    Upsampling (zero padding) and downsampling are: 1) Linear, as applying the process to a sum of signals results in the sum of the processed signals. 2) Causal, as the output at any time depends only on prior sample values. 3) Not time-invariant, as downsampling produces a different output when the input is delayed. Upsampling may also not be time-invariant.

    Is digital up and down sampling linear/causal/time-invariant?

    So I am trying to determine whether the process of up sampling (zero padding) and


    downsampling are linear, causal and/or time-invariant.

    Based on some resources I found online, I am under the impression that it is linear, but not
    time-invariant. However I am unsure about causality (since it depends neither on future nor
    past values?).

    Upsampling and downsampling are both causal, since the output at time m depends only on
    samples you've seen up time m.

    It is also linear (apply upsampling/downsampling to a x[n]+y[n] and see that you get a
    upsample/downsample x[n] + upsample/downsample y[n]).

    Downsampling not time invariant though - what happens if you downsample by 2 and consider
    inputting x[n] and x[n] delayed by 1 time unit? Now, what about upsampling?
