Which impairment increases if digital signal processing uses insufficient quantization bits during down-conversion within a software-defined radio receiver?

💡 Explanation

Adjacent channel interference increases because insufficient quantization amplifies folding distortion during down-conversion creating spectral artifacts, therefore leading to energy spilling into adjacent channels, rather than allowing precise signal isolation at lower bit depths.
