A
  • Aliasing Aliasing is a distortion that occurs when a signal is sampled at a rate insufficient to uniquely represent its frequency content, causing fr...
D
  • Decimation Decimation is the process of reducing the sample rate of a discrete-time signal by retaining one out of every M samples, where M is the inte...
I
  • Interpolation Interpolation is the process of increasing the sample rate of a discrete-time signal by inserting new samples between existing ones, typical...
N
  • Nyquist Rate The Nyquist rate is the minimum sampling frequency required to represent a bandlimited signal without aliasing: it equals twice the highest ...
O
  • Oversampling Oversampling is the practice of sampling or processing a signal at a rate significantly higher than the Nyquist rate (at least twice the sig...
P
  • Polyphase Filter A polyphase filter refers to the multirate filter structure obtained by decomposing a prototype FIR filter (or, less commonly, an IIR filter...
S
  • Sampling Rate Sampling rate (also sample rate or sampling frequency, commonly denoted Fs) is the number of samples taken per second from a continuous-time...
  • Sigma-Delta Modulation Sigma-delta modulation (also called delta-sigma modulation) is a technique for converting analog signals to digital (or digital to analog) b...
