1.5.12.2. Resample a signal with scipy.signal.resample

scipy.signal.resample() uses FFT to resample a 1D signal.

Generate a signal with 100 data point

import numpy as np

t = np.linspace(0, 5, 100)
x = np.sin(t)

Downsample it by a factor of 4

import scipy as sp

x_resampled = sp.signal.resample(x, 25)

Plot

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure(figsize=(5, 4))
plt.plot(t, x, label="Original signal")
plt.plot(t[::4], x_resampled, "ko", label="Resampled signal")

plt.legend(loc="best")
plt.show()
