I am interested to understand the anti alias performance of the BMI160 accelerometer for low frequency structural vibration measurements. There may be some out of band vibration that I am concerned may be aliased.
The spec sheet refers to 'pre-filtered' data being feed to the ADC. Does this imply an alagoue filter prior to digitizing?and if so what is the type, cutoff and order of that filter? I assume it would be a fixed cutoff given the accel is sampled at 1600Hz.
Is this filter and sample rate sufficient to protect from aliasing in the ADC stage?
My understanding is the digital filters wont protect me if aliasing is introduced in the ADC stage.
Thanks for any any assistance or guidance that can be offered.
