| English term or phrase: Sample rate conversion (SRC) | The sampling rate, sample rate, or sampling frequency defines the number of samples per second (or per other unit) taken from a continuous signal to make a discrete signal. For time-domain signals, it can be measured in samples per second (S/s),[1] or hertz (Hz).[2] The inverse of the sampling frequency is the sampling period or sampling interval, which is the time between samples.[3]
The concept of sampling frequency can only be applied to samplers in which samples are taken periodically. Some samplers may sample at a non-periodic rate. |
