What is the frequency response of a filter with impulse response $h(t)=\frac{\cos(\omega_0t)}{\pi t}$?
Most of us have come across the impulse response of an ideal (continuous-time, unity gain) low pass filter with cut-off frequency $\omega_0$:
$$h_{LP}(t)=\frac{\sin(\omega_0t)}{\pi t}\tag{1}$$
The ...

Subtract Lowpass from Wire to Get Allpass
One technique to make a high pass filter is to subtract a lowpass filter from a wire (meaning subtract the output of the filter from the input as I have demonstrated in this post).
What lowpass can ...

Questions about the sampling frequency mapping relation to 2π
Continued from the previous two questions
Q3: When $f_o$ isn't a multiple of $F_s$ , can $F_s$ still map to $2\pi$？
Answer: $F_s$ always map to $2\pi$ under digital (normalized) frequency domain.
Q4:...

How and why does sample frequency Fs be mapped to 2π?
Q1: Can anyone give a further explanation on this sentence?
Each time $f_o$ is a multiple of $F_s$, the argument of the exponential is a multiple of $2\pi$
Q2: - must $f_o$ be a multiple of $F_s$?

Double the "speed", double the frequency?
Usually, when some sample is played-back at twice the rate it was recorded, the pitch of the recording sounds an octave higher.
For example: $g(t) = \sin(2 \pi f t)$ and $g(2t) = \sin(2 \pi f 2 t) \...
