2( h ) ] = a;, and N is typically a power of 2, thus, (9) reduces to
where SQ (m) is the m th quantized time-domain data sample given by (2). The DFT introduces a scale factor (N/2)for G(n), 1 :::; n -s N - 1, and a scale factor (N) forthe de coefficient G ( 0 ).
Solving (2) and (5) for the Fourier coefficients G(n), 1-s n :5 (N /2 ), the amplitudes and phase angles of thesinusoidal constituents are, respectively, given by

The means and variances of the measured parameters aredetermined as follows:
A. Amplitude Measurement
The amplitude Y of a sinusoidal component is given by

aXl = aX2 = ax = (N/2)·
For the generality of the analysis of the spectral constituents of the signal let us denote Y(n ), ell (n ), A (n ), B (n ),Xl (n), and X2(n) by Y, ell, A, B, Xl, and X2, respectively. Let us also denote the quantization-free amplitudeand phase by Yl and ell 1, respectively, i.e.,
(17)
From, (17) along with (3), (14), and (15) it can be shownthat
The next step would be to determine the variances ofXl (n) and X2(n). Since e(m), 0 -s m ~ N - 1, of (8)are uncorrelated, then
2 a; N~l 2 (27rnm)aXl(n) = 2 L.J cos --

Y = .J(A + X1)2 + (B - X2)2. (16)
Using (A3), the mean value of Y is given by
E(Y) ~ [Y + ~ (all a~;2 + a12 a~;2)ll .Xl,X2 =0
which indicates that E( Y) is biased. For an 8-bit bipolarADC with reference voltages of ±5.12 V, i.e., d = 40mV, the change of the normalized mean E ( Y) / Yl versusY l for different values of N is plotted in Fig. 2.
For a radix-2 FFT, the second term disappears, thus2
2 a e
aXl(n) = (N/2)·
Similarly, it can be shown that2
2 a e
aX2(n) = (N/2)·
Since (12) and (13) do not depend on the frequency indexn, let us denote ail (n) and ai2(n) by ail and ai2' respectively. We can thus define

Using (10) along with the fact that E [Xl (n )] = 0 andE[X2 (n)] = 0, we conclude that Xl (n) and X2 (n) areuncorrelated.

A complete knowledge of the statistical properties of themeasured parameters Y( n) and ell (n) would be possibleonly if the probability density functions (pdf's) of theseparameters are evaluated. However, this is very complicated because Y (n) and ell (n) are functions of two random variables Xl (n) and X2 (n ), which requires usingthe Jacobian Transformation [8]. An easier and still highlyaccurate approach to determine the Y ( n ) and ell ( n ) meansand variances, which are sufficient for most practical purposes, would utilize the Taylor series-based analysis givenin the appendix.
It should be noted that we first have to prove that Xl (n)and X2 (n) are uncorrelated, as follows:
E[X1(n) · X2(n)]

where A(n) and B(n) are the frequency-domain quantization-free deterministic real and imaginary parts, respectively, and Xl (n ) and X2 (n ) are random variables (RV' s)given by
1 N-l (27rnm)Xl(n) = (NI2) m~o e(m) · cos J:.I
1 N-l (27rnm)X2(n) = (NI2) m~o e(m) · sin J:.I

III. UPPER BOUNDS ON MEASUREMENT ERRORS
One of the ways for expressing measurement accuraciesis to determine the maximum probable measurement errors for any confidence limit (i.e., probability p). For ameasured parameter R (where R stands for Y, <1>, or DC )the exact value of this error €R is obtained from
B. Phase Measurement
The phase <I> of a sinusoidal component is given by
(B- X2)ep = tan -I A + Xl .
Using (A3) to find the mean value of <1>, it can be shownthat
which means that ay is independent of Y. When the biasof (18) is negligible, ay represents the root-mean-square(rms) amplitude error.

B. Worst-Case Measurement Errors
We start by calculating the worst-case values of Xl (n)and X2(n) of (8). Since the convolution of RV's produces a new RV whose range of values is the sum of theindividual ranges of the constituent RV's, then it can beshown that

It is obvious that by letting peR - ER < R < R + ER )

For example, we get C = 0.5d, 0.604d, 0.628d,0.636Id, 0.63659d for N = 4, 8, 16, 64, and 256, respectively. It can also be shown that the upper bound onC, when N is very large, for all n, is (2d/7r), i.e.,0.63662d. C will be used in the estimation of worst-casemeasurement errors as follows:
1) Worst-Case Amplitude Error Wy : From (16) and(AI), it can be shown that
This can be achieved via phase-locked loops or digitalfrequency multipliers [11].
In the special case when (N / M) is an integer, and assuming that all noise sources in the measuring system arenegligible compared to ADC quantization noise, thequantized data sequence will be (N / M) periodic, and(N / M) points will only be needed for the FFT, thus reducing measurement accuracies. Also, if some spectralcomponents are missing in the range 1 ~ n < (N /2) in(4), this reduces the randomness of quantization errors andconsequently reduces measurement accuracies. To illustrate this last problem with an example, let M = 1, i.e.,let N be the number of samples per cycle, and let the signal be just a single sinusoid. Thus

V. CONCLUSIONS
Effects of ADC quantization errors on measuring theamplitude and phase spectra of periodic signals containing a finite number of harmonically related sinusoids havebeen investigated. It was shown first that amplitude meansare biased, which slightly affects measuring amplitudesapproximately below ~, whereas phase means are unbiased. Then, it was interestingly shown that amplitudevariances are almost constant with changing amplitudes,while phase variances are inversely proportional to amplitudes. In both amplitude and phase measurements, theroot-mean-square error is directly proportional to ~, andinversely proportional to IN. Use was made of the abovevariances to determine upper bounds on measurement errors for a given confidence limit, i.e., probability p. Because of the meaningless upper bound obtained when p =I, approximate worst-case measurement errors were separately derived. All the above analysis has been appliedto the de component as well. Finally, two methods forreducing measurement errors were considered: one isbased on having a nonintegral average number of samplesper cycle, and the other is based on employing dither todecorrelate analogous samples from different cycles before temporally averaging them.
