Processing
• Many application need different sampling rate
Ex: Digital audio - 32 kHz in broadcasting
- 44.1 kHz in Digital CD
- 48 kHz in Digital Audio Tape

Up-Sampler
Time-Domain Characterization
• An up-sampler with an up-sampling factor
L, where L is a positive integer, develops an
output sequence xu [n] with a sampling rate
that is L times larger than that of the input
sequence x[n]
• Block-diagram representation
x[n] L xu [n ]

Up-Sampler
• Up-sampling operation is implemented by
inserting L 1 equidistant zero-valued
samples between two consecutive samples
of x[n]
• Input-output relation
x[n / L], n 0, L, 2 L,
xu [n]
0, otherwise

Up-Sampler
• In practice, the zero-valued samples
inserted by the up-sampler are replaced
with appropriate nonzero values using some
type of filtering process
• Process is called interpolation and will be
discussed later

Down-Sampler
Time-Domain Characterization
• An down-sampler with a down-sampling
factor M, where M is a positive integer,
develops an output sequence y[n] with a
sampling rate that is (1/M)-th of that of the
input sequence x[n]
• Block-diagram representation
x[n] M y[n]
7
Down-Sampler
• Down-sampling operation is implemented
by keeping every M-th sample of x[n] and
removing M 1 in-between samples to
generate y[n]
• Input-output relation
y[n] = x[nM]
