Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

An environmental sensor operates with an ADC that has a sampling rate of 1 kHz. If the signal changes at a frequency of 600 Hz, is this sufficient? Justify your answer.

💡 Hint: Apply Nyquist Theorem here for validation.

Challenge 2 Hard

An engineer is choosing a 12-bit ADC for a sensor that measures 0 to 10V, but accidentally selects an 8-bit ADC. How will this affect measurements?

💡 Hint: Consider the effect of fewer steps on signal representation.
