On the surface it is easily said that antialiasing designs can be achieved by sampling at a rate greater than twice the maximum frequency found within the signal to be sampled. Stated differently the highest frequency which can be accurately represented is onehalf of the sampling rate. First, we find the value of the frequency response samples.

There are no other sinusoidal signals with fundamental frequencies less than 1khz that have exactly the same samples as those in previous two examples. The sampling theorem, which is also called as nyquist theorem, delivers the theory of sufficient sample rate in terms of bandwidth for the class of functions that are bandlimited. If b is the signal bandwidth, then fs 2b is required where fs is sampling frequency. A continuous time signal can be represented in its samples and can be recovered back when sampling frequency fs is. The half of sampling rate is the folding frequency nyquist limit. We want to minimize the sampling frequency to reduce the data size, thereby lowering the computational complexity in data processing and the costs for data storage and transmission. Note the oscilloscope is externally triggered from the message.
A sampler is a subsystem or operation that extracts samples from a continuous signal. For the love of physics walter lewin may 16, 2011 duration. A continuoustime signal with frequencies no higher than can be reconstructed exactly from its samples, if the samples are taken at a sampling frequency, that is, at a sampling frequency greater than. But what about frequencies exactly half the sampling frequency lets say i sample a sine with an arbitrary phase and amplitude with a. On the other hand, if the conditions of the sampling theorem are violated, then frequencies in the original signal above half the sampling frequency become reflected down to frequencies less than half the sampling frequency. For continuoustime signal xt, which is bandlimited in the frequency domain is represented as shown in the following figure. Sampling theorem sampling theorem a continuoustime signal xt with frequencies no higher than f max hz can be reconstructed exactly from its samples xn xnts, if the samples are taken at a rate fs 1ts that is greater than 2f max.

Natural sampling takes a slice of the waveform, and the top of the slice preserves the shape of the waveform.
Practically speaking for example to sample an analog sig nal having a maximum frequency of 2kc requires sampling.

This distortion is commonly referred to as aliasing, a name suggestive of the. A bandlimited continuoustime signal can be sampled and perfectly reconstructed from its samples if the waveform is sampled over twice as fast as its highest frequency component. While a real digital signal may have energy at half the sampling rate frequency, the phase is constrained to be either 0 or there, which is why this frequency had to be excluded from the sampling theorem.
