In experimental setups of Gaussian modulation continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD), the amplitude and phase of coherent states will be modulated and discretized due to the finite resolution of voltages that drive electro-optical modulators, resulting in Gaussian modulation discretization. We demonstrate that the impact of discretization on CV-QKD can be described as a multiplicative coefficient experimentally and modeled as a preparation noise imposed on ideal Gaussian modulation theoretically. To obtain an accurate
