Sampling theorem says that we should sample at least at a double rate than the bandwidth of the signal : Fs>=2B.
Ideally Fs==2B e.i. oversampling is unnecessary.
However, there's always noise present in the signal. Hartley's theorem connects the SNR with the bandwidth and the sampling rate for a binary digital signal : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon–Hartley_theorem
But I deal with an analog signal which is similar to an audio signal. What is the relation between the sampling rate and the SNR?
Wiki about oversampling:
"Noise reduction/cancellation. If multiple samples are taken of the same quantity with a different (and uncorrelated) random noise added to each sample, then averaging N samples reduces the noise variance (or noise power) by a factor of 1/N"
I cann't find the proof of it.
To precise my question, I have an oversampling signal acquiring system and the oversampling normally improves the accuracy in spectrum calculation. Matlab simulation confirms it.
I'd like to have a mathematical proof of this.
Thank you
