Nyquist Frequency

In order to recover all Fourier components of a periodic waveform, it is necessary to use a sampling rate  at least twice the highest waveform frequency. The Nyquist frequency, also called the Nyquist limit, is the highest frequency that can be coded at a given sampling rate in order to be able to fully reconstruct the signal, i.e.,
