You left something out of your question and out of your thought process. A digital signal always has an upper frequency limit of no more than twice the sample rate. If the signal fed to the ADC contains frequencies hither than that, they will be aliased below that, thereby corrupting the sampled signal. The usual practice places a low-pass analog filter just ahead of the sampler in order to avoid aliasing. The question that seems to trouble you doesn't actually arise.

You question is a little confusing. Consider CDs sampled at 44.1kHz. That theoretically allows (unaliased) frequencies up to 22.05kHz. That a high pass filter can't have a passband bandwidth higher than 22.05kHz seems sort of obvious. Can you explain more what you are trying to do? -- glen

hi all,
i am wondering about how to sample for a high pass digital filter
which has a high bandwidth. Because according to Nyquist theorem 
it should be more than two times the bandwidth of the high pass filter. so
how it can be achieved with the limited ADC resolution that practically we
have?
please reply 
thanks
