Quantizers
R2026b Encoders, decoders, scalar and vector quantizers
DSP System Toolbox™ offers Simulink® blocks to implement quantizers, encoders, and decoders. A quantizer discretizes the input signal using a quantization algorithm. Encoder blocks perform data compression by encoding input data using different quantization techniques. Decoder blocks reconstruct the quantized floating-point values from the encoded integer input. To learn how to use scalar and vector quantizer blocks, see Scalar Quantizers and Vector Quantizers.
