Aliasing
24
How many hertz can the human eye see?
• Most don't notice unless it is under 50 or 60 Hz.
• Generally, people notice when the frame-rate is less than the
refresh rate of the display.
• Depending on the type of CRT, you couldn't see flicker at 30
Hz or you could still see it at 120 Hz.
Aliasing
• When the minimum sampling rate is not respected, distortion
called aliasing occurs.
• Aliasing causes high frequency signals to appear as lower
frequency signals.
• To be sure aliasing will not occur, sampling is always preceded
by low pass filtering.
• The low pass filter, called the anti-aliasing filter, removes all
frequencies above half the selected sampling rate.
25
Aliasing
• Figure illustrates sampling a 40 Hz sinusoid
• The sampling interval between sample points is T = 0.01 second,
and the sampling rate is thus fs = 100 Hz.
• The sampling theorem condition is satisfied
26
Aliasing
• Figure illustrates sampling a 90 Hz sinusoid
• The sampling interval between sample points is T = 0.01 second,
and the sampling rate is thus fs = 100 Hz.
• The sampling theorem condition is not satisfied

Sampling Effect in Time Domain
29
Example of Aliasing in the time domain
of various sinusoidal signals ranging
from 10 kHz to 80 kHz with a sampling
frequency Fs = 40 kHz.
Time & Frequency Domains
30
• There are two complementary signal descriptions.
• Signals seen as projected onto time or frequency domains.
Time & Frequency Domains
31
Signal & Spectrum
32
Frequency Range of Analog & Digital Signals
• For analog signals, the frequency range is from -∞ Hz to ∞ Hz
• For digital signals, the frequency range is from 0 Hz to Fs/2 Hz
33
Sampling Effect in Frequency Domain
• Sampling causes images of a signal’s spectrum to appear at
every multiple of the sampling frequency fs.
• For a signal with frequency f, the sampled spectrum has
frequency components at kfs ± f

Sampling Effect in Frequency Domain
Anti Aliasing Filter
• A signal with no frequency component above a certain
maximum frequency is known as a band-limited signal.
• In our case we want to have a signal band-limited to ½ Fs.
• Some times higher frequency components (both harmonics
and noise) are added to the analog signal (practical signals are
not band-limited).
• In order to keep analog signal band-limited, we need a filter,
usually a low pass that stops all frequencies above ½ Fs.
• This is called an “Anti-Aliasing” filter. 37
Anti Aliasing Filter
• Anti-aliasing filters are analog filters.
• They process the signal before it is sampled.
• In most cases, they are also low-pass filters unless band-pass
sampling techniques are used.
38
Under Sampling
• If the sampling rate is lower than the required Nyquist rate, that
is fS < 2W, it is called under sampling.
• In under sampling images of high frequency signals erroneously
appear in the baseband (or Nyquist range) due to aliasing.
39
Sampling of Band Limited Signals
Signals whose frequencies are restricted to a narrow band of
high frequencies can be sampled at a rate similar to twice the
Bandwidth (BW) instead of twice the maximum frequency.
Fs ≥ BW
40
Sampling of Band Limited Signals
• While this under-sampling is normally avoided, it can be
exploited.
• For example, in the case of band limited signals all of the
important signal characteristics can be deduced from the copy
of the spectrum that appears in the baseband through
sampling.
• Depending on the relationship between the signal frequencies
and the sampling rate, spectral inversion may cause the shape
of the spectrum in the baseband to be inverted from the true
spectrum of the signal.

(b) Fs = 100 kHz, the lowest
Frequencies In the signal alias
to the highest frequencies.
(c) Fs = 120 kHz, No spectral
Inversion occurs.
Over Sampling
• Oversampling is defined as sampling above the minimum
Nyquist rate, that is, fS > 2fmax.
• Oversampling is useful because it creates space in the
spectrum that can reduce the demands on the analog anti-
aliasing filter.
43
Over Sampling
• In the example below, 2x oversampling means that a low order analog filter is
adequate to keep important signal information intact after sampling.
• After sampling, higher order digital filter can be used to extract the information.
44
Over Sampling
• The ideal filter has a flat pass-band and the cut-off is very sharp,
since the cut-off frequency of this filter is half of that of the
sampling frequency, the resulting replicated spectrum of the
sampled signal do not overlap each other. Thus no aliasing
occurs.
• Practical low-pass filters cannot achieve the ideal
characteristics.
• Firstly, this would mean that we have to sample the filtered
signals at a rate that is higher than the Nyquist rate to
compensate for the transition band of the filter

frequencies up to 3000 Hz.
i. Determine the minimum required sampling rate to avoid aliasing.
ii. Suppose that we sample this signal at a rate of 6500 samples/s. what is
the highest frequency that can be represented uniquely at this sampling
rate?

= 1/8000
= 0.125 msec

from the signal = fs/2 = 4000 Hz.

ii. The highest frequency that can be represented
uniquely at 6500 samples/s = fs/2
