Q. A distorted signal of frequency fm is recovered from a sampled signal if the sampling frequency fs is- Published on 16 Oct 15a. fs > 2fm
b. fs < 2fm
c. fs = 2fm
d. fs ≥ 2fm
ANSWER: fs < 2fm
If the signal of frequency fm is sampled at the rate fs ≥ 2fm only then the spectrum of the sampled signal is obtained without overlapping. For fs < 2fm the sampled signal spectrum overlap each other, and therefore the signal cannot be recovered easily. For reconstruction of signal to be free from distortion, the important condition is
fs ≥ 2fm
