Abstract
Systems based on fixed-point arithmetic, when carefully designed, seem to behave as theirinfinite precision analogues. Most often, however, this is only a macroscopic impression: finiteword-lengths inevitably approximate the reference behavior introducing quantization errors, andconfine the macroscopic correspondence to a restricted range of input values. Understandingthese differences is crucial to design optimized fixed-point implementations that will behave ?asexpected? upon deployment. Thus, in this chapter, we survey the main approaches proposed inliterature to model the impact of finite precision in fixed-point systems. In particular, we focus onthe rounding errors introduced after reducing the number of least-significant bits in signals andcoefficients during the so-called quantization process.
