The Nyquist Theorem
The Nyquist Theorem
frequencies up to the nyquist cutoff frequency and have infinite attenuation thereafter
would be ideal.
In the real world, however, such a brick wall filter doesn`t exist. For the
reason, a slightly higher sample rate must be chosen in order account for the
attenuation slope required for the filter to be effective. A sample rate of 44.1 KHz, for
example, has been chosen in order to accurately encode an effective bandwidth up to
20 KHz.
