Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A signal contains frequency components up to 18 kHz. You have the option to sample at 30 kHz or 35 kHz. Explain which one you should choose and why.

💡 Hint: Consider what the Nyquist theorem states about sampling rates.

Challenge 2 Hard

You discovered that your audio processing system was sampling at 20 kHz for signals containing frequencies up to 15 kHz. What issues could arise from this? How can you solve them?

💡 Hint: Use the concepts discussed regarding aliasing and sampling rates.
