Earlier in this series, we touched on one problem that can arise when sampling an analog signal, namely the problem of aliasing. There are three other issues with signal sampling to which we now turn our attention: digitization effects, finite register length effects, and oversampling.
So far, weve assumed that all of the signals were measuring are continuous analog values; i.e., our measurements are completely accurate. Even in the cases in which we have noise, the underlying assumption is that the measurement itself, for example the noisy sensor output voltage, is known precisely.
