Introduction
For real world application, higher sampling rates are preferred because reconstruction doesn't require filter to be as close to the ideal (sharper cutoff). This leads to the question, can you use
$ {x}_{1}[n] = x_{c}(n{T}_{1}) $
to obtain
$ {x}_{u}[n] = {x}_{c}(n{T}_{u}) $ without having to fully reconstruct $ {x}_{c}(t) $
assume $ {x}_{c}(t) $ is a bandlimited CT signal, $ {x}_{1}[n] $ is a DT sampled signal of $ {x}_{c}(t) $ with sampling period $ {T}_{1} $
