    Frequencies Sampling
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing signal frequencies f1=18 Hz, f2=510 Hz, and f3=1100 Hz, using a sampling frequency of fs=1000 Hz. It highlights that f1 is below the Nyquist Frequency (fc=500 Hz), while f2 and f3 exceed it, leading to potential aliasing for those frequencies. The participant seeks clarification on applying the same sampling formula for all frequencies and how the resulting graphs would appear. Additionally, they inquire about the effects of using a slightly higher sampling frequency of fs=1002 Hz. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding sampling results and aliasing effects for different frequencies.

Homework Statement



We have the following signal frequencies:

f1=18 Hz, f2=510 Hz, f3=1100 Hz

when using the sampling frequency fs=1000 Hz.

how would these signals be like?

my question is if I could use the same formula stated below for all the frequencies f1,f2,f3.. because the second and third ones are above the Nyquist Frequency fc=fs/2=500 Hz so there would be aliasing in this case.

and what about the graphs for these samplings?

Homework Equations



when using another sampling frequency fs=1002 Hz

and here also would be the same questions.

The Attempt at a Solution



I used the formula:

$$ S_{\Delta }(v)= f_{s}\sum_{n=-\infty}^{+\infty}(S(v-n*f_{s})) $$

for the first frequency f1= 18 Hz I had:

$$ S_{\Delta}(18)=1000\sum(S(18-n*1000)) $$

where $$ n=-\infty $$ to $$ +\infty $$

Do you mean, for each actual frequency, what is the lowest frequency that could yield the same sampling results?

No i mean for each actual frequency wha are the sampling results for fs=1000 Hz and then for fs=1002 Hz.
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
