Fig 3.5.5 a) With an ideal filter, the images of the input spectrum are rejected<br />

and the resampling process produces a clean set of images at the<br />

new sampling rate.<br />

b) With a non-ideal filter, some of the input images are unsuppressed<br />

and cause aliasing when resampled at the output rate.<br />

Fig 3.5.5 shows how this happens in one dimension. <strong>The</strong> ideal situation is shown<br />

at a), in which a 50Hz sampled signal is adequately filtered <strong>to</strong> the baseband and<br />

resampled at 60Hz. <strong>The</strong> resultant spectrum is free of aliasing. However, if the filter<br />

is imperfect, as shown at b), some energy at 50Hz remains, and when sampled at<br />

60Hz it will alias <strong>to</strong> 10Hz.<br />
