Which outcome occurs when excessive quantization occurs during digital signal processing in a wireless telecommunications system?

💡 Explanation

Excessive quantization increases the step size in the analog-to-digital conversion, leading to a greater difference between the original signal and its digital representation causing increased quantization noise. Therefore, signal fidelity drops, rather than dynamic range extension, because information is lost.
