                         Continuous time signal
                  x(t) →          to                                     → x[n] = {x(nTs )}

                                               ↑ Ts = 1/fs ( Sampling time=1/sampling freq)

   ∗ Note that
   •   Time-index : n = 0, ±1, ±2, ±3, . . .
       ⇒ n is integer and cannot be 0.1, 0.5, 0.7, 1.8, . . . .
       ⇒ x[0.5], x[0.7], x[0.8] are NOT possible, i.e., NOT definable.
   •   EX :                 x(t) = cos(2πt), Ts :Sampling time
                   when        Ts = 1 sec                 ⇒   x1 [n] cos(2πnTs ) = (1)n = 1
                   when        Ts = 1/2sec                ⇒   x2 [n] cos(2πn1/2) = (−1)n
                   when        Ts = 1/3sec                ⇒   x3 [n] cos(2πn1/3s)
                   when        Ts = 1/π sec               ⇒   x4 [n] cos(2πn1/π) = cos(2n)
                      ⇒ x[n] = x1 [n] + x2 [n] is NOT possible.

•   Sampled continuous signal with various sampling interval Ts
     - For the fasten varying signals, the sampling interval should be more de-
       creased. in other words, sampling Time(Ts ) should be inversely propor-
       tional to signal freq.
                  Shannon Sampling Theorem (Nyquist Theorem)
      A continuous-time signal x(t) with frequencies no higher than fmax can be
       reconstructed exactly from its samples x[n] = x(nTs ), if the samples are
                                                                            1
     taken at a rate fs = 1/Ts that is greater than 2fmax , that is, fs =   Ts   > 2fmax .
                                                                 26
•    Corresponding discrete Signals
     * Different sampling times
 ⇒ Different scales.
    ⇒ Maps with different scales can not be put into together.
    ⇒ x1 [n] ± x2 [n] are NOT possible!
                                                                      27
•   Sampling sinusoids
                         x(t) = A cos(ω0 t + φ)
                               ⇓   Sampling with sampling time Ts
                {x(nTs )} = {A cos(ωnTs + φ)}
                         x[n] = A cos(ω̂n + φ) = Re{Aejφ · ej ω̂n }
                    Normalized freq. : ω̂ = ωTs = ω/fs

 4.2 Discrete-to-Continuous Conversion

            y(t) =          y[n]p(t − nTs ), where p(t) is an interpolator.
                     n=−∞
 •   Various interpolators p(t)
⇒ Zero crossing occurs at every sampling point.
                                                                        30
                               
                                1 : |t| < T /2

•   Zero-order hold     p(t) =
                                0 : Otherwise

                                                        s
•   First order linear interpolator   p(t) =
                                             0           : Otherwise
                                                                            31
•   Parabolic Interpolator p(t) : 2n d order polynomial with p(t) = 0 for
    t = 0, ±Ts , ±2Ts
•   Ideal Band limited Interpolator
                                                                               32
•   Oversampling
     - Oversampling : sampling freq. is much greather than the Nyquist freq.
     - With oversampling, the simples interpolator may reconstruct the continu-
       ous signal.
     - Ex : CD player, fmax ≈ 20 KHz ⇒ 4 or 3 times oversampling
