yay....simulink+matlab :/ ideal sampling as long as fs>=2B and mag(G) = 0 for mag(f)>B ideal lowpass filter has impulse response of h(t) = 2H0Wsinc(2pi*Wt) zero crossings of h occur at t=+/-n/2W for n!=0 a sampled signal passed through an ideal lowpass filter yields the original signal sinc approximation ftw practical reconstruction: need a different function in place of sinc, since sinc is hard to deal with consider sig recon by use of zero-order hold sigs p(t) = rect((t-0.5Tp)/Tp) recon filter will gen g&(t) = sum(g(nTs)rect((t-nTs-0.5Tp)/Tp) since p is a time-shifted pulse, it has freq response P = Tp*sinc(fTp*pi)e^(-jpi*Tp) basically reconstructing out of stair step response will pass freqs above fs-B, so shifted replicas of G will corrupt the reconstructed sig freq response of P is not flat for freqs f=(1/Ts - B), flexible on other regions, because it doesn't matter equalizer passband response is E=Ts * fpi/sin(fTp*pi) * e^(-jf2pi*t0) on mag(f)<=B for finite filter gain, require Tp<1/B if Tp chosen very small, E = Ts*fpi/sin(fpi*Tp) ~~ Ts/Tp practical sampling aliasing is fun..., causes frequency content distortion going into PCM...getting into the stuff I know :D
