Comment on Nyquist Frequencyparent

Comments

Only true for continuous RF sources.

For transient signals you need at least Nyquist frequency.

Or use the traditional "lock-in" amplifier technique of mixing with a known reference at the frequency mid-point of the range you care about? (That's how NMR spectrometers / MRI scanners worked for decades

Isnt the lock-in amplifier technique used to improve the SNR ratio of a signal by filtering out noise at frequencies outside a specific range of interest? High-speed sampling would still be required to accurately measure transient signals.

In that sense isn't the bandwidth 0-Max anyway though?
