A continuous signal contains the following two components:
x1(t) = 3 cos 20πt
x2(t) = 3 cos 50πt
(a) Find the minimum required sampling rate to avoid
aliasing.
(b) Draw the discrete time signals obtained after sampling, when
sampled with Fs = 100 Hz. Explain the disadvantage(s), if any, of
sampling beyond the Nyquist rate.
(c) Assume the sampling rate is Fs= 40 Hz, which components are
exposed to aliasing effects? Support your answer by showing
“Nyquist intervals” and the aliased frequencies.
We found sampling frequency of given signals.
If we use Fs = 100Hz, there is no disadvantage. It's always better to use more than twice of signal frequency to avoid aliasing.
We discussed if sampling frequency is less , then there is aliasing.
Fs= 40 Hz will only affect X2 signal as sampling frequency is less.
We discussed in the form of Nyquist intervals as there will be overlapping in X2 signal if we use Fs = 40 Hz coz it's taking more time to pass. As it's taking more time to pass, incoming signal will collide with current signal
