Consider the following statements about the sampling theorem.

1. The sampling rate must be at least twice the highest signal frequency

2. An anti-alias filter is needed before the sampler

3. Aliasing can be corrected by a filter after the sampler

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.2 and 3 only
  • B.1, 2 and 3
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.1 and 3 only

Answer: C

The first two are correct and the third is not: aliasing is irreversible, because the folded component lands on a frequency the signal itself occupies. That single fact is what makes the anti-alias filter mandatory rather than optional, and it is why the sampling rate and the filter's cut-off are chosen as one decision rather than two.
