This type of distortion results from under-

aliasing error or aliasing distortion.

However, if

employing an appropriate filter we can
reconstruct the original signal back.
To obtain the original signal back, it is
sufficient to filter the sampled signal by a low
pass filter with frequency response

This relation shows that if we use sine functions
for interpolation of the sampled values, we can
reconstruct the original signal perfectly.
Sampling Theorem:
The sampling rate

is the minimum
sampling rate at which no aliasing occurs.
This sampling rate is known as the Nyquist
sampling rate.
If sampling is done at the Nyquist rate,
then the only choice for the reconstruction
filter is an ideal low pass filter and .

In practical systems, sampling is done at a rate
higher than the Nyquist rate.
This allows for the reconstruction filter to be
realizable and easier to build.
