### Band limited discrete signals division

If I take two analog, band limited signals $x(t)$ and $y(t)$ with non-zero $y(t)$ I can define the division: $$z(t) = \frac{x(t)}{y(t)}$$ In general $z(t)$ may have a very wide bandwidth, also ...

### Loosing information in decimation - without aliasing

We sample each other sample (01010101). Now say we have a signal - that is inside the original sample which has the pattern of (010-1). Decimation gives us 000 for this sub-signal. How to prove this ...
