Sampling
-
SamplingExample: CD rate f = 44,100 Hz, so the highest frequency thatcan be represented is 22,050 Hz Called Nyquist frequency = cycle/sample = f/2 Hz
-
Sampling and aliasingAliasing a sine wave:
-
One frequency can masquerade as anotherWhen viewed as a strobed phasor, its easy to see that we need to sample at least twice each period to capture the frequency unambiguouslyNyquists theorem: Highest allowed signal frequency is half the sampling frequency = Nyquist frequency
-
Aliasing strikes!
-
Prefiltering: avoids aliasing on A-to-DOversampling: can substitute cheap digital filtering for expensive analog filtering for A-to-D or D-to-A conversion
