Interpolation by
LL and decimation
by
MM can be combined to change the
effective sampling rate of a signal by the rational factor
LMLM
. This process is called
resampling or
sample-rate conversion. Rather than cascading an
anti-imaging filter for interpolation with an anti-aliasing
filter for decimation, we implement one filter with the minimum
of the two cutoffs
πLπML
M
and the multiplication of the two DC gains
(
LL and
11), as illustrated in
Figure 1.
