What is first order hold circuit?

The first-order-hold (FOH) method is a mathematical model to reconstruct the sampled signals that could be done by a conventional digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and an analog circuit which is called an integrator.

What is zero-order hold and first order hold?

Zero Order means the function is constant, we interpolate the same value in the missing parts. First order means we can use linear function to interpolate (Line with a slope). Hold means we hold the parameters to be the same until the next sample.

What does a zero-order hold do?

The zero-order hold (ZOH) is a mathematical model of the practical signal reconstruction done by a conventional digital-to-analog converter (DAC). That is, it describes the effect of converting a discrete-time signal to a continuous-time signal by holding each sample value for one sample interval.

Which order hold function is best suited for signal recovery?

The zero-order hold is a method which is widely used to reconstruct the signals in real time. In the zero-order hold reconstruction method, the continuous signal is reconstructed from its samples by holding the given sample for an interval until the next sample is received.
