Software-defined radios and cognitive radios are digital communications devices that hold and process information in digital domain. The first stage of interface between analog and digital worlds is the process called sampling. Given an analog information waveform x(t), sampling generates a discrete-time sequence x[n]. The important objective is to ensure that there is no information loss in representing the analog waveform x(t) by the sampled sequence x[n]. If this objective is indeed satisfied, then the sequence x[n] must be equivalent to the analog waveform x(t) in the sense that it is possible to reconstruct x(t) from the sequence of samples x[n].
Let ƒs denote the sampling rate (in the number of samples per second) so that is the corresponding sampling period. Let xs(t) denote the sampled version of x(t) as shown in Figure A.1:

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Data Platform Tech Lead
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
