This is about Eq.(3) of [Candy'92]. Basically, I keep asking myself why the sampled quantized noise spectral density is given by
where the quantization noise is a white process with the following RMS value:
[Candy'92] explains that due to sampling, the noise power folds into the frequency band
However, I have to find a self-convincing explanation.
Here is how I understand the impact of oversampling on quantization noise:
1- we should consider a LPF with the bandwidth of
2- the sampling/quantization system is as follows [x denotes the instantaneous quantization noise]:
x--|sampler|--|LPF: h[n]|--y
3- Auto-covariance of LPF output is given by:
4- for a ideal LPF with f_0 = f_s/2, we have
5- Consequently the density of the quantization noise, which spreads over
is given by
