1. Sampling Theory
In many applications it is useful to represent a signal in terms
of sample values taken at appropriately spaced intervals.
The signal can be reconstructed from the sampled waveform
by passing it through an ideal low pass filter.
In order to ensure a faithful reconstruction, the original signal
must be sampled at an appropriate rate as described in the
sampling theorem.
– A real-valued band-limited signal having no spectral
components above a frequency of B Hz is determined
uniquely by its values at uniform intervals spaced no
greater1 than
2B
seconds apart.

11. Practical Interpolation
Sinc-function interpolation is theoretically perfect but it
can never be done in practice because it requires samples
from the signal for all time. Therefore real interpolation
must make some compromises. Probably the simplest
realizable interpolation technique is what a DAC does.

When the signal is not band - limited (under sampling)
aliasing occurs .To avoid aliasing, we may limit the
signal bandwidth or have higher sampling rate.

24. Bandpass Sampling
A signal of bandwidth B, occupying the frequency range
between fL and fL + B, can be uniquely reconstructed from the
samples if sampled at a rate fS :
fS >= 2 * (f2-f1)(1+M/N)
where M=f2/(f2-f1))-N and N = floor(f2/(f2-f1)),
B= f2-f1, f2=NB+MB.

27. Time Division Multiplexing
Entire spectrum is allocated for a channel (user) for a limited time.
The user must not transmit until its

next turn.

Advantages: Time
– Only one carrier in the medium at any given time
– High throughput even for many users
– Common TX component design, only one power amplifier
– Flexible allocation of resources (multiple time slots).

28. Time Division Multiplexing
Disadvantages
– Synchronization
– Requires terminal to support a much higher data rate than the
user information rate therefore possible problems with
intersymbol-interference.
Application: GSM
GSM handsets transmit data at a rate of 270
kbit/s in a 200 kHz channel using GMSK
modulation.
Each frequency channel is assigned 8 users, each
having a basic data rate of around 13 kbit/s
