Digital Signal: A sequence of discrete values representing information, typically obtained by sampling an analog signal at regular intervals.
Sampling: The process of converting a continuous-time signal into a discrete-time signal by measuring its amplitude at uniform time intervals.
Quantization: The process of mapping a range of continuous amplitude values into a finite set of discrete levels during digital signal conversion.
Nyquist Theorem: States that to accurately reconstruct a signal, it must be sampled at a rate at least twice its highest frequency component (Nyquist rate).
Filtering: The process of removing or attenuating specific frequency components from a signal, such as noise reduction or signal enhancement.
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT): An algorithm to efficiently compute the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), transforming a signal from the time domain to the frequency domain.
