Signals Sampling Theorem
Signals Sampling Theorem
Signals Sampling Theorem
fs ≥ 2fm .
Proof: Consider a continuous time signal x(t). The spectrum of x(t) is a band limited to fm Hz i.e. the
spectrum of x(t) is zero for |ω|>ωm.
Sampling of input signal x(t) can be obtained by multiplying x(t) with an impulse train δ(t) of period Ts.
The output of multiplier is a discrete signal called sampled signal which is represented with y(t) in the
following diagrams:
Here, you can observe that the sampled signal takes the period of impulse. The process of sampling
can be explained by the following mathematical expression:

To reconstruct x(t), you must recover input signal spectrum X(ω) from sampled signal spectrum Y(ω),
which is possible when there is no overlapping between the cycles of Y(ω).
Possibility of sampled frequency spectrum with different conditions is given by the following diagrams:

Aliasing Effect
The overlapped region in case of under sampling represents aliasing effect, which can be removed by
considering fs >2fm
