Previous articles in Planet Analog make mention of the “aliasing effect.” Most EEs agree in the importance of the aliasing effect as a noise source and take for granted that anti-aliasing filters are ...
The relationship between a signal’s constituent frequencies and the sampling rate used to quantize them is fundamental. As shown in Figure 1, sampling a signal that has a given spectrum creates a ...
Sampling a signal causes the original signal spectrum (blue) to create sum (purple) and difference (red) frequencies around the sampling frequency, fS. When the difference signals fall into the ...
