Nyquist limit (http://www.medcyclopaedia.com)
(Harry Nyquist, 18891976, Swedish - American physicist), the maximum frequency of a signal that
can be measured with a method that employs sampling of the signal with a specific frequency, the
sampling frequency. According to Shannons sampling theorem, a signal must be sampled with a
frequency at least twice the frequency of the signal itself. The maximum measurable frequency the
Nyquist limit or frequency is thus half the sampling frequency. If the signal frequency is higher than
the Nyquist limit, aliasing occurs.
