Sampling and Reconstruction

This document discusses sampling and reconstruction of continuous-time signals. It introduces key concepts including: - Sampling converts a continuous-time signal into a discrete-time signal by taking the value of the continuous signal at regular time intervals. - Reconstruction converts a discrete-time signal back into a continuous-time signal. - The sampling theorem states that a continuous-time signal with bandwidth W can be reconstructed perfectly from its samples if the sampling frequency is greater than 2 times the bandwidth (2W). Otherwise aliasing distortion may occur.

7.1. Sampling
7.1.1. Time-Domain Expression of Sampling
A continuous-time signal is converted into a discrete-time signal
by sampling. Sampling can be periodic or not. We consider periodic
sampling only. It is expressed as
x(n)=x
c
(t)|
t=nT
=x
c
(nT). (7.1)
x
c
(t) is a continuous-time signal. x(n) is the corresponding discrete-
time signal. T is the sampling interval.
7.1.2. Frequency-Domain Expression of Sampling
Let x
c
(t) be a continuous-time signal, X
c
(O) be the continuous-
time Fourier transform of x
c
(t), x(n) be a discrete-time signal, and
X(e) be the discrete-time Fourier transform of x(n). If x(n)=x

7.3. Sampling Theorem
Let x
c
(t) be a continuous-time signal with bandwidth W and x(n)
be the discrete-time signal obtained by sampling x
c
(t) with sampling
interval T. If
2t/T>W, (7.10)
x
c
(t) can be reconstructed from x(n) without distortion (figure 7.2).
Otherwise, the reconstruction may have distortion owing to aliasing
(figure 7.3).

c
(t) does not equal x
c
(t) either when there is a wideband noise.
However, the difference between x'

(t) can be decreased by
filtering x
