periodicty -- Sampling of a periodic signal... I have a doubt..is a signal which is sampled from a periodic signal also periodic?if so then is there a relation beyween the time period of the two?

Some things are physically impossible, but mathematically possible (like exactly bisecting a line segment). Some things are both physically and mathematically impossible (like exactly trisecting an angle "with a ruler and compass".) Things mathematically impossible are proven to be so...

Homework Statement Lets say I have a square wave of 10Hz. I want a good sampling frequency or the Nyquist rate (minimum) to accurately capture its characteristics without aliasing. Is it enough to use 10Hz x 2 as nyquist rate, or must I break it down into harmonic frequencies? and use...

I'm doing an experiment using a super fancy oscilloscope. I'm measuring a tiny output voltage that varies with time. I was instructed to make my sampling rate as small as possible (~500S/s). Now the signal that I'm looking at is, in other applications when its being sent to a computer and...

Hi all! Quick question. If a Nyquist sampling rate in a signal is 2f, what lower frequencies can be represented without aliasing? I assume you could have frequencies which have only even number of samples in their wave length, or maybe in half of their wave length. Am I wrong? If someone can...

Hi everybody, this is my first question in this forums. I have some complex data in Matlab the absolute value of which represent a frequency response. My data extend from 1 Hz to 20 kHz and have an incremental frequency of 1 Hz. I now need to convert this frequency responses in Impulse...

Hello, I have the following Fourier complex signal: v(t) = 2/πsin(500πt)+1/2sin(1000πt)+1/3sin(1500πt) I need to find the minimum sampling rate for this signal. So, according to the Nyquist Theorem, the sampling rate must be twice the highest frequency component contained in the original...

My experience with statistics is very limited although I understand probability theory quite well. My friend, an accountant, asked a question. He does attribute sampling. I understand most of it intuitively and the math was what I expected it to look like when I got curious and started reading...

Hello, I don't really know if this is considered a challenging problem but this is not for homework: You're given a set of numbers S of size n. From S, you draw a random sample A, |A| < n. From S, you draw a random sample B, |B| < n. Sampling doesn't remove items from S. What is the...

Hello! My question is about Importance Sampling. I am trying to apply a complex sampling method, which combine two sampling techniques. To do this, the importance sampling is used ONLY to divide the probability distribution into two main parts: Part 1: from 0 to p*, and Part 2: from p* to 1...

Hi, I know that Standard Error of a coefficient is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution associated with the coefficient. I understand the concept. What puzzles me is this: We have just one random sample to work with. The calculator or Excel doesn’t have any info on the...

Hi, I hope you can help. I collected my samples on the street by just asking passers by to fill in my questionnaire. I moved to 5 different locations within the city and spent 3 hours each visit 3 times a week for one month. Is this random sampling? Or it it sill convenience sampling? Can...

I know that from the sampling theorem you have to go at least twice the frequency you want to sample. Human hearing is around 20 kHz. So 40 kHz would be enough. What are those extra 4100 Hz there for. Now don't get me wrong, I tried google but all results were vague and only scratched the...

I'm trying to demodulate simple AM by using an ADC and the bandpass sampling theorem (as I understand it.) The way I understand the theorem is that by sampling a bandpass signal of frequency f_{0} and bandwidth B, where f_{0} >> B, as long as I use a sampling frequency of >2B I can reproduce...

So I was playing in MATLAB with signals. I recorded myself saying some sample sentence. I imported it as a vector (it was mono), and reproduced it and it worked. But then I told matlab, to skip every other element. Basically I wrote this: soundsc(a(1:2:end),44100). what I EXPECTED was to...

They say you can fully recover a signal if you sample it at twice the bandwidth (Nyquist rate). But how is it possible to be able to fully recover the signal since you are missing all the information about the signal between successive samples? For example if you sample cos(2*pi*B*t) at 2B...

Combine several measures: "consensus mean" or a sampling problem? Dear all, I have this problem: the work aims to test the value (mean and error) of several sensors (with a different measure for each) in a subjects group, and then to have a single global value (a single mean and error) from...

Hi all, I know about these facts: 1- The variance of importance weights increases in SIR (also know as the degeneracy problem). 2- It's bad (lol), because in practice, there will be a particle with high normalized weight and many particles with insignificant (normalized) weights. But I...

Hey guys, I've been working extensively on a report for the last few hours. I've managed 28 pages but I'm stuck on something. For a 33kHz sampling of a sawtooth wave, what would the recovered wave look like? I'd imagine it would be recovered through a low pass filter? Also, why is the wave...

I am wondering what the minimum sampling duration must be in order to accurately resolve a 60Hz wave. I know the FFT works with periodic waves about the number N but I am not sure how this relates to say a sampling duration that is 1 half the sampling period of a 60 Hz wave. I'm worried that the...

Sampling theorem says that we should sample at least at a double rate than the bandwidth of the signal : Fs>=2B. Ideally Fs==2B e.i. oversampling is unnecessary. However, there's always noise present in the signal. Hartley's theorem connects the SNR with the bandwidth and the sampling rate for...
