Introduction

We've seen that if ft f t is bandlimited to -ππ , we can reconstruct it from its samples at the integers exactly. The key to this was the fact that the DTFT of f s n f s n is just a periodic version of the CTFT of ft f t

Let's examine the situation in general

Relationship of CTFT and DTFT

What is the relationship of the CTFT of ft f t to the DTFT of f s n=ft f s n f t sampled at nT n T ?

Figure 2
Figure 2 (fig3.png)

We will use the following notation. Note that we will use different variables, ΩΩ and ωω, so that we do not get confused. ft CTFT FΩ f t CTFT F Ω fnT= f s n CTFT F s ω f n T f s n CTFT F s ω ft=12π-FΩωndn f t 1 2 n F Ω ω n

F s ω=n=- f s n-ωn=n=-fnT-ωn=n=-12π-FΩΩnTdΩ-ωn=12π-FΩn=-nΩTωdΩ=12π-FΩ2πr=-δω(ΩT2πr)dΩ=-FΩr=-δω(ΩT2πr)dΩ=-FΩr=-δ-TΩω2πrTdΩ F s ω n f s n ω n n f n T ω n n 1 2 Ω F Ω Ω n T ω n 1 2 Ω F Ω n n Ω T ω 1 2 Ω F Ω 2 r δ ω Ω T 2 r Ω F Ω r δ ω Ω T 2 r Ω F Ω r δ T Ω ω 2 r T (1)

F s ω F s ω is a sum of shifted (and scaled) Fω F ω 's. In order to get to our final results in Equation 3, we used the sifting property.

Relationship

Let us take a minute to examine this relation in 2 steps:

Axis Scaling

FΩFωT F Ω F ω T

note:

Ω=πTω=π Ω T ω , this covers the r=0 r 0 case in the sum above.

Periodic repetition

Fsω=1Tr=-Fω2πrT Fs ω 1 T r F ω 2 r T What this equation says is that we "plop down" a copy of 1TFωT 1 T F ω T at every multiple of 2π 2 (and sum up)..

Figure 5: You can see the periodic nature of Fsω Fs ω . Note that FωT F ω T is zero for everything beyond the interval of -ππ .

note:

Fsω Fs ω is 2π 2 -periodic, just like we know it should be.
Recall, T=sample period T sample period (i.e. each sample in the discrete-time has a distance of TT between them). Before, we saw that if T=1 T 1 (sample on the integers) and ft f t is bandlimited to -ππ we can reconstruct ft f t exactly from its samples fsn fs n .

General Case

Say ft f t is bandlimited to -ΩBΩB ΩB ΩB . Then if we sample with period TπΩB T ΩB , we can reconstruct ft f t exactly from its samples fsn fs n . Show this following the exact same steps as in the -ππ , T=1 T 1 case.

  • If ft f t is bandlimited to -ΩBΩB ΩB ΩB , then FωT F ω T , TπΩB T ΩB is zero outside of -ππ

  • then 1Tr=Fω2πrT 1 T r F ω 2 r T = DTFT of fsn=fnT fs n f n T is just a periodic version of 1TFωT 1 T F ω T Fsω=1Tr=-Fω2πrT Fs ω 1 T r F ω 2 r T

  • turning fsn fs n into an impulse sequence fimpt=n=-fsnδtnT fimp t n fs n δ t n T

Figure 8

  • From here we make some calculations and we get fimpt-fimpt-ωtdt=-n=-fsnδtnT-ωtdt fimp t t fimp t ω t t n fs n δ t n T ω t so, fimpt=n=-fsn-δtnT-ωtdt=n=-fsn-ωTn=FsωT fimp t n fs n t δ t n T ω t n fs n ω T n Fs ω T

  • to recover f ~ t=ft f ~ t f t from fimpt fimp t , we lowpass filter with cutoff frequency πT T (also the filter has a gain of 1T 1 T ).

(c) Reconstructed signal, which is identical to the original

If Gω G ω is "ideal", then = F ~ ω F ~ ω and the signal is reconstructed perfectly.

Example 1: You try one ...

Starting with the following signal, ft ft, and its CTFT, Fω F ω , use the same steps above to sample the signal, convert it into an impulse train, and then filter it to recreate the original signal.

My Favorites (?)

'My Favorites' is a special kind of lens which you can use to bookmark modules and collections directly in Connexions. 'My Favorites' can only be seen by you, and collections saved in 'My Favorites' can remember the last module you were on. You need a Connexions account to use 'My Favorites'.

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
