Normalized Frequency (digital Signal Processing)
In digital signal processing, the normalized frequency of a periodic signal is its frequency expressed in units of cycles (or radians) per sample, rather than in the usual SI units of hertz (cycles per second). The cycles-per-sample frequency is computed by dividing the cycles-per-second frequency by the sampling rate (samples per second); symbolically, the "per second" units cancel:
- (cycles/second) / (samples/second) = cycles/sample.

Famous quotes containing the words frequency and/or signal:
“One is apt to be discouraged by the frequency with which Mr. Hardy has persuaded himself that a macabre subject is a poem in itself; that, if there be enough of death and the tomb in one’s theme, it needs no translation into art, the bold statement of it being sufficient.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Certainly the effort to remain unchanged, young, when the body gives so impressive a signal of change as the menopause, is gallant; but it is a stupid, self-sacrificial gallantry, better befitting a boy of twenty than a woman of forty-five or fifty. Let the athletes die young and laurel-crowned. Let the soldiers earn the Purple Hearts. Let women die old, white-crowned, with human hearts.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
