Fs/N.

The

frequency

Fs/2

is

a

unique

frequency

referred

to

as

the

Nyquist

frequency

.

At

the

Nyquist

frequency

there

are

exactly

two

samples

on

every

cycle

of

the

input

signal.

Signals

above

the

Nyquist

frequency

become

aliased

which

means

that

they

appear

as

signals

of

a

lower

frequency

.

The

reason

is

that

there

are

not

enough

sample

points

on

each

cycle

of

the

signal

to

determine

the

correct

It

turns

out

that

are

a

of

the

The
