Understanding Sampling and Reconstruction

The document discusses sampling and reconstruction of 1D signals. It explains that the sampling frequency must be at least twice the highest frequency component of the original signal to perfectly reconstruct it without aliasing, according to the Nyquist theorem. It also shows different sampling rates can result in losing the original frequency or lower frequencies appearing instead. The Nyquist theorem aims to avoid aliasing, a distortion that occurs when the sampling rate is too low.

Nyquist Theorem

The highest frequency component in an continuous signal


determines the bandwidth of that signal. Suppose the highest
frequency component for a given analog signal is fmax. Such a
signal is called bandlimited signal.

According to the Nyquist Theorem, in order to perfectly


reconstruct the continuous bandlimited signal from samples, the
sampling frequency must be at least [Link]. If the sampling rate is
less than [Link] , some of the highest frequency components in the
analog input signal will not be correctly represented. When such a
discrete signal is converted back to continuous form, false
frequency components appear that were not in the original
continuous signal. This undesirable condition is a form of
distortion called aliasing.
