Hello, I have a signal consisting of 4 harmonics (200k,400k,600k,and 800k Hz) and dc component.The signal is very pure and SNR better than 60 dB. I have to sample it in sub Nyquisit rate(lesser than 1600k). What sampling rate should i choose so that there no alaising. I cannot chose higher sampling rate because of my hardware constraints. waiting for reply regards praveen

To be able to mesure at an 800 khz sine you have to mesure 2 * 800 khz = 1600 k times pr second. If you can't mesure at 1600 khz then choose the highest poosible sample frequency and accept that your highest sine frequency will be half that samplerate.> > waiting for reply > regards > praveen

I see your point in the actual sampling you don't know the phase but my point is that with less than 1600 Khz he can't capture the 800 khz sine at all. But yes 180000 Khz sample rate would be better. The point is that less than 1600 khz will not work at all capturing 800 khz. antialiasing or not> r b-j >

I cannot > chose higher sampling rate because of my hardware constraints.Do you mean it only has those four harmonics, plus DC? No modulation or side bands? Then nine samples are enough. On the other hand, if you sample at 900kHz, Fn is 450kHz, the 800kHz alias is at 100kHz and the 600kHz alias is at 300kHz, which can be separated from the others, as long as the sidebanks (modulation) are less than 50kHz wide. I think to really answer we need more details on the system, and what you are trying to measure. -- glen

If you sample at a frequency that interleaves the aliases with the real signal, say by folding 550 KHz, then your prior knowledge of the signal will allow the components to be separated.

Since the signal consists of a few pure tones known in advance, aliasing doesn't destroy knowledge of the signal. You were too quick to say "can't".

So if I have a 100GHz signal with a 1 Hz maximum bandwidth I only need a slow ADC (2 or 3 Hz) but a very good sample and hold :-) If I have a narrow band signal it can't deviate from the ideal sinusiod by much in a short time interval can it? So I only need to sample occasionally to sample the (low frequency) deviations from the assumed "carrier". Hand-waving justification for sub-sampling. Sub-sampling works when you have good apriori knowledge of a narrow band signal. The case in point here though is a signal with a bandwidth from DC to 800 kHz so that is the bandwidth. the ide though of dealing with DC separately and then allowing folding (aliasing), as suggested by others, is also what I was thinking. You still need a sample window much much shorter than 1/1600kHz but the sample rate requirement is relaxed. Ian

I suppose you can count the 100GHz signal (very carefully) to find the sampling points.

Sample at 1100. Your signal will show up at 200, 300, 400, and 500. -jim praveen wrote:> > Hello, > I have a signal consisting of 4 harmonics (200k,400k,600k,and 800k Hz) > and dc component.The signal is very pure and SNR better than 60 dB.
