The paper formulates ideal reconstruction of bandlimited signals from sufficiently spaced samples and connects that representation to the geometry of communication signals.
Scientific scope
The paper formulates ideal reconstruction of bandlimited signals from sufficiently spaced samples and connects that representation to the geometry of communication signals. This record covers sampled signal representation and reconstruction. It does not count the 1948 entropy/capacity theory again or claim sole priority for sampling; Shannon cites earlier mathematical and communication work. Ideal bandwidth and reconstruction assumptions do not describe arbitrary finite recordings.
