title: The Effect of Non-equispaced Sampling Instants, Sub-period Record Epochs, and Timebase Gain on the Information Content of Discretized Replicas of Periodic Signals.
abstract: The effect of non-equispaced sampling instants and timebase gain on the information content of the discretized replica of a periodic signal is examined. The effect of the duration of record epochs that are not equal to an integer number of signal periods on the information content of the discretized replica is also explored. A general model describing sampled and windowed data is provided and compared to related models developed by other researchers.
