DSOs (digital oscilloscopes) offer a great many advantages over their analog equivalents but as they say, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” Digital scopes sample, digitize, and store waveforms ...
Digital instruments sample analog waveforms and operate on the samples with the assurance that the data can be restored to continuous analog form. The sampling theorem states that a signal digitized ...
The relationship between a signal’s constituent frequencies and the sampling rate used to quantize them is fundamental. As shown in Figure 1, sampling a signal that has a given spectrum creates a ...
