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:
“The frequency of personal questions grows in direct proportion to your increasing girth. . . . No one would ask a man such a personally invasive question as “Is your wife having natural childbirth or is she planning to be knocked out?” But someone might ask that of you. No matter how much you wish for privacy, your pregnancy is a public event to which everyone feels invited.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
“The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control. The guilt feelings will later serve as a warning signal which the child can produce himself when an impulse to repeat the naughty act comes over him. When the child can produce his on warning signals, independent of the actual presence of the adult, he is on the way to developing a conscience.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
