singlerate
Singlerate is a term used in digital signal processing to describe a design approach in which all processing elements, filters, and data paths operate at a single sampling rate throughout the system. In contrast, multi-rate systems use two or more sampling rates and perform upsampling, downsampling, or resampling steps to optimize resource usage or performance. Singlerate designs aim for simplicity, easier timing analysis, and predictable latency, making them common in applications where the signal bandwidth does not justify the complexity of changing sample rates.
In typical singlerate architectures, the input signal is sampled at a fixed rate, and all digital filters
Singlerate is often contrasted with multi-rate signal processing, polyphase filter banks, and resampling techniques, which are
