Practice Question on sampling and reconstruction (related to Nyquist rate)

The signal

$ x(t)= \frac{\sin (3 \pi t)}{\pi t} $

is sampled with a sampling period T. For what values of T is it possible to reconstruct the signal from its sampling?

Answer 1

from the Table

x(w) = u(w+3pi)-u(w-3pi)

Thus the signal is bandlimited with a w_m = 3pi

We must sample above the Nyquist Rate which is equal to 2w_m or 6pi

w_s > 6pi

T = 2pi/w_s < 2/6 = 1/3

The signal can be reconstructed for all T < 1/3.

Instructor's comment: Why do you say that we "must" sample above Nyquist? Is it possible that one could still be able to reconstruct when sampling below Nyquist? -pm
