For every ϵ>0, choose a nonzero smooth spectral bump supported in (−ϵ0​,ϵ0​) with ϵ0​<min(ϵ,π), and let h be its inverse Fourier transform. Then g is a nonzero Schwartz function, vanishes on all integer samples, and its transform is the difference of bumps shifted to π and −π. Its support lies strictly within [−π−ϵ,π+ϵ]. Thus even a small bandwidth increase destroys uniqueness from unit-spaced samples.
