Discrete-time Signals
There are two ways to obtain discrete time signal.
a) Can be computed using a formula such as
x[n]= n2 - 5n +3
b) Sample the continous time signal. x(t) = A cos (ot + )
Signal represented as an indexed sequence of numbers which are samples of x(t) at Ts interval
x[n] = x(nTs)
Sampling x(t)
Sampling Theorem
Continuous-time signal x(t) with frequencies no higher than fmax can be reconstructed from its samples x(k Ts) if samples taken at rate fs > 2 fmax
Nyquist rate = 2 fmax Nyquist frequency = fs / 2 Sampling theorem also suggests that there should be two samples per cycle.
Example: Sampling audio signals
Normal human hearing is from about 20 Hz to 20 kHz

The Concept of Aliasing
Two different cosine signals can be drawn through the same samples x1[n] = cos(0.4n) x2[n] = cos(2.4n) x2[n] = cos(2n + 0.4n) x2[n] = cos(0.4n) x2[n] = x1[n]
