Introduction
In this slecture I will discuss about the relations between the original signal $ X(f) $ (the CTFT of $ x(t) $ ), sampling continuous time signal $ X_s(f) $ (the CTFT of $ x_s(t) $ ) and sampling discrete time signal $ X_d(\omega) $ (the DTFT of $ x_d[n] $ ) in frequency domain and give a specific example showing the relations.
Derivation
The first thing which need to be clarified is that there two different types of sampling signal: $ x_s(t) $ and $ x_d[n] $. $ x_s(t) $ is created by multiplying a impulse train $ P_T(t) $ with the original signal $ x(t) $ and actually $ x_s(t) $ is $ comb_T(x(t)) $ where T is the sampling period. However the $ x_d[n] $ is $ x(nT) $ where T is the sampling period.
Now we first concentrate on the relationship between $ X(f) $ and $ X_s(f) $.
We know that $ x_s(t) = x(t) \times P_T(t) $, we can derive the relationship between $ x_s(t) $ and $ x(t) $ in the following way:
$ \begin{align} F(comb_T(x(t)) &= F(x(t) \times P_T(t))\\ &= X(f)*F(P_T(t))\\ &= X(f)*\frac{1}{T}\sum_{k = -\infty}^\infty \delta(f-\frac{n}{T})\\ &= \frac{1}{T}X(f)*P_\frac{1}{T}(f)\\ &= \frac{1}{T}rep_\frac{1}{T}X(f)\\ \end{align} $
Show this relationship in graph below:
