Reconstruction of Bandlimited Signal From Samples
• Sampling can be viewed as modulating with impulse train
• If Sampling Theorem is satisfied
– The original continuous-time signal can be recovered
– By filtering sampled signal with an ideal low-pass filter (LPF)
• Impulse-train modulated signal
x s t
xnt nT

• Pass through LPF with impulse response hr(t) to reconstruct

• Overall system is equivalent to a continuous-time system
– Input and output is continuous-time
• The continuous-time system depends on
– Discrete-time system
– Sampling rate
• We’re interested in the equivalent frequency response
– First step is the relation between xc(t) and x[n]
– Next between y[n] and x[n]
– Finally between yr(t) and y[n]

Impulse Invariance
• Given a continuous-time system Hc(j)
– how to choose discrete-time system response H(ej)
– so that effective response of discrete-time system Heff(j)=Hc(j)
• Answer:
• Condition:
H ej Hc j / T
Hc j 0
/T
• Given these conditions the discrete-time impulse response can
be written in terms of continuous-time impulse response as
hn Thc nT
• Resulting system is the impulse-invariant version of the
continuous-time system
