The Trick is “<strong>Noise</strong> <strong>Shaping</strong>”<br />

• This method of making the error average out to zero is<br />

called “<strong>Noise</strong> <strong>Shaping</strong>”<br />

– It is so called because it does not just ignore the quantization<br />

and gives you back a penny every now and again to stop<br />

the error accumulating<br />
