The dynamic range of a signal V is the ratio of the maximum Vmax
to the minimum Vmin, expressed in decibels. The dynamic range
expected in a signal is to some extent an expression of the signal
quality. It also dictates the number of bits per sample needed in
order to reduce the quantization noise down to an acceptable level;
e.g., we may like to reduce the noise to at least an order of
magnitude below Vmin. Suppose the dynamic range for a signal is 60
dB. Can we use 10 bits for this signal? Can we use 16 bits?
