Walt Kester is an electrical engineer whose technical writing concerns data converters and sampled-data electronics. He edited The Data Conversion Handbook edited by Walt Kester, which brings together converter architectures, testing, interfacing and practical circuit design.[ref]
A useful distinction in this subject is between signal sampling, which selects values at particular times, and quantization, which selects a representable numerical level. An analog-to-digital converter combines both. Kester's explanation of the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem connects the sampling rate with the frequencies present at the converter input, making filtering part of the measurement design.[ref]
