+Mathematically speaking, to sample a signal is equivalent multiplying a function with the the so called \emph{impulse train distribution} (aka Dirac comb).
+\[
+ s(t) = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty} \delta(t - nT),
+\]
+so we write \(\hat{x}(t) = s(t)\cdot x(t)\) to represent a sampled signal. Because of the special propertie of the Dirac delta, The spectrum of a sampled function \(\hat{x}\) is
\[
- \Comb_T (t) = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty} \delta(t - nT),
+ \hat{X}(f) = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty} x(nT) e^{-2\pi jfTn}.
\]
-so \(x[n] = \Comb_T(t)\, x(t)\).
-Interestingly the impulse train is periodic, and has thus a Fourier series with all coefficients equal to \(1/T\).
-So the Fourier transform of a comb is also a comb, i.e.
+This can be thought as a numerical approximation of the real spectrum \(X(f)\) which gets better as \(T \to 0\), i.e.
\[
- \Comb_T(t) \leftrightarrow \Comb_{1/T}(\Omega).
+ X(f) = \lim_{T \to 0} T\hat{X}(f).
\]
-
+If we have a finite number \(L\) of samples to work with, we will repeat them periodically and obtain what is known as the \emph{Discrete-Time Fourier Transform} (DTFT), i.e.
+\[
+ \hat{X}(f) \approx \hat{X}_L(f) = \sum_{n = 0}^{L -1} x(nT) e^{-2\pi jfTn}.
+\]
+
\subsection{Spectrum replication and aliasing}
+
+Notice that the impulse train is periodic, and has thus a Fourier series, whose coefficients all equal to \(1/T\) (\(= f_s\), the sampling rate). So the Fourier transform of a comb is also a comb. The consequence is that, because the Fourier of the product \(x(t)\cdot s(t)\) in the time domain becomes a convolution \(X(f) * S(f)\) where \(S(f)\) is an impulse train of Dirac deltas spaced \(1/T = f_s\) apart, what is called \emph{spectrum replication} happens, mathematically
+\[
+ \hat{X}(f)
+ = \sum_{n = -\infty}^{\infty} x(nT) e^{2\pi jfTn}
+ = \frac{1}{T}\sum_{m = -\infty}^\infty X(f - mf_s).
+\]
+In other words, the modulation of the property of the Fourier transform copies the baseband spectrum into integer multiples of the sampling frequency. This is why \(f_s \geq 2f_\text{max}\). The important result is that
+\[
+ X(f) = T \hat{X}(f), \quad
+ \text{for} \quad -\frac{f_2}{2} \leq f \leq \frac{f_s}{2},
+\]
+and if the sampling theorem is satisfied the exact original spectrum can be recovered with a low pass filter.
