What is the Nyquist interval?

  • A.The interval between two consecutive frame synchronising pulses
  • B.The time for which a sample-and-hold circuit retains its value
  • C.The width of the guard band separating two multiplexed channels
  • D.The reciprocal of the Nyquist rate

Answer: D

The Nyquist interval is the time between samples at the Nyquist rate, so it is simply that rate's reciprocal - a quarter of a millisecond for a four kilohertz signal. Frame intervals, hold times and guard bands are all separate quantities that happen to be measured in the same units. Where a rate has a standard name, its reciprocal usually does too, and keeping the pair straight avoids a factor that is easy to invert. Checking the units of each quantity catches a wrong formula before the arithmetic begins.
