Given a periodic CT signal

Now if that same signal is ideally & uniformly sampled into a digital sequence such that the time domain into the integer, index with the corresponding sample such that | [ ] [ ].

However that resulting sequence may or may not be a DT periodic signal, which is based on the number of samples per signal period & the commensurability between the sampling period, if these conditions are both met there exists a DT Fourier which could be sampled discretely, & theoretically reconstructed back into its original CT periodic signal. Below shows the why the criteria of commensurability must be met Assuming & are commensurable, & ( ( ) ) | | ( ) [ ] [ ]

This result is due to

The discrete time signal in the first graph in the above figure part is aperiodic since [ ] we can a periodic extension of [ ] but shifted to the right & left by with spacing so that we may apply

in a limiting case to extend the class of signals that can be transformed. Thus the periodic [ ] [ ] [ ] to recover the

extension is shown in the second graph in the above figure represented as [ ] & in the limiting case can be shown that

Applying the

Thus the signal we have shown can confidently & without ignorance recover the original signal, also we now have an insight on what the transform should look like after applying the limits to both the DTFS & its inverse. The notation used is for independent variable for the analysis equation below, but later , will be instead, this will become relevant

once the z-Transform has been introduced.
