Multirate Signal Processing

Decimation, interpolation, downsampling, upsampling, antialiasing filter

Resample uniform or nonuniform data to a new fixed rate. Perform decimation and linear or higher-order interpolation without introducing aliasing.

Topics

Downsampling — Aliasing

Aliasing is the distortion that occurs when copies of a signal's spectrum overlap. Downsampling can introduce aliasing.

Filtering Before Downsampling

Filter before downsampling to mitigate the distortion caused by aliasing.

Upsampling — Imaging Artifacts

Upsample a signal and see how upsampling can result in images.

Filtering After Upsampling — Interpolation

Upsample a signal and apply a lowpass interpolation filter to remove imaging artifacts.

Simulate a Sample-and-Hold System

Simulate the output of a sample-and-hold system by upsampling and filtering a signal.

Resampling

Decimate, interpolate, or change the sample rate of signals, with or without intermediate filtering.

Change Signal Sample Rate

Change the sample rates of a sinusoid and a recorded speech sample.

Multirate Filter Bank Implementation

Implement filter banks using the upfirdn function.
