3. Sampling, Reconstruction, and Aliasing: Time and Frequency Domains

Sampling, reconstruction, and aliasing are crucial concepts in signal processing that bridge continuous and discrete time signals, highlighting the importance of time and frequency domains. The chapter addresses the implications of sampling rates on signal accuracy and the potential for distortion through aliasing. Additionally, methods such as Fourier analysis and Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) are discussed, emphasizing their roles in analyzing signals over time and frequency.
