Sampled sinusoid alias
ID: sampled-sinusoid-alias
At uniform sampling times , adding an integer multiple of the sampling rate to a sinusoid's frequency changes its complex phase by an integer multiple of . The samples therefore agree. Real cosines also identify the two signs of frequency, giving the displayed representative below the Nyquist frequency. A chosen nonzero sampling-time origin changes the equivalent phase, rather than the alias frequency.
