ABSTRACT

The sampling theorem, Eq. 1.4, provides a practical way of computing the discretetime Fourier transform of a sampled signal, Xdt (9), directly from the Fourier transform of the original continuous-time signal, X(w). This involves three steps: 1) linear scaling of the frequency axis according to B = wTo; 2) summation of an infinite number of frequency-shifted (continuous-time) Fourier transforms; and 3) scaling of the amplitude axis by 1/To.
