Introduction

This slecture provides definition of downsampling, derives DTFT  downsampled signal and demonstrates it in a frequency domain. Also, it explains process of decimation and why it needs a low-pass filter.

Definition of Downsampling

Downsampling is an operation which involves throwing away samples from discrete-time signal. Let  x[n] be a digital-time signal shown below:

 then y[n] will be produced by downsampling x [n]  by factor D = 3. So, y [n] = x[Dn].

As seen in above graph, y [n] is obtained by throwing away some samples from x [n]. So, y [n] is a downsampled signal from

x [n].

Derivation of DTFT of downsampled signal

Let x (t) be a continuous time signal. Then x₁ [n] = x (T₁n) and  x₂ [n] = x (T₂n). And ratio of sampling periods would be

D = T₂/T₁,   which is an integer greater than 1. From these equations we obtain realtionship between x₁ [n] and x₂ [n].

$ \begin{align} x_2 [n] = x(T_2 n) = x(DT_1 n) = x_1 [nD] \end{align} $

Below we derive Discrete-Time Fourier Transform of x₂ [n] in terms of DTFT of x₁ [n].

$ \begin{align} &\mathcal{X}_2(\omega)= \mathcal{F}(x_2 [n]) = \mathcal{F}(x_1 [Dn])\\ &= \sum_{n = -\infty}^\infty x_1[Dn] e^{-j \omega n} = \sum_{m = -\infty}^\infty x_1[m] e^{-j \omega {\frac{m}{D}}}\\ &= \sum_{n = -\infty}^\infty s_D[m]* x_1 [m] e^{-j \omega {\frac{m}{D}}}\\ \end{align} $

where

$ s_D [m]=\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 1,& \text{ if } n \text{ is a multiple of } 4,\\ 0, & \text{ else}. \end{array}\right. = {\frac{1}{D}} \sum_{k = -\infty}^{D-1} e^{jk {\frac{2 \pi}{D} m}} $

$ \begin{align} &\mathcal{X}_2(\omega)= \sum_{m = -\infty}^\infty {\frac{1}{D}} \sum_{k = -\infty}^{D-1} e^{jk {\frac{2 \pi}{D} m}} x_1[m] e^{-j \omega {\frac{m}{D}}}\\ &= {\frac{1}{D}} \sum_{k = -\infty}^{D-1} \sum_{m = -\infty}^\infty x_1[m] e^{-jm ({\frac{\omega - 2 \pi k}{D}})} = \\ &= {\frac{1}{D}} \sum_{k = -\infty}^{D-1} \mathcal{X}_1 ({\frac{\omega - 2 \pi k}{D}}) \\ \end{align} $

Example

Let's take a look  at  an original signal X₁ (w) and  X₂ (w) which is obtained after downsampling X₁(w) by factor D = 2 in a frequency domain.

Downsampler is a part of a decimator which also has a low-pass filter to  prevent aliasing.  LPF reduces signal components which has  frequencies higher than cutoff frequency, which can be found from graphs shown above.

                             $ \begin{align} & D 2 \pi T_1 f_{max} < \pi\\ & {\frac{T_2}{T_1}} 2\pi T_1 f_{max} < \pi \\ & 2\pi T_2f_{max} < \pi \\ &f_{max} < {\frac{1}{2T_2}} \end{align} $
