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 ...

Closely related to a scope’s real-time bandwidth is its maximum specified sample rate. “Real-time” simply means that the scope can capture and display signals commensurate with the scope’s specified ...

Nyquist pulse generation underpins modern high-speed optical communications by producing sinc-shaped waveforms that occupy the minimum spectral bandwidth for a given data rate. These pulses, ...

The concept behind digitizing sound. Working at Bell Labs, Harry Nyquist discovered that it was not necessary to capture the entire analog waveform, and samples of the wave could be taken at various ...
