Passband
The signals within the passband have frequency-dependent gain or
attenuation. The small amount of variation in gain with frequency is called
the passband ripple. The digital filters of the NI USB-9233 adjust the
frequency range of the passband to match the data rate. Therefore, the
amount of gain or attenuation at a given frequency depends on the data rate.
Figure 10 shows typical passband ripples for two different data rates.

The relative phases of these signals also have a frequency-dependent delay.
The variation in the phase delay with frequency is called the phase
nonlinearity. Figure 11 shows the phase nonlinearity for data rates above
25 kS/s and at or below 25 kS/s. The phase nonlinearity scales directly with
the oversample rate, so the two curves normalize the signal frequency to the
data rate.
