Real-Time Digital Signal Processing - Chapter 3: DSP Fundamentals and Implementation Considerations
The derivation of discrete-time systems is based on the assumption that the signal and system parameters have infinite precision. However, most digital systems, filters, and algorithms are implemented on digital hardware with finite wordlength. Therefore DSP implementation with fixed-point hardware requires special attention because of the potential quantization and arithmetic errors, as well as the possibility of overflow.
