Guys it’s been 8 months. It was a bad take.

    Interesting. Does quantization not always refer to quantization of the amplitude value of a sample while the sampling rate is always referred to as the … sampling rate? I get what you mean by quantization of time but I have never heard anyone calling the sampling rate that before, so now I´m asking myself if it even is a real quantization because there is no value approximation going on and the sampling frequency is an exactly known value at all times.

      Yes I think you used the terms correctly — it should be referring to the amplitude. “Discrete sampling” or just sampling rate is the preferred way to refer to time, you’re right.

      I was trying to use consistent language in response to the reply claiming you were misunderstanding the sampling theorem. I think that poster was confusing discrete/quantized steps in time with discrete/quantized steps in amplitude.

      Their comment about SNR is certainly true though.
