SLHS 1302 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Time Series, Formant
Document Summary
Sampling rate (sampling frequency): the number of samples taken per specified unit of time, usually to convert a continuous stream: ex: music cd"s recorded at a rate of 44,100 samples per second. Sampling period: the interval between successive samples: ex: cd sampling period is 0. 0002 sec, 1/44100 sound waveform: time plot of the amplitude fluctuations over time for an audio recording. Hertz (hz): a unit of measurement that means repetitions per second. Used to measure frequency of many things, including sampling frequency, pitch, vowel formants, etc: ex: cd is 44,000 hz.
