What is granular noise in a delta modulator?

  • A.The error introduced when the input changes too rapidly
  • B.The noise added by the channel between coder and decoder
  • C.The distortion caused by an inadequate reconstruction filter
  • D.Hunting about a constant input by one step

Answer: D

With a steady input the modulator alternates up and down by one step, producing an idling pattern heard as granular noise. The error on a rapidly changing input is slope overload, the opposite failure. Channel noise and filter distortion are external to the coder. The two defects pull the step size in opposite directions - larger to avoid overload, smaller to reduce granularity - which is precisely why adaptive step sizing was invented. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a formula, is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
