Summary: A sample-rate compressor removes (D-1) of every D input samples. A sample-rate expander inserts (U-1) zeros after every input sample.

In the exercises that follow, you will explore some of the
effects of multirate processing using the system

Later, you will implement the system and control the compression and expansion factors at runtime with an interface provided for you. You will be able to disable any or all of the filters to investigate multirate effects. What purpose do FIR 1 and FIR 3 serve, and what would happen in their absence?
