In the previous module on reconstruction, we gave an introduction into
how reconstruction works and briefly derived an equation used to
perform perfect reconstruction. Let us now take a closer look
at the perfect reconstruction formula:

In
Equation 5 we
used the fact that the integral of sinusoid over a complete
interval is 0 to simplify our equation.
So,

In order to understand a little more about how we can
reconstruct a signal exactly, it will be useful to
examine the
relationships between the fourier transforms (CTFT
and DTFT) in more depth.
