So spatial or temporal frequency components higher than the respective nyquist rate cannot be reproduced and cause aliasing the image sensor, however, is not a point sampling device in space or time, and cannot be approximated as such photocurrent is integrated over the photodetector area and in time before sampling. That is, the time or spatial coordinate t is allowed to take on arbitrary real values perhaps over some interval and the value xt of the signal itself is allowed to take on arbitrary real values again perhaps within some interval.
