Nyquist rate

The reciprocal of the Nyquist interval, i.e., the minimum theoretical sampling rate that fully describes a given signal, i.e., enables its faithful reconstruction from the samples. Note: The actual sampling rate required to reconstruct the original signal will be somewhat higher than the Nyquist rate, because of quantization errors introduced by the sampling process.
