Non-Uniform Sampling

Started by simha j March 10, 2001
Hi all,

My Question is:

Is FFT applicable to a non-uniformly sampled signal?.
I heard from one of my friends that we can apply DFT
to a N-US signal and not FFT. Is this correct?

And also how is the nyquist rate defined for a non
uniformly sampled signal?. looking forward to your replies.....

bye

Simha J-

Nyquist, DFT, etc. theory is based on linear time-invariant system. First
interpolate your signal to match or exceed the smallest interval between
samples; i.e. make uniformly sampled. Then proceed.
