UpsamplingIn digital signal processing, upsampling, expansion, and interpolation are terms associated with the process of resampling in a multi-rate digital signal processing system. Upsampling can be synonymous with expansion, or it can describe an entire process of expansion and filtering (interpolation). When upsampling is performed on a sequence of samples of a signal or other continuous function, it produces an approximation of the sequence that would have been obtained by sampling the signal at a higher rate (or density, as in the case of a photograph).
Sample-rate conversionSample-rate conversion, sampling-frequency conversion or resampling is the process of changing the sampling rate or sampling frequency of a discrete signal to obtain a new discrete representation of the underlying continuous signal. Application areas include and audio/visual systems, where different sampling rates may be used for engineering, economic, or historical reasons. For example, Compact Disc Digital Audio and Digital Audio Tape systems use different sampling rates, and American television, European television, and movies all use different frame rates.
Filter bankIn signal processing, a filter bank (or filterbank) is an array of bandpass filters that separates the input signal into multiple components, each one carrying a single frequency sub-band of the original signal. One application of a filter bank is a graphic equalizer, which can attenuate the components differently and recombine them into a modified version of the original signal.
Échantillonnage (signal)L'échantillonnage consiste à prélever les valeurs d'un signal à intervalles définis, généralement réguliers. Il produit une suite de valeurs discrètes nommées échantillons. L'application la plus courante de l'échantillonnage est aujourd'hui la numérisation d'un signal variant dans le temps, mais son principe est ancien. Depuis plusieurs siècles, on surveille les mouvements lents en inscrivant, périodiquement, les valeurs relevées dans un registre : ainsi des hauteurs d'eau des marées ou des rivières, de la quantité de pluie.
Domaine fréquentielLe domaine fréquentiel se rapporte à l'analyse de fonctions mathématiques ou de signaux physiques manifestant une fréquence. Alors qu'un graphe dans le domaine temporel présentera les variations dans l'allure d'un signal au cours du temps, un graphe dans le domaine fréquentiel montrera quelle proportion du signal appartient à telle ou telle bande de fréquence, parmi plusieurs bancs. Une représentation dans le domaine fréquentiel peut également inclure des informations sur le décalage de phase qui doit être appliqué à chaque sinusoïde afin de reconstruire le signal en domaine temporel.
Nyquist rateIn signal processing, the Nyquist rate, named after Harry Nyquist, is a value (in units of samples per second or hertz, Hz) equal to twice the highest frequency (bandwidth) of a given function or signal. When the function is digitized at a higher sample rate (see ), the resulting discrete-time sequence is said to be free of the distortion known as aliasing. Conversely, for a given sample-rate the corresponding Nyquist frequency in Hz is one-half the sample-rate.
Time–frequency analysisIn signal processing, time–frequency analysis comprises those techniques that study a signal in both the time and frequency domains simultaneously, using various time–frequency representations. Rather than viewing a 1-dimensional signal (a function, real or complex-valued, whose domain is the real line) and some transform (another function whose domain is the real line, obtained from the original via some transform), time–frequency analysis studies a two-dimensional signal – a function whose domain is the two-dimensional real plane, obtained from the signal via a time–frequency transform.
Time–frequency representationA time–frequency representation (TFR) is a view of a signal (taken to be a function of time) represented over both time and frequency. Time–frequency analysis means analysis into the time–frequency domain provided by a TFR. This is achieved by using a formulation often called "Time–Frequency Distribution", abbreviated as TFD. TFRs are often complex-valued fields over time and frequency, where the modulus of the field represents either amplitude or "energy density" (the concentration of the root mean square over time and frequency), and the argument of the field represents phase.
Interpolation polynomialeEn mathématiques, en analyse numérique, l'interpolation polynomiale est une technique d'interpolation d'un ensemble de données ou d'une fonction par un polynôme. En d'autres termes, étant donné un ensemble de points (obtenu, par exemple, à la suite d'une expérience), on cherche un polynôme qui passe par tous ces points, p(xi) = yi, et éventuellement vérifie d'autres conditions, de degré si possible le plus bas. Cependant, dans le cas de l'interpolation lagrangienne, par exemple, le choix des points d'interpolation est critique.
Bloqueur d'ordre zéroThe zero-order hold (ZOH) is a mathematical model of the practical signal reconstruction done by a conventional digital-to-analog converter (DAC). That is, it describes the effect of converting a discrete-time signal to a continuous-time signal by holding each sample value for one sample interval. It has several applications in electrical communication. A zero-order hold reconstructs the following continuous-time waveform from a sample sequence x[n], assuming one sample per time interval T: where is the rectangular function.
Interpolation lagrangienneEn analyse numérique, les polynômes de Lagrange, du nom de Joseph-Louis Lagrange, permettent d'interpoler une série de points par un polynôme qui passe exactement par ces points appelés aussi nœuds. Cette technique d'interpolation polynomiale a été découverte par Edward Waring en 1779 et redécouverte plus tard par Leonhard Euler en 1783. C'est un cas particulier du théorème des restes chinois. On se donne n + 1 points (avec les xi distincts deux à deux).
Downsampling (signal processing)In digital signal processing, downsampling, compression, and decimation are terms associated with the process of resampling in a multi-rate digital signal processing system. Both downsampling and decimation can be synonymous with compression, or they can describe an entire process of bandwidth reduction (filtering) and sample-rate reduction. When the process is performed on a sequence of samples of a signal or a continuous function, it produces an approximation of the sequence that would have been obtained by sampling the signal at a lower rate (or density, as in the case of a photograph).
