Sampling theorems for bandlimited functions or distributions are obtained by exploiting the topological isomorphism between the space \(E(R)\) of distributions of compact support on \(R\) and the Paley-Wiener space \(PW\) of entire functions satisfying an estimate of the form \(| f(z)| \leq A (1 + | z|)^N e^{ B | \text{Im } z | }\) for some nonnegative constants \(A, B, N\). The authors obtain sampling theorems for \(f \in PW\) by expanding its Fourier transform in a series converging in the topology of \(E(R)\) and whose coefficients are samples taken from \(f\). By Fourier duality, the authors obtain a sampling theorem for \(f\) in the space \(PW\). These sampling expansions converge, in fact, uniformly on compact sets of \(C\), since convergence in the topology of \(PW\) implies uniform convergence on compact sets of \(C\). This procedure makes it possible to recover previous sampling theorems in a unified way. The authors also present further expansions of Paley-Wiener functions obtained by expanding their Fourier transforms as series involving Legendre or Hermite polynomials.
