Question

1.(a) Consider sampling (quantizing, digitizing) analog temperatures. If you want the difference between each digital temperature to be no more than 0.095 degrees and you have 5 bits per sample, what is the largest temperature you can represent if the minimum temperature is 97 °F?

(b) Now consider sampling analog temperatures in the range from -916 to 581 °F. If you use 7 bits per sample, how many degrees F does a single sample bit represent? (In other words how much temperature is represented by going from one binary number to the next?)

Explanation / Answer

a)

number of bits =

total quantization states that can be represented using these 5-bits = 25 =32

since each state rep[resent a 0.095F raise

therefore total raise =0.095*32=3.04F

minimum temperature = 97F

therefore maximum temperature =97+3.04=100.04F

b)

range of temperatures = -916 to 581

therefore, the difference = 581+916=1497F

availabe bits =7

7 bits can represent 27 =128 states

we ivide total temperature range by the total quantization states to obtain the resoution( degrreF a sampe bit can represent)

= 1497/128=11.69F
