    0.01 sec.
sampling theorem [′samĀ·pliŋ ‚thirĀ·əm]

The theorem that a signal that varies continuously with time is completely determined by its values at an infinite sequence of equally spaced times if the frequency of these sampling times is greater than twice the highest frequency component of the signal. Also known as Shannon's sampling theorem.

The particular algorithm for these analogue-to-digital conversions is the so-called Nyquist-Shannon interpolation formula, to which Campbell pays overt LED homage in Portrait of a Portrait of Harry Nyquist (2000) and Portrait of a Portrait of Claude Shannon (2000-01), the well-known engineers of sampling theorems.
One reason might be the classical sampling theorem of Whittaker, Kotel'nikov, and Shannon [24, 18, 5, 28, 29] where bandlimited signals are the basic assumption.
