  Abstract

The paper derives asymptotic formulas for the MSE distortion and the signal-to-noise ratio of a mismatched fixed-rate minimum MSE Laplacian quantizer. These closed-form formulas are expressed in terms of the number Ν of quantization points, the mean displacement μ, and the ratio ρ of the standard deviation of the source to that for which the quantizer is optimally designed. Numerical results show that the principal formula is accurate in that, for rate R=?₂Ν≥6, it predicts signal-to-noise ratios within 1% of the true values for a wide range of μ and ρ. The new findings herein include the fact that, for heavy variance mismatch of ρ>3/2, the signal-to-noise ratio increases at the rate of g/p ㏈/bit, which is slower than the usual 6 ㏈/bit, and the fact that an optimal uniform quantizer, though optimally designed, is slightly more than critically mismatched to the source. It is also found that signal-to-noise ratio loss due to μ is moderate. The derived formulas can be useful in quantization of speech or music signals, which are modeled well as Laplacian sources and have changing short-term variances.
