Module 3 : Sampling & Reconstruction
Lecture 24 : Realistic sampling of signals
 
Conclusion:
In this lecture you have learnt:
In practice a train of pulses is used for sampling a signal instead of a train of impulses.
Train of pulses p(t) is periodic and obeys Dirichlet's conditions.  It can be represented as a Fourier series and is used in deriving the condition for reconstruction of the original band-limited signal.

Any periodic signal whose Fourier series exists and has a non-zero average with fundamental frequency greater than twice the bandwidth of the band-limited signal can be used to sample it and the original signal can be reconstructed using an ideal low-pass filter
