Elec442 Lecture 3

Lecture 3 covers the concepts of sampling and reconstruction of signals in digital signal processing. It emphasizes the importance of the Nyquist rate for accurate signal recovery and discusses the process of converting analog signals to digital form and back. Additionally, it highlights practical sampling rates for different types of signals such as speech, audio, and video.

Sampling and
Reconstruction
of Signals
Sampling

 To use digital signal processing techniques on continuous-time signals, we


need to them into a sequence of numbers. This is done by taking samples of
the analog signal periodically (one evert T seconds):

 The sampling frequency has to be large enough so that the signal


can be recovered from the samples x[n]. The limit is the Nyquist rate that is
twice the highest frequency of the analog signal. That is, if the highest
frequency of the signal is B Hz. the sampling rate need to be greater than (or
at least equal to) 2B samples per second.
Sampling

 If the signal is an aperiodic signal with finite energy, its spectrum is:

 And it can be recovered from its spectrum using:


Sampling

 The spectrum of a discrete-time signal is:

 Or equivalently,
Sampling

 The signal x[n] can be recovered from the spectrum:

The relationship beteen time in analog domain (t) and digital domain (n) is:
Sampling

 In fact x[n] represents a sequence of samples of the analog signal at time nT:

So,

The relationship between analog and digital frequencies is:


Sampling

 Substituting in in the equality in the previous slide, we get:

So,

 The right-hand side can be written as,


Sampling
 We observe that in the interval to is identical to
in the interval /2 to /2, so:

We have used the fact that


Sampling
 Comparing the equations in the previous two slides, we get,

 Or equivalently,

 So if 2 , that is, if the sampling rate exceeds the Nyquist rate, the
analog signal, then the analog signal can be recovered from the samples,
Reconstruction
 Given the sampled signals spectrum X(f), we get,

 From Fourier transform,

 We have

Sampling (Nyquist) Theorem
Sampling: Example
 Speech Signals mainly contain components in frequencies less that 3400 Hz.
So, 6800 samples per second is the minimum sampling rate. To make
reconstruction easier (less sharp filters) 8000 samples are taken per second.
That is one sample every 1 (micro-seconds).
 Audio contains frequencies up to 20 kHz. So minimum is 40,000
samples/sec. Usually 44.1 k samples are taken each second.
 Video: The number of samples for a video signal depends on the number of
pixels (picture elements) per frame and the number of frames per second.
Discrete-Processing of Analog Signals
 First the analog signal is digital signal using Analog-to-Digital (A to D or A/D)
converter, then it is processed by the Discrete-Time (most often Digital)
system and then reconverted to Analog using D/A converter.
