Sampling theorem- As long as a signal is both band-limited and the period is small enough then the signal can be recovered using Xd[n]]X(nT).

Questions you should ask yourself when tackling these problems:

  1. Is the signal band-limited?
  2. What is the nyquist rate? (2wm)
  3. Does it meet the nyquist condition?(ws>2wm)
  4. If the nyquist condition is not met, does the signal overlap?

Things you keep in mind when tackling these problems:

  1. If a signal does not meet the nyquist condition but the impulse train does not overlap then the signal can still be recovered by applying a filter.
  2. A rec in the time domain is equivalent to a sinc in the frequency domain.
  3. A sinc in the time domain is equivalent to a rec in the frequency domain.
  4. Time shifting (Ex: $ x(t-t_0) \ $->$ e^{-j\omega t_0}X(\omega) $ ) does not affect the nyquist rate.
  5. Frequency shifting (Ex: $ e^{j\omega_0 t}x(t) $ -> $ \mathcal{X} (\omega - \omega_0) $) affects the nyquist rate.
