Multirate digital signal
processing
• The rapid development of multirate digital
signal processing is complemented by the
emergence of new applications. These
include subband coding of speech, audio,
and video signals, multicarrier data
transmission, fast transforms using digital
filter banks and discrete wavelet analysis of
all types of signals.

2
 Multirate algorithms
• A key characteristic of multirate algorithms
is their high computational efficiency. In
many cases, these algorithms are the prime
reason that an application can now be
implemented economically using modern
digital signal processors

3
 1 Sampling Rate Conversion
• Many different sampling rates in the
system
 Reduction of computational complexity.

• What happens when the sampling rate is

changed?

 1.1.1 Discrete sampling

Discrete signals are often described using the

complex number
W M
 exp (-j2/M)  M 1 (1.1)
This is one of the M different M-th roots of 1,
since W M  1

 1.2.1 Downsampling
The sampling rate of a discrete signal x(n) is
reduced by a factor M by taking only every
M-th value of the signal. The relationship between
the resulting signal y(m) and
the original signal x(n) is as follows:
y(m) = x(mM) (1.34)

process:

representation using discrete sampling
function w M (n) and leaving out the zeroes.

the original signal,

i.e. for λ  0 . Substituting M  2 into (1.70), we obtain

the spectrum :

This spectrum is shown in fig 1.15b. The two sum terms

combine to form a real spectrum with a period Ω  π
or Ω  2ππrespctivly. This result is seen to be compatible
with having a phase offest λ  0 and having reduced the
sampling rate by afactor of 2 (see section 1.2.2).

This is displayed in Fig 1.15c. Comparing (1.72) with (1.73)
or Fig.1.15b with fig 1.15c reveals that two spectra
have the same magnitude, but that with a phase
offest λ  1 the two sum terms have opposite signs .
As a result, the spectrum of ~x (m) has a period
(p)
1

Ω  2π or Ω  4π . Introducing a phase offset

λ  0 does not affect the period of the spectrum.
It is evdent that this is always true.
