Abstract

A signal processing system (10) is provided for digitally filtering an input digital signal. The signal processing system (10) includes a digital filter (12) without normal finite precision arithmetic whose output is applied to an adaptive quantizer (14). The output of the adoptive quantizer (14) includes a digital signal having a number of bits per sample which is less than or equal to the number of bits per sample contained in the output of the digital filter (12).
