Example 10.

2 For a PCM system with a maximum audio input frequency of 4 kHz, determine the minimum sample rate and the alias frequency produced if a 5 kHz audio signal were allowed to enter the sample-and-hold circuit. Solution Using Nyquists sampling Therefore If a 5 kHz audio frequency entered the sampled-and-hold circuit, the alias frequency of 3 kHz has been introduced into the original audio spectrum.
