Sample Rates and Frame Rates

Sample rates are an important issue in most DSP models, especially in systems incorporating rate conversions. Fortunately, in most cases, when you build a Simulink model you only need to worry about setting sample rates in the source blocks, such as Signal From Workspace; Simulink automatically computes the appropriate sample rates for all downstream blocks.

Nevertheless, it is important to become familiar with the concepts of "sample rate" and "frame rate" as they apply in the Simulink world. The next sections cover the following important topics:
