quantizer

Pronunciation: [kwɒnˈtaɪzər]

Word

Context: "technology"

(noun) a device or system that converts a continuous signal into a discrete signal. It takes smooth, continuous information and breaks it into smaller, separate pieces. This is often used in digital electronics and signal processing.

Example

The quantizer reduced the audio signal into clear digital bits for better processing.

Example

Without a quantizer, the signals would remain continuous and harder to work with for computers.
