Aliased Frequency vs Sampling Rate

Formel

## How Aliasing Works When a signal exceeds the Nyquist frequency (half the sampling rate), it "folds" back into the representable range, appearing as a lower frequency. ### Formula The aliased frequency is found by folding the signal into the first Nyquist zone: **f_alias = |f_signal - round(f_signal / f_sample) x f_sample|** If this result is above Nyquist, subtract from the sampling rate. ### Example A 30 kHz tone sampled at 44.1 kHz aliases to 14.1 kHz (44.1 - 30 = 14.1 kHz).

Lösungsbeispiel

A 30 kHz signal sampled at 44.1 kHz.

  1. 01Nyquist: 44,100 / 2 = 22,050 Hz
  2. 0230,000 > 22,050, so aliasing occurs
  3. 03Alias: |30,000 - 1 x 44,100| = 14,100 Hz
  4. 04The 30 kHz signal appears as 14,100 Hz

Häufig Gestellte Fragen

Can I remove aliasing after sampling?

No. Once aliased, the false frequency is indistinguishable from a real signal at that frequency. Prevention (anti-aliasing filters) is the only solution.

Is aliasing always harmful?

Usually yes, but some systems exploit it intentionally (e.g., undersampling/bandpass sampling in RF receivers).

What is an anti-aliasing filter?

A low-pass filter placed before the ADC that removes frequencies above the Nyquist frequency to prevent aliasing.
