EE305 :: Assignment-2

Question 1. Discuss the steps to reconstruct a bandlimited signal from its samples.

Question 2. Consider the figure below.

Figure 1: Discrete-time processing of continuous-time signals,

The LTI system above has a frequency response

(
jw 1, |w| < wc ,
H(e ) = (1)
0, wc < |w| ≤ π.

The frequency response is perioddic with period 2π. For bandlimited inputs sampled at or above
the Nyquist rate, it follows that the overall system of above Figure will behave as an LTI
continuous-time system with frequency response
(
1, |ΩT| < wc or |Ω| < wc /T,
Heff (jΩ) = (2)
0, |ΩT| ≥ wc or |Ω| ≥ wc /T.
