Lab Exercise 4 - Sampling of Continuous-Time Signals

This document provides instructions for a lab exercise on sampling continuous-time signals. It includes MATLAB code examples and questions about: 1) Reconstructing a sampled sinusoidal signal and observing the aliasing effect when the sampling rate is below the Nyquist rate. 2) A program that reconstructs a sampled signal and the effect of varying the time range displayed. 3) How sampling affects the frequency spectrum and observing aliasing in the frequency domain plots for different sampling rates. The lab exercise demonstrates key concepts of sampling including the Nyquist rate, aliasing, and reconstruction through MATLAB simulations and analysis of the results.
