Nyquist frequency signal, whereas "Nyquist frequency" is a property of a discrete-time system. When the function domain is time, sample rates are usually expressed in samples per second, and the unit of Nyquist frequency is cycles per second (hertz). When the function domain is distance, as in an image sampling system, the sample rate might be dots per inch and the corresponding Nyquist frequency would be in cycles/inch. Referring again to Figure 1, undersampling of the sinusoid at 0.6 f is what allows there to be a lower-frequency "alias", which is a different function that produces the same set of samples. That
Counts per minute the modern digital indicator, totalised readings came to be directly indicated in decimal notation. Counts per minute The measurement of ionizing radiation is sometimes expressed as being a "rate" of counts per unit time as registered by a radiation monitoring instrument, for which counts per minute (cpm) and counts per second (cps) are commonly used quantities. Count rate measurements are associated with the detection of particles, such as alpha particles and beta particles. However, for gamma ray and X-ray dose measurements a unit such as the sievert is normally used. Both cpm and cps are the rate of detection events
