Chapter 16 Flashcards
A method of reporting the extent to which a signal can vary and still be accurately measured.
• “number of available choices”
Dynamic range
Units for dynamic range
Decibels
Weak signals are _ the systems threshold
Below
Signals that at too strong _ the system
Saturate
_ keeps the signals in a range of accurate measurement.
Dynamic range
Individual components of of a system have different
Different ranges
Individual components of of a system have different
Different ranges
As a general rule, the dynamic range of information _ the more it is processed
Decreased
Components _(such as _) process data with the widest dynamic range.
