Designing a DPCM encoder and decoder with a Quantization being either Mid-Rise or Mid-Tread

Hello,

I want to desing a DPCM encoder and decoder, and I need it to be more flexible in terms of Applications.

Thus, I want the Qunatization to be toggled to be either Mid-Rise or Mid-Tread. And, the Predictator to be either first order or second order based on the user's choice. I am still quite lost on how to do it, thus I would apprechiate any guidance.

Hi Abdelrhman,

It is my understanding that you are working on Differential Pulse Code Modulation technique and wants to know how the quantization to be implemented either in Mid-Rise or Mid-Tread. Please refer to the below documentation to know about DPCM and ‘quantiz’ function as these are essential for implementing them.

Refer to the below code for implementing Mid-Rise uniform quantization.

% Sample signal 
x = [-3.5 -2.5 -0.9 1.3 2.6]; 

% Set number of quantization levels 
N = 8; 

% Set quantization step size 
Delta = 1 ; 

% Set quantization levels for midrise quantizer 
L = linspace(-4+(Delta/2),4-(Delta/2),N); 

% Perform midrise quantization 
x_quantized = quantiz(x, L, Delta); 

% Display results 
disp("Original Signal: "); 
disp(x); 
disp("Midrise Quantizer Levels: "); 
disp(L); 
disp("Quantized Signal: "); 
disp(x_quantized); 

To toggle between Mid-Rise and Mid-Thread, you can use conditional statements to implement the quantizer.
