Sampling theorem:-
⮚ Basic Need for Sampling:-
Analog signals those are transmitted by a digital communication system are converted to digital form by
sampling the analog waveforms uniformly at discrete instants in time.
To convert a signal from continuous time to discrete time, a process called sampling is used. The value
of the signal is measured at certain intervals in time. Each measurement is referred to as a sample.
A continuous time signal can be represented in its samples and can be recovered back when
sampling frequency fs is greater than or equal to the twice the highest frequency component of
message signal
In general, to preserve the full information in the signal, it is necessary to sample at twice the maximum
frequency of the signal. This is known as the Nyquist rate.
i. e. fs≥2fm. .
⮚ we will need to sample at a higher rate to avoid losing information that is in the signal.
Basics of Sampling Theory:-
Consider a continuous time signal x(t).
Points:-
•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:
⮚ 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).
Sampling Frequency & Sampling Rate:-
⮚ Sampling Rate:-
• To discretize the signals, the gap between the samples should be fixed.
• That gap can be termed as the sampling period Ts. & Inverse of the sampling period is known
as sampling frequency or sampling rate fs .
The sampling rate should be such that the data in the message signal should neither be lost nor it
should get over-lapped.
The sampling theorem states that, “a signal can be exactly reproduced if it is sampled at the rate fs,
which is greater than or equal to twice the maximum frequency of the given signal W.”
Nyquist Theorem reviles the following fact:-
• The sampling theorem, which is also called as Nyquist theorem, delivers the theory of
sufficient sample rate in terms of bandwidth for the class of functions that are bandlimited.
⮚ If the signal is sampled above Nyquist rate, then the original signal can be recovered. The
following figure explains a signal, if sampled at a higher rate than 2w in the frequency
domain.
Aliasing Effect:-
⮚ If the same signal is sampled at a rate less than 2w, then the sampled signal would look like the
following figure.
We can observe from the above pattern that there is over-lapping of information, which leads to
mixing up and loss of information.
•This unwanted phenomenon of over-lapping is called as Aliasing.
⮚
Hence, the sampling rate of the signal is chosen to be as Nyquist rate. If the sampling rate is
equal to twice the highest frequency of the given signal W, then the sampled signal would look
like the following figure.
The overlapped region in case
of under sampling represents
aliasing effect, which can be
removed by
•considering fs >2fm
•By using anti aliasing filters
Types of sampling:-
• Impulse sampling.
• Natural sampling.
• Here, the top of the samples are flat i.e. they have constant amplitude. Hence, it is called as flat top sampling or
practical sampling.
• Flat top sampling makes use of sample and hold circuit.
