Aliasing definition
I came across this definition of aliasing.
"Aliasing occurs when frequency components are present in the input signal that are higher than half the sampling frequency of the ADC"
From my ...

How to design anti-aliasing filter for a non-ideal oversampled SAR
If we want to go by text-book anti-aliasing filter design for an ADC, we would have \$A(f_{samp}/2)\ge-20*log(2)*N\$ dB attenuation at the Nyquist frequency, where \$A(f)\$ is the magnitude vs ...

How to remove aliasing effects?
I collected data in the time domain and then calculated the FFT to see how it looks in the frequency domain. Since the signal isn't band-limited, I think I have aliasing and there are features at high ...

How do you bandlimit a continuous-time signal?
I wish to avoid aliasing as a result of taking the FFT of a signal. The signal isn't band limited. My understanding is that I should band limit the continuous-time signal first. How do I do this?
