Precisely, Dick!

Please note that I have little real interest in measuring ADEV. My
interest lies almost
solely in measuring phase variations of a received signal via some
propagation path,
not in any statistical sense but looking at actual waveforms plotted as
phase versus
time. I am working towards measurement
Some of the confusion might come from different measurement systems dealing
with different data, either phase (in seconds), or frequency (fractional).
Sub-sampling works for phase-data, just throw away the in-between samples
and look at phase samples that are tau-distance apart.
Decimation works
Let's see if I have this correct, then:
"Decimation" refers to the two-step procedure (filtering followed by
picking every nth sample), and
"Sub-sampling" (or "downsampling") properly refers to taking every nth
sample and discarding the rest.
Is this correct?
And thanks for all the responses.

Hi
If you take a look at how ADEV has been traditionally done for many
decades, they *do* indeed “decimate without the filter”. There is no
re-filtering process as you go from 1 to 2 to 10,000 second tau.

Unless you are doing something tricky, it
in original -- Latin -- it means; take every tenth

In the common vernacular “decimation” does indeed mean “just throw the rest

You can find papers where that *is* what’s being done with samples and that

This is sub-sampling.
