Re: Resampling radio data

Rough performance estimate:

for a 1/10 transition width filter (which is sufficient to keep 20 of 25 MHz Nyquist), you
need an expertly guesstimated [1] 24-ish taps, so go for 25 taps: that happens to be
exactly the minimum filter length that we can use in an 25-interpolating rational
resampler and still do the full polyphase decomposition trick to run the filter at the
least rate of the system.

For "1 tap per branch", I have a rough 60 MS/s for *my PC* in mind. So, My guess is that
it will work for 46->50 MS/s, not for 92->100 MS/s, on *my PC*.

Problem: this is an inherently badly multi-threadable workload, unless I'm overlooking
something. So, having 48 cores isn't better than having 2.

Best regards,
Marcus
