  1. Question 1

    Q1. If a 1000 Hz signal is sampled at 2500 Hz, will it be properly reconstructed?

    • A) Yes
    • B) No
    • C) Maybe
    • D) Depends on S/N

    Answer: No

    Explanation: According to Nyquist theorem, sampling rate should be at least 2 * signal frequency, so 2 * 1000 = 2000 Hz is required, 2500 Hz is sufficient but the statement is about proper reconstruction which also depends on other factors, however, the sampling rate is more than the Nyquist rate.
