7. 3 3 with a higher sampling frequency the original signal can be reconstructed much better from the measured samples Figure 3 3 The effect of the sampling frequency The sampling frequency must be higher than 2 times the high est frequency in the input signal This is called the Nyquist fre quency Theoretically it is possible to reconstruct the input signal with more than 2 samples per period In practice 10 to 20 sam ples per period are recommended to be able to examine the signal thoroughly Aliasing When sampling an analog signal with a certain sampling frequency signals appear in the output with frequencies equal to the sum and difference of the signal frequency and multiples of the sampling frequency For example when the sampling frequency is 1000 Hz and the signal frequency is 1250 Hz the following signal frequencies will be present in the output data Multiple of sampling frequency 1250 Hz signal 1250 Hz signal 1000 1000 1250 250 1000 1250 2250 0 0 1250 1250 0 1250 1250 1000 1000 1250 2250 1000 1250 250 2000 2000 1250 3250 2000 1250 750 Table 3 4 Aliasing As stated before when sampling a signal only frequencies lower than half the sampling frequency can be reconstructed In this case the sampling frequency is 1000 Hz so we can we only observe signals with a frequency ranging from 0 to 500 Hz This means that from the resulting frequencies in the table we c
