In this article, we show that a real signal \(x(t)\) whose spectrum is bandlimited to \(B\) Hz, i.e., \(X(\omega)=0\) for \(|\omega|>2 \pi B)\), can be reconstructed exactly (without any error) from its samples taken uniformly at a rate \(f_s>2 B\) samples per second. In other words, the minimum sampling frequency is \[ f_s>2 B \] Hz.
NOTE: In some literature, \(f_s=2 B\) is be used, which is not correct.
