Re: Nyquist Sampling

I'd like to ask a couple very basic questions.  Being hands-on rather than
mathematically-focused I'm trying to visualize sampling in a project I'm
planning to start.

1. By sampling say a 3.1 kHz band-limited voice channel at the Nyquist rate
am I guaranteed to capture *all* the information in the channel?  Is nothing
lost (ignoring ADC resolution)?  More to the point: To know what the
original analog did between sample points can I simply interpolate
post-sampling and be able to see *everything* that I could see by looking at
the original analog, limited only by ADC resolution?

2. Is the following a valid way to envision how Nyquist sampling captures
all information in an analog waveform: a) we know that the waveform is
completely represented by its Fourier expansion, b) we know the highest term
in the expansion since the channel is band-limited, and c) every component
is sinusoidal and therefore predictable if defined by two sample points per
period.

Thanks for help with this simple question.

RF -

Pretty close.

1] 3.1 Khz voice is not to be truly bandlimited, so a little is lost.
Can be made not important.

2] Precise 2 point per period will not define sinus or cosinus. Takes
just a little more.
