Rep Function:

A rep function periodically repeats another function with some specified period T ( basically sampling time). Mathematically a rep operator is a function x(t) convoluted with a summation of shifted deltas:

  $ rep_T  $ = $ x(t)* P_T (t)  $
                      = $ x(t)* \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(t-kT)  $
                      = $ \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}x(t) * \delta(t-kT)  $
                      = $ \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}x(t-kT)  $

If below is the x(t):

Then the $ rep_T $x(t) looks like:

The resulting function is periodic with period T. To keep x(t) repeating without aliasing, the minimum sampling period should be $ \geqq 2 * T $

Comb Function

A comb function multiplies a function with a periodic train of impulses.

   $  comb_T  ${x(t)} = $  x(t) . \sum_{k=-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(t-kT)  $ = $  x(t) . P_T (t)  $
