Loosely speaking, "decimation" is the process of reducing the sampling rate. In practice, this usually implies lowpass-filtering a signal, then throwing away some of its samples.

"Downsampling" is a more specific term which refers to just the process of throwing away samples, without the lowpass filtering operation. Throughout this FAQ, though, we'll just use the term "decimation" loosely, sometimes to mean "downsampling".

Difference between DIT DIF?

the diff between the two lies in their very names - decimation is time and decimation in freq. when u say decimation on time, u will consider the individual samples(actually pair of samples) in time domain n find their freq parts and go further and further to find the fft. when u say decimation on freq, u will consider the individual samples in freq domain n combine them to come out with the actual fft.

What is the Roman army decimation?

decimation was death by utter humiliation. soldiers that deserted or disobeyed an order then they would be decimated. The decimation was carried out by fellow soldiers. so you would be tied to a post and clubbed to death by men who you had fought together with, eaten together etc. but decimation could be different, general Scipio after he had defeated Hannibal caught the few soldiers that had deserted, tied them to the road and rode his elephants over them. so decimation was the ultimate humiliation to a soldier.
