| | Sample rate conversion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | The D-to-A converter produces a piecewise constant (staircase-type) waveform, and by increasing the sampling rate, a better approximation (with smaller steps) to the original analog signal is obtained. |
 | | For example, the sampling rate for studio work is 48 kHz, whereas that for CD production is 44.1 kHz and the broadcast rate, in turn, is 32 kHz. |
 | | The obvious way to perform the rate conversion would be to first convert the discrete-time signal into a continuous-time signal and then resample it at the required rate. |
