Calculate Sampling Frequency

Formula

The formula to calculate sampling frequency from sampling period is:

\[ f_s = \frac{1}{T_s} \]

Where:

What is Sampling Frequency?

Sampling frequency refers to the rate at which samples are taken from a continuous signal to create a discrete signal. It is an important parameter in digital signal processing and data acquisition systems. The sampling frequency determines how often measurements are made and affects the quality and accuracy of the data representation. Higher sampling frequencies can capture more detail and reduce aliasing effects but require more storage and processing power.

Example Calculation

Consider the following example:

Using the formula:

\[ f_s = \frac{1}{0.01} = 100 \text{ Hz} \]

This means the sampling frequency is 100 Hz.
