What is SDR sample rate?

What is the RTL-SDRs sample rate? The maximum sample rate is 3.2 MS/s (mega samples per second). However, the RTL-SDR is unstable at this rate and may drop samples.

What does sampling rate mean on a DAC?

• Sampling rate (Fs) is the speed at which the data converter (ADC) is sampling an. analog input or sending out (DAC) an analog output. • Data rate is the rate of the digital output data from an ADC or digital input data rate. to a DAC.

How is sample rate calculated?

The sampling frequency or sampling rate, f_s, is the average number of samples obtained in one second, thus f_s = 1/T. Its unit is sample per second or hertz e.g. 48 kHz is 48,000 samples per second.

What does a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz indicate?

It's measured in “samples per second” and is usually expressed in kiloHertz (kHz), a unit meaning 1,000 times per second. Audio CDs, for example, have a sample rate of 44.1kHz, which means that the analog signal is sampled 44,100 times per second.
