Audio systems use them for preamplification, equalization, and tone control. The filter used in an analog to digital converter that is designed to filter all components of the signal that are above the nyquist frequency in order to prevent aliasing from occurring at the digital sampling stage. However, this means the filter should be viewed as part of the analog processing, not something that is being done for the sake of the digitizer.
Antialiasing filters are always analog filters as they process the signal before it is. Digital filters provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals and concepts of digital signal processing and. Ideally an antialiasing filter will be a brickwall filter, allowing everything under the nyquist frequency to pass while filtering everything over the nyquist frequency. Aliasing occurs when a signal is sampled at a less than twice the highest frequency present in the signal. It limits the frequencies that pass through to the sensor, which has the effect of slightly blurring the image.
