Abstract
Abstract A digital signal processing arrangement including a wave digital filter having quantizing means for limiting the signal waves present to a predetermined word length by means of controlled rounding. "Controlled rounding" means that a limit-cycle-free output signal is obtained when a constant input signal is present. If the outgoing signal waves from the N-port adaptor are equal to b o (j,k), and the signal waves applied to the adaptor are equal to a(j,k), b(j,k) is equal the desired and quantized value of b o (j,k), where j represents the number of the port, then the process of controlled rounding quantizes b o (j,k) in such a way that ##EQU1## Here the c(i,j) represent constant coefficients, and r the number of independent information signal waves.
