Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem
…free of aliasing, the sampling rate must be at least twice the signal's bandwidth. The name Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem honours Harry Nyquist and Claude Shannon, but the theorem was also previously discovered by E. T. Whittaker (published in 1915), and Shannon cited Whittaker's paper in his work. The theorem…
