← TechnologyWhich error increase occurs when exceeding ADC sampling rate?
A)Increased quantization noise floor
B)Severe signal aliasing distortion✓
C)Amplified thermal noise influence
D)Data truncation precision loss
💡 Explanation
Severe aliasing results when exceeding the Nyquist sampling rate; the ADC digitizes misleading frequencies which are a result of signal folding. This occurs because the system misinterprets frequencies above half the sampling rate, therefore generating spurious components rather than the intended frequencies.
