Sampling Theorem
for a limited bandwidth signal with the maximum frequency fmax, the equally spaced sampling frequency fs must be greater than twice the maximum frenquency fmax: fs>2*fmax
103
Aliasing
Under-sampling causes frequency components that are higher than half of the sampling frequency to overlap with the lower frequency components. As a result the higher frequency components roll into the reconstructed signal and cause distortion of the signal
