Question
I'm trying to figure out the sampling rate for my ADC to sample essentially signal essentially of the form: $$y(t) = \sin(\max(t, \omega_{max})\times t) + n$$ where $n$ is noise.
Context
This signal is from a motor, where the rotational speed linearly ramps up to some $\omega_{max}$. To figure out the required sampling rate, the only method I know of is to use the Nyquist rate of 2 times the maximum frequency content. The above signal can be re-written as
$y(t) = rectangularPulse(t \epsilon [0, \omega_{max}]) \times \sin(t^2) + heaviside(t-\omega_{max}) \times \sin(\omega_{max}t)$
This isn't bandlimited since a rectangular pulse is a $\text{sinc}$ in the frequency domain. What I want to do is low pass filter the signal first as described here. But I'm at a loss as to figure out what I should set my cut off frequency to, as the fourier transform of the signal doesn't die off at any frequency (unless I'm mistaken).
I feel like this should be a classical problem, but I can't find anything online. If you know of how to solve this problem, or you could point me to where to look, it would be greatly appreciated!
