Sampling Theory

Let x(t) be a band-limited signal with $ X(j\omega) = 0 $ for $ |\omega| > \omega_M $. Then x(t) is uniquely determined by its samples $ x(nT), n = 0, \pm 1, \pm 2,..., \mbox{ if} $
$ \,\!\omega_s > 2\omega_M $
where
$ \omega_s = \frac{2\pi}{T} $ .
Given these samples, we can reconstruct x(t) by generating a periodic impulse train in which successive impulses have amplitudes that are successive sample values. This impulse train is then processed through an ideal lowpass filter with gain T and cutoff frequency greater than \omega_M and les than \omega_s - \omega_M. The resulting output signal will exactly equal x(t)

Observations

To determine if x(t) is band-limited, one must exam $ X(\omega) $ the Fourier transform of x(t).


$ \,\!p(t) = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{+\infty}\delta (t - nT) $
