Abstract: Shannon sampling theorem is the basic theorem in signal reconstruction based ondiscrete sampling values in communication theory. The convergence rate of thisformula, however, is very slow. Professor Pen Rui-reng. after some slight compromiseon sampling rate, has come to the 3rd order, the 4th order and the 5th order samplingformulae. The calculation of the third order formula on the computer proves that itconverges much faster than the Shannon formula. This paper gives a general methodto comstruct a higher order sampling formula.
