Understanding the Sampling Theorem

The document discusses the sampling theorem, which is a fundamental principle of digital communications. It states that if a signal is bandlimited to a maximum frequency fM, sampling it at regular intervals Ts less than or equal to 1/(2fM) will uniquely determine the signal. The samples taken at times nTs, where n is an integer, can then be used to reconstruct the original signal without distortion. The time between samples, Ts, is called the sampling time. The theorem requires sampling fast enough such that at least two samples are taken during each period of the highest frequency component.

5.1 THE SAMPLING THEOREM. LOW-PASS SIGNALS We consider at the outset the fundamental principle of digital communications, the sampling theorem. Let m(t) be a signal which is bandlimited such that its highest frequency
spec- tral component is fM . Let the values of m(ti be determined at regular intervals separated by times Ts 1/2fM , that is, the signal is periodically
sampled every s seconds. Then these samples m(nTs ), where n is an integer, uniqueIy determine the signal, and the signal may be reconstructed from
these samples with no distor- tion. he time Ts is called the sampling time.
Note that the theorem requires that the sampling rate be rapid enough so that
at least two samples are taken during the course of the penod corresponding
to the highest-frequency spectral com-
