Sampling is the process of creating a signal from a function $f$ by taking samples in time steps segmented by some equal length $\Delta T$.
$
\frac{1}{\Delta T} = f
$
$\Delta T$ is typically measured in seconds and $f$ is measured in [[Hertz]].
In an ideal, as $\lim_{ \Delta T \to }0$, our collection of samples approaches the complete continuous [[Image]] of $f$.
Another definition is the [[Angular Frequency|angular sampling frequency]] , which is just teh sampling frequency multiplied with $2\pi$.
$\huge
\omega_{s} = 2\pi f_{s}
$
The [[Period]] of sampling is typically called the Sampling Interval.
