2. Sampling, Reconstruction, and Aliasing

Sampling, reconstruction, and aliasing are crucial concepts in digital signal processing that facilitate the representation and analysis of signals. Through the Nyquist-Shannon Sampling Theorem, we learn how to accurately sample continuous signals and avoid issues like aliasing. The use of complex exponentials and Fourier analysis provides essential tools for understanding the frequency content of signals, making them fundamental in various applications such as communication systems and audio processing.
