Sampling Process
Laboratory 2

I. Objectives
After completing this laboratory exercise, the student must advance his/her
understanding of the sampling process and to reinforce the importance of properly
selecting the sample frequency.

II. Introductory Information or Theory

III. Materials Needed

- Laptop with Multisim installed
- Reference Book
- Figures obtained from www.pearsoned.com/electronics

IV. Procedure
1. Open the obtained file FigE8-2. Use the spectrum analyzer to determine the
frequencies generated in the sampled signal. The input frequency is 5 kHz.
Where did the 3-kHz signal come from?
2. Open the obtained file FigE8-3. The circuit contains a fault. Start the
simulation and use the oscilloscope to isolate the fault. When you discover the
fault, double-click on the component, click on the fault tab, and set the faults
to none. Restart the simulation and see if you have repaired the circuit.
Specify what component(s) you repaired.
3. Open the obtained file FigE8-4. This circuit contains a fault. Start the
simulation and use the oscilloscope to isolate the fault. When you discover the
fault, double-click on the component, click on the fault tab, and set the faults
to none. Restart the simulation and see if you have repaired the circuit.
Specify the component(s) you repaired.

V. Data and Results

Fig8-41 results:
Figure 1: sample frquency of 5kHz
 Figure 2: sample frequency 12kHz

Figure 3:Spectrum analyzer (where the frequencies are displayed)

1. FigE8-2
The 3-kHz frequency came from the Nyquist formula (f s-fi). Where fs=8kHz and fi=5kHz.
2. FigE8-3
We repaired the diode. The diode was shorted so we changed it the fault to open.

VI. Analysis and Conclusions
In this laboratory exercise, we enhanced our knowledge in the proper
sampling of the input signal and it is an extremely important process when
converting an analog signal to a digital format. We also learned that if the Nyquist
criteria is not met, aliasing frequencies will be generated, leading to a decrease in
the system performance.
