An ambiguity in the frequency represented by sampled seismic data. Where there are fewer than two samples per cycle, an input signal at one frequency yields the same sample values as, and hence appears to be, another frequency at the output of the system. Half of the frequency of sampling is called the "folding" or "Nyguist" frequency, fN;a frequency larger than this, fN+Y, appears to be the smaller frequency, fN-Y. The two frequencies are "aliases" of each other. 2, record 9, English, - alias
