Normalized Frequency (other)
Normalized frequency can refer to: * Normalized frequency (digital signal processing) * Normalized frequency (fiber optics) In an optical fiber, the normalized frequency, ''V'' (also called the V number), is given by :V = \sqrt\quad = \mathrm, where ''a'' is the core radius, λ is the wavelength in vacuum, ''n''1 is the maximum refractive index of the core, ''n' ...

Normalized Frequency (digital Signal Processing)
In digital signal processing (DSP), a normalized frequency () is a quantity that is equal to the ratio of a frequency and a characteristic frequency of a system. An example of a normalized frequency is the sampling frequency in a system in which a signal is sampled at periodically, in which it equals (with the unit ''cycle per sample''), where is a frequency and is the ''sampling rate''. For regularly spaced sampling, the continuous time variable, (with unit second), is replaced by a discrete ''sampling count'' variable, (with the unit sample), upon division by the sampling interval, (with the unit second per sample). The use of normalized frequency allows us to present concepts that are universal to all sample rates in a way that is independent of the sample rate. An example of such a concept is a digital filter design whose bandwidth is specified not in hertz, but as a percentage of the sample rate of the data passing through it. Formulas expressed in terms of or ar ...
