Abstract
We now turn to a theoretical study of the most important practical source coding system: uniform quantization. This example provides a guinea pig for several of the theoretical bounds and approximations of this book. We shall see that some of the aysmptotic theory provides useful insight into the quality of simple scalar quantization, but that other aspects of the theory can be extremely misleading if they are applied carelessly to systems violating the basic conditions required for the approximation arguments to hold.
