Summary

Hypothetical spectrum of a inadequately sampled bandlimited signal where the images overlap showing how aliases are created. X(f) (blue) and XA(f) (blue) are continuous Fourier transforms of two different functions, x(t) and xA(t) (not shown). When the functions are sampled at rate fs, the images (green) are added to the original transforms (blue) when one examines the discrete-time Fourier transforms (DTFT) of the sequences. In this hypothetical example, the DTFTs are identical, which means the sampled sequences are identical, even though the original functions are not. If these were audio signals, x(t) and xA(t) would not sound the same. But their samples (taken at rate fs) would lead to identical reproduced sounds; thus xA(t) is an alias of x(t) at this sample rate. In this example (of a bandlimited function), such aliasing can be prevented by increasing fs such that the green images in the top figure do not overlap the blue portion.

This graph image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “AliasedSpectrum.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
