Sampling Theorem Notes

The document discusses the Sampling Theorem, which states that a continuous-time signal can be perfectly reconstructed if sampled at a rate greater than twice its maximum frequency. It also covers the spectra of sampled signals, reconstruction techniques like ideal interpolators and zero-order hold, and the effects of aliasing, which occurs when the sampling frequency is insufficient. Additionally, it contrasts continuous and discrete time systems, highlighting the role of sampling in connecting both domains.

Sampling Theorem & Signal Processing Notes

1. Sampling Theorem
A continuous-time signal can be perfectly reconstructed from its samples if it is bandlimited and
sampled at a rate greater than twice the maximum frequency (Nyquist rate).

2. Spectra of Sampled Signals


Sampling creates replicas of the original spectrum at multiples of sampling frequency. Proper
sampling avoids overlap.

3. Reconstruction Techniques

Ideal Interpolator: Uses sinc function for perfect reconstruction.

Zero-Order Hold (ZOH): Holds each sample constant, creates staircase output.

First-Order Hold (FOH): Uses linear interpolation between samples.

4. Aliasing
Occurs when sampling frequency is less than Nyquist rate, causing spectral overlap and distortion.

5. Effects of Aliasing
Irreversible distortion, incorrect frequency representation.

6. Continuous vs Discrete Time Systems


Continuous systems use differential equations; discrete systems use difference equations.
Sampling bridges both domains.
