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
Rayleigh (unit) Rayleigh (unit) The rayleigh is a unit of photon flux, used to measure airglow (auroras, for example). It was first proposed in 1956 by Donald M. Hunten, Franklin E. Roach, and Joseph W. Chamberlain. It is named for John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh (1842–1919). Its symbol is R (also used for the röntgen, an unrelated unit). SI prefixes are used with the rayleigh. One rayleigh (1 R) is defined as a column emission rate of 10 photons per square metre per column per second. Note that rayleigh is an apparent emission rate, as no allowances have been made for
