Representation of Discrete Time Signals and
Spectral Transformation
Spectrum of a sampled signal:
s(t) = X
±(t ¡ nT ) $ S(!) = 2¼
T
n
xs(t) = xc(t) ¢ s(t) $
Sampling means multiplication
of continuous time signal with
pulse train
X

Xs(!) = 1

k
In frequency domain this translates
into convolution of signal spectrum
with spectrum of pulse train.
This is simply a copy and shift of
the spectrum to multiples of the
sampling frequency
