4. Sampling Theory In many applications it is useful to represent a signal in terms of sample values taken at appropriately spaced intervals. The signal can be reconstructed from the sampled waveform by passing it through an ideal low pass filter. In order to ensure a faithful reconstruction, the original signal must be sampled at an appropriate rate as described in the sampling theorem. –A real-valued band-limited signal having no spectral components above a frequency of B Hz is determined uniquely by its values at uniform intervals spaced no greater than seconds apart.

5. Sampling Block Diagram Consider a band-limited signal f(t) having no spectral component above B Hz. Let each rectangular sampling pulse have unit amplitudes, seconds in width and occurring at interval of T seconds. A/D conversion f(t) T f s (t) Sampling

11. Interpolation Formula

12. Interpolation If the sampling is at exactly the Nyquist rate, then

13. Practical Interpolation Sinc-function interpolation is theoretically perfect but it can never be done in practice because it requires samples from the signal for all time. Therefore real interpolation must make some compromises. Probably the simplest realizable interpolation technique is what a DAC does.

15. Under Sampling, Aliasing

16. Avoid Aliasing Band-limiting signals (by filtering) before sampling. Sampling at a rate that is greater than the Nyquist rate. A/D conversion f(t)f(t) T f s (t) Sampling Anti-aliasing filter

26. Bandpass Sampling A signal of bandwidth B, occupying the frequency range between f L and f L + B, can be uniquely reconstructed from the samples if sampled at a rate f S : f S >= 2 * (f2-f1)(1+M/N) where M=f 2 /(f 2 -f 1 ))-N and N = floor(f 2 /(f 2 -f 1 )), B= f 2 -f 1, f2=NB+MB.
