MCQs on Analog to Digital Converters
1 - Question
What is the nyquist frequency for a bandwidth of span “X”?
a) 0
b) X
c) 2X
d) 3X
View Answer
Explanation: The nyquist frequency for a bandwidth of span “X” is 2X. The nyquist frequency of any signal that is band limited is defined as twice the bandwidth of the channel. So for a bandwidth span of “X”, the nyquist frequency will be 2X.

5 - Question
Nyquist rate is the maximum rate at which a signal of finite bandwidth needs to be sampled in order to retrieve all its information.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Nyquist rate is the not maximum rate at which a signal of finite bandwidth needs to be sampled in order to retrieve all its information. It is the minimum rate at which the signal of finite bandwidth needs to be sampled to get all its information.
