Define slope overload noise and granular noise.
by

1 Answer

Answer :

Slope overload noise is introduced due to the use of a step size delta is too small To follow some portions of the waveform with a step size. 

 Granular noise results from using a step size that is too large in parts of the waveform having a small slope.
