Sampling Dirac function and a DC signal
Can we sample the Dirac function?
$$ x(t) = \delta(t) $$
Can we sample a DC signal?
$$ x(t) = 1$$
I think that we can't sample $x(t) = 1$ because the Fourier Transform of $x(t) = 1$ is $2\pi \delta(...

Can I sample at Nyquist rate if I know that my samples are taken only at the signal's maxima or minima?
I know that in general the sampling rate, $f_s$, must be greater than twice the highest frequency of the signal, $f$.
If I sample at the Nyquist rate, it can lead to the following:
However, if the ...
