SYSTEM, METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR CALCULATING A SAMPLED SIGNAL
20180121387 · 2018-05-03 ·

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for calculating a sampled signal are disclosed. A method in accordance with the disclosure may include determining discrete samples of a continuous signal having a finite spectrum and using a function series expansion to calculate at least a portion of the continuous signal over the discrete samples. In accordance with some embodiments, an original signal may be calculated over discrete samples with arbitrary accuracy. Polyphase filtering is not used in some embodiments. Some embodiments can be used for arbitrary, including irrational, variation of the sampling rate of the signal with a bounded spectrum. Some embodiments provide for much faster calculation than direct application of the Kotelnikov (Nyquist-Shannon) theorem. In some embodiments, the calculation may be performed according to the disclosed theorem but, instead of discrete signal convolutions with kernels having different phases, a function series expansion may be used.

MIX BUFFERS AND COMMAND QUEUES FOR AUDIO BLOCKS

The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology that may be used in an audio processing environment. Nodes of an audio flow graph are associated with virtual mix buffers. As the flow graph is processed, commands and virtual mix buffer data are provided to audio fixed-function processing blocks. Each virtual mix buffer is mapped to a physical mix buffer, and the associated command is executed with respect to the physical mix buffer. One physical mix buffer mix buffer may be used as an input data buffer for the audio fixed-function processing block, and another physical mix buffer as an output data buffer, for example.

SYNCHRONIZATION OF AUDIO STREAMS AND SAMPLING RATE FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

Disclosed herein, among other things, are methods and apparatus for providing a time-stamp based controller for synchronization of sink or source sampling rate with external packet rate. A method for wireless communications includes receiving a transmission of a packet using a wireless transceiver of an electronic device, and using a processor of the electronic device to read a first value of a system timer and store the first value as an arrival time-stamp. The packet is decoded and processed by the processor, and sent to an output. When the processed packet is sent, a second value of the system timer is read, adjusted and stored as a departure time-stamp. The arrival time-stamp and the departure time-stamp are used to calculate an adjustment stimulus for a sample rate actuator of the electronic device. The sample rate actuator is configured to maintain synchronization of sampling rate with an external packet rate.

Sample rate converter with sample and hold
09571265 · 2017-02-14 · ·

A sample rate converter for an oversampled data stream develops interpolated samples at a first oversample rate, from samples at a second oversample rate; wherein the first oversample rate is a non-integer multiple of the second oversample rate. When the samples at the second oversample rate are changing state, at least two interpolated samples are generated or the interpolation is at least second order. When the sample at the second oversample rate is not changing state, the sample at the second oversample rate is passed substantially unchanged. In one embodiment of the invention, asynchronous sample rate conversion is performed, and the first oversample rate is a varying non-integer multiple of the second oversample rate.
