SIMULATION OF ERRORS IN FLOATING-POINT DSP CALCULATIONS

Vilmos Pálfi, István Kollár

Abstract

Quantization errors like ADC errors and roundoff errors are similar in the sense that they are difficult to analyze and predict, and therefore need careful tests/measurements. This paper discusses the possibilities of the simulation of single-precision floating-point roundoff errors. It illustrates the examination of the error and discusses it in one of the most common signal processing procedures, the fast Fourier Transform. It shows a case when spurious spectral peaks appear due to roundoff error.
