AI Thread Summary
Good sources for understanding one-dimensional signal decimation include both books and online resources that cover the theory and practical applications. The discussion emphasizes the importance of filtering before downsampling to avoid aliasing, as well as the memory efficiency of implementing FIR filters. It suggests that a combined approach of delaying the signal and applying FIR coefficients can achieve effective decimation. The user is encouraged to research further online for detailed explanations and examples. Understanding these concepts is crucial for coding a decimation function in MATLAB or C.

Can anybody tell a few good sources for 1dimentional signal decimation? Either books or URLs?

I know how to use the "decimate" function in MATLAB thus perform decimation, but my goal is to code a function in MATLAB (or C) to perform the same process. That is why I need the theory behind decimation.

Thanks

i don't know your application but in decimation filtering and down sampling is perform in a paralle way . suppose if we down sample first and then we will filter with low pass filter we have to face alising while if we do filtering first then down sample then also it its useless as we have to spend a lots of memory to store the FIR data so what we do is every time when we delay signal by one sample,we down sample it and multiply it with FIR coeeficient in this way we acchieve both the things

y(n)=[N-1]\sum[i=1]h(i)*X(Mn-i);

i know its a bit confussing but try to google
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
