1.0 OBJECTIVES

1. To simulate the sampling of a sinusoid using MATLAB.

2. To plot the sampled sinusoid based on the specific sampling frequency.
3. To observe the frequency spectrum of the sampled signal.

2.0 EQUIPMENT

MATLAB® software.

3.0 SYNOPSIS& THEORY

A continuous time signal can be represented in its samples and can be recovered
back when sampling frequency fs is greater than or equal to the twice the highest
frequency component of message signal, fm. i. e.:

f s ≥2 f m

If the sampling frequency (fs) equals twice the input signal frequency (fm), then
such a condition is called the Nyquist Criteria for sampling. When sampling
frequency equals twice the input signal frequency is known as “Nyquist rate”.

f s=2 f m

If the sampling frequency (fs) is less than twice the input signal frequency, such
criteria called an Aliasing effect.

f s <2 f m

6.0 QUESTION & DISCUSSION

1. Based on the experiment, what is the minimum sampling frequency to

avoid aliasing?
