The low-pass filter used to select the signal m(t) need not
have an infinitely sharp cutoff.
The range from fM to fs fM is called a guard band
and is always required in practice, since a filter with
infinitely sharp cutoff is not realizable.

The sampling theorem
Typically in voice message communication, the voice
signal is band limited to fM 3.3kHz, fs is selected at
8 kHz. The guard band is 8-2*3.3kHz=1.4kHz
In the case Ts 1 2 fM there is an overlap between the
spectrum of m(t) and the spectrum of the DSB-SC
signal centered at fs
Accordingly, no filtering operation will allow an exact
recovery of m(t).
