# 4.4 Aliasing applet

 Page 1 / 1
Applet demonstrating the concept of aliasing

The applet is courtesy of the Digital Signal Processing tutorial at freeuk.com, http://www.dsptutor.freeuk.com/ . You can also have a look at the Light Wheel applet .

## Introduction

In this module we shall look at sampling a sinusoidal signal. According to the sampling theorem , a sinusoidal signal can be exactly reconstructed from values sampled atdiscrete, uniform intervals as long as the signal frequency is less than half the sampling frequency. Any component of a sampled signal with a frequency above thislimit, often referred to as the folding frequency, is subject to aliasing .

The applet is based on a fixed sampling rate of ${F}_{s}=8000 samples per second$ (one sample every 0.125 milliseconds, i.e ${T}_{s}=\frac{1}{8000}$ ).

## Instructions

Set the frequency of the sinusoidal signal, in Hz, in the "Input frequency" box, i.e choose an $f$ in the following signal: $\sin (2\pi ft)$ . When you click the "Plot" button, with "Input signal" checked, the input signal is plotted againsttime.

The "Grid" checkbox toggles on and off vertical gridlines indicating the instants at which the signal is sampled.The "Sample points", representing the sampled values of the input signal, can also be toggled.

Finally, the "Alias frequency" checkbox (visible only when aliasing occurs) controls the plotting of the "reconstructed" sinusoidal signal, with $f={f}_{\mathrm{alias}}$ .

## Overview of the process

When using the applet it is important to have an understanding of where the different signals occurin a sampling system.

Relating the applet signals to the figure we get
• Input signal = $x(t)=\sin (2\pi ft)$ , where $f$ is the input frequency chosen by the user.
• The sampled signal = ${x}_{s}(n)=\sin (2\pi fn{T}_{s})=\sin (2\pi fn\frac{1}{8000})$ .
• The reconstructed signal = $\stackrel{}{x}(\mathrm{\left(t\right)})$ , is shown as the original signalif sampling is done fast enough, or as the aliased signal if sampling is too slow.
( $h(t)$ is an ideal reconstruction filter).

what is variations in raman spectra for nanomaterials
I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
Professor
I think
Professor
what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
How we are making nano material?
what is a peer
What is meant by 'nano scale'?
What is STMs full form?
LITNING
scanning tunneling microscope
Sahil
how nano science is used for hydrophobicity
Santosh
Do u think that Graphene and Fullrene fiber can be used to make Air Plane body structure the lightest and strongest. Rafiq
Rafiq
what is differents between GO and RGO?
Mahi
what is simplest way to understand the applications of nano robots used to detect the cancer affected cell of human body.? How this robot is carried to required site of body cell.? what will be the carrier material and how can be detected that correct delivery of drug is done Rafiq
Rafiq
what is Nano technology ?
write examples of Nano molecule?
Bob
The nanotechnology is as new science, to scale nanometric
brayan
nanotechnology is the study, desing, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials and functional systems through control of matter at nanoscale
Damian
Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
anyone know any internet site where one can find nanotechnology papers?
research.net
kanaga
sciencedirect big data base
Ernesto
Introduction about quantum dots in nanotechnology
what does nano mean?
nano basically means 10^(-9). nanometer is a unit to measure length.
Bharti
do you think it's worthwhile in the long term to study the effects and possibilities of nanotechnology on viral treatment?
absolutely yes
