The sampling fr e quency should b at le ast twic the highest fr e quency c ontaine d in the signal. This is usually referred to as shannons sampling theorem in the literature. A continuous time signal can be represented in its samples and can be recovered back when sampling frequency fs is.
If f2l 1r and f, the fourier transform of f, is supported. The lowpass sampling theorem states that we must sample at a rate, at. Natural sampling takes a slice of the waveform, and the top of the slice preserves the shape of the waveform. Shannons proof of the theorem is complete at that point, but. For continuoustime signal xt, which is bandlimited in the frequency domain is represented as shown in the following figure. There are no other sinusoidal signals with fundamental frequencies less than 1khz that have exactly the same samples as those in previous two examples. In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuoustime signal to a discretetime signal. While a real digital signal may have energy at half the sampling rate frequency, the phase is constrained to be either 0 or there, which is why this frequency had to be excluded from the sampling theorem. Sampling theorem in signal and system topics discussed. Consequence of violating sampling theorem is corruption of the signal. Implementations of shannons sampling theorem, a time.
A read is counted each time someone views a publication summary such as the title, abstract, and list of authors, clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the fulltext. In accordance with the sampling theorem, to recover the bandlimited signal exactly the sampling rate must be chosen to be greater than 2fc. Sampling theory for digital audio by dan lavry, lavry engineering, inc. Alternatively we can define a nyquist frequency based on a certain sampling. This distortion is commonly referred to as aliasing, a name suggestive of the. A sampler is a subsystem or operation that extracts samples from a continuous signal. The sampling theorem and the bandpass theorem university of. Specifically, for having spectral content extending up to b hz, we choose in form. We want to minimize the sampling frequency to reduce the data size, thereby lowering the computational complexity in data processing and the costs for data storage and transmission. Shannonnyquist sampling theorem ideal reconstruction of a cts time signal prof alfred hero eecs206 f02 lect 20 alfred hero university of michigan 2 sampling and reconstruction consider time samplingreconstruction without quantization. The nyquist theorem describes how to sample a signal or waveform in such a way as to not.
Here is a specific example demonstrating the difference between frequency sampling and windowing approach. Practically speaking for example, to sample an analog signal having a maximum frequency of 2kc requires sampling at greater than 4kc to preserve and recover. Nyquistshannon sampling theorem nyquist theorem and aliasing. Express the infinite sum as a function from frequency to amplitude i. A continuous time signal can be represented in its samples and can be recovered back when sampling frequency fs is greater than or equal to the twice. Nyquist discovered the sampling theorem, one of technologys fundamental building blocks. If we sample at a frequency higher than this, for example 3 hz, then there are more than enough samples to capture the variations in the signal.
Consider a bandlimited signal xt with fourier transform x slide 18 digital signal processing. Sampling theorem in this handout, we focus on impulse sampling because it.

However, we also want to avoid losing information contained in the. The sampling theorem specifies the minimum sampling rate at which a continuoustime signal needs to be uniformly sampled so that the original signal can be completely recovered or reconstructed by these samples alone.
