Numerical - Calculate Sampling rate
Q. Calculate the minimum sampling rate to avoid aliasing when a continuous time signal is given by x(t) = 5 cos 400πt- Published on 16 Oct 15a. 100 Hz
b. 200 Hz
c. 400 Hz
d. 250 Hz
ANSWER: 400 Hz
In the given signal, the highest frequency is given by f = 400 π/ 2π
= 200 Hz
The minimum sampling rate required to avoid aliasing is given by Nyquist rate. The nyquist rate is = 2 * f
= 2 * 200
= 400 Hz.
