Aliasing We have ten observations (10 samples) in a second and two different sinusoids that could have produced the samples. Red sinusoidhas 9 cycles spanning 10samples, so the frequency Blue sinusoidhas 1 cycle spanning 10samples, so the frequency Which one is right? Two-point rule Two data points are required per period to determine a wave. 4 observations: 2 waves 2 observations: 1 wave If sampling rate is , the highest wave frequency can be resolved is , which is called Nyquist frequency
Folding Folding occurs at Nyquist frequency. What problem does folding cause? What will cause aliasing or folding? • The sensor can respond to frequencies higher than the rate that the sensor is sampled. • The true signal has frequencies higher than the sampling rate.
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) FFT is nothing more than a discrete Fourier transform that has been restructured to take advantage of the binary computation processes of digital computer. As a result, everything is the same but faster!

Energy Spectrum Note that n starts from 1, because the mean (n=0) does not contribute any information about the variation of the signal. For frequencies higher than Nyquist frequency, values are identically equal to those at the lower frequencies. They are folded back and added to the lower frequencies. Discrete spectral intensity (or energy)
