#2) Let {s(nT), - < n < , n an integer} denote equi-spaced samples, taken once each T
seconds, of an analog signal s(t). This signal is not necessarily band-limited. Denote the Fourier
transform of this signal by S(f), where:

S( f )

s(t )e

j 2ft

d (t ).

a) Prove that if s(nT) = (nT) then:


1

S f 1.
T k
T

Carefully state any assumptions that you make, and show all the details in your proof.
b) Prove the converse to part a). That is, prove that if
1
k
S f 1.
T k

Then s(nT) = (nT).


c) Give an explicit example (via either an equation or a carefully labeled graph) of a signal s(t)
that is not band-limited and has a Fourier transform satisfying:
