Question 1/3

What is the Nyquist rate?

Nyquist-Shannon Sampling Theorem Explanation

The Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem states that to accurately reconstruct a signal, the sampling rate must be at least twice the highest frequency component of the signal. This minimum sampling rate is called the Nyquist rate.

  • Current Signal Frequency: 10 Hz
  • Nyquist Rate: 20 Hz
  • Current Sampling Rate: 25 Hz

The current sampling rate is above the Nyquist rate. The signal can be accurately reconstructed.
