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 “Example of spectral "folding" caused by sampling a real-valued waveform.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |
Summary
| Description |
English: When a continuous-time function is sampled, it becomes indistinguishable from other functions (called aliases) that match the same set of samples. In the frequency domain (Fourier transform), the aliases appear as new frequencies that aren't in the original function. In this example, the original frequency content is between 0 and 22050 Hz. The region [22050,44100] contains new content caused by sampling at 44100 samples/sec. The mirror image effect is referred to as "folding". |

music.mat was created by these steps in program Audacity:
• Open a stereo mp3 file.
• Right-click on the filename, and choose Split Stereo to Mono in the drop-down menu.
• Delete one channel.
• Highlight a section to be exported.
• Choose Export Selected Audio.
• Choose Save As Type: Other Uncompressed Files.
• Under Options, set Header=MAT5 and Encoding=Signed 16-bit PCM
