Hello, I have some questions on sampling the bandpass signals. If I have a analog band pass signal with the frequncy range Fmin to Fmax,is it possible to sample with 2*(Fmax-Fmin) instead of The Nyquist frequncy ,2*Fmax? Is it sufficient to use a bandpass filter to reconstruct the analog signal from the sampled signal? If I use a filtering operation on the sampled signal,is it equivalent to the same operation on a signal sampled with Nyquist frequncy? Is there any difference in sampling narrowband pass signals and wide band pass signals? And can some one point out the resources on this topic which give the details of system design and mathematical details? Thanks in advance. Regards Kiran |

Hi! What you like to do is similar to what AM radios do. AM music are located somewhere between Fmin and Fmax. The radio "tunes" or shifts the bandpass signal to baseband so that it can send it to the speaker. To move it back to Fmin and Fmax, the radio "modulates" the signal. Regarding your filtering operation, it would be similar except for errors. You have to watch out for those errors. --emer On Wed, 28 Mar 2001, Kiran Gunnam wrote: > Hello, > I have some questions on sampling the bandpass signals. > > If I have a analog band pass signal with the frequncy range Fmin to > Fmax,is it possible to sample with 2*(Fmax-Fmin) instead of The > Nyquist frequncy ,2*Fmax? > > Is it sufficient to use a bandpass filter to reconstruct the analog > signal from the sampled signal? > > If I use a filtering operation on the sampled signal,is it equivalent > to the same operation on a signal sampled with Nyquist frequncy? > > Is there any difference in sampling narrowband pass signals and wide > band pass signals? > > And can some one point out the resources on this topic which give the > details of system design and mathematical details? > > Thanks in advance. > > Regards > Kiran > > _____________________________________ > Note: If you do a simple "reply" with your email client, only the author of this message will receive your answer.
