What is the effect of pulse duration on aperture effect? Justify your answer with suitable mathematical analysis. A narrowband signal has a bandwidth of 10 KHz centered on a carrier frequency of 100KHz.It is proposed to represent this signal in discrete time form by sampling its components .What is the minimum sampling rate that can be used for this representation? Justify your answer. How would you reconstruct the original narrowband signal from the sampled versions of the signal.
