8. Sampling and Interpolation 8.1 Sampling A continuous-time signal can be converted to a discrete signal by the sampling process. This is a useful operation since it allows continuous-time signals to be manipulated by digital processors and other discrete devices. The objective of sampling is to represent the continuous signal uniquely and accurately using a discrete-time signal by controlling the sampling rate and sampling waveform pulse shape. The discrete-time signal can be converted to a continuous-time signal by the inverse operation known as interpolation. 8.1.1 Impulse Sampling A
