Sampling

A discrete-time signal can be (and often is) obtained by sampling a continous-time signal. This operation is defined as taking the values of xc[t] at times t = nT, and assigning those values to xd[n]. The parameter T is called the sampling interval.

Definition of sampling:

In[9]:=

  xd[n_] := xc[t] /. t->nT

Example: sampling a sinusoid
