Decimation Operator
Definition: Decimation byis defined as taking every
th sample, starting with sample
:
The
operator maps a length
signal down to a length
signal. It is the inverse of the
operator (but not vice versa), i.e.,
The stretch and decimation operations do not commute because they are linear time-varying operators. They can be modeled using time-varying switches controlled by the sample index.

An example of
is shown in Fig. 8.8. The example is
