Which consequence results when signal processing exceeds the Nyquist rate within a Software Defined Radio's (SDR) receiver?

💡 Explanation

When the Nyquist rate is exceeded signals alias spuriously because undersampling does not accurately capture signal changes, falsely creating lower frequencies. Therefore, aliasing distortions occur, rather than harmonic distortion or modulation issues at this core sampling stage.
