4.4 Aliasing applet

 Page 1 / 1
Applet demonstrating the concept of aliasing

The applet is courtesy of the Digital Signal Processing tutorial at freeuk.com, http://www.dsptutor.freeuk.com/ . You can also have a look at the Light Wheel applet .

Introduction

In this module we shall look at sampling a sinusoidal signal. According to the sampling theorem , a sinusoidal signal can be exactly reconstructed from values sampled atdiscrete, uniform intervals as long as the signal frequency is less than half the sampling frequency. Any component of a sampled signal with a frequency above thislimit, often referred to as the folding frequency, is subject to aliasing .

The applet is based on a fixed sampling rate of ${F}_{s}=8000 samples per second$ (one sample every 0.125 milliseconds, i.e ${T}_{s}=\frac{1}{8000}$ ).

Instructions

Set the frequency of the sinusoidal signal, in Hz, in the "Input frequency" box, i.e choose an $f$ in the following signal: $\sin (2\pi ft)$ . When you click the "Plot" button, with "Input signal" checked, the input signal is plotted againsttime.

The "Grid" checkbox toggles on and off vertical gridlines indicating the instants at which the signal is sampled.The "Sample points", representing the sampled values of the input signal, can also be toggled.

Finally, the "Alias frequency" checkbox (visible only when aliasing occurs) controls the plotting of the "reconstructed" sinusoidal signal, with $f={f}_{\mathrm{alias}}$ .

Overview of the process

When using the applet it is important to have an understanding of where the different signals occurin a sampling system.

Relating the applet signals to the figure we get
• Input signal = $x(t)=\sin (2\pi ft)$ , where $f$ is the input frequency chosen by the user.
• The sampled signal = ${x}_{s}(n)=\sin (2\pi fn{T}_{s})=\sin (2\pi fn\frac{1}{8000})$ .
• The reconstructed signal = $\stackrel{}{x}(\mathrm{\left(t\right)})$ , is shown as the original signalif sampling is done fast enough, or as the aliased signal if sampling is too slow.
( $h(t)$ is an ideal reconstruction filter).

sure. what is your question?
ninjadapaul
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
ninjadapaul
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
ninjadapaul
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
ninjadapaul
oops. ignore that.
ninjadapaul
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?
ninjadapaul
hmm
Abhi
is it a question of log
Abhi
🤔.

or infinite solutions?
Kim
The answer is neither. The function, 2 = 0 cannot exist. Hence, the function is undefined.

anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials

this technology will not going on for the long time , so I'm thinking about femtotechnology 10^-15
Prasenjit
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
Prasenjit Reply
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.

the Beer law works very well for dilute solutions but fails for very high concentrations. why?
