\section{Introduction}
Sampling converts a continuous signal into a discrete sequence. The Nyquist theorem
requires the sampling rate $f_s$ to satisfy
\begin{equation}
f_s > 2 f_{\max},
\end{equation}
where $f_{\max}$ is the highest frequency present in the signal.
\section{A Small Table}
\begin{tabular}{lr}
\hline
Rate (kHz) & Bits \\
\hline
44.1 & 16 \\
48.0 & 24 \\
96.0 & 24 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\section{Conclusion}
Choose $f_s$ and bit depth to match the signal and the use case.

What is a .tex file?
TeX/LaTeX is a plain-text typesetting language widely used for scientific and technical documents. A .tex source file describes structure (sections, lists, tables), mathematics, and references with markup commands, and a TeX engine compiles it — usually to PDF. It is the standard in mathematics, physics, and academic publishing.
How to use this file
Use an example .tex file to test LaTeX editors and linters, syntax highlighting, and source parsing, or as input for a TeX-to-PDF or TeX-to-HTML conversion pipeline.
How to use this file for testing
“LaTeX Article (TEX source)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Editor testing, Conversion testing. Text-based files you can open, edit, and download directly in the browser editor.
Documented properties for this file: LaTeX. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Document fixtures list their internal structure (pages, fields, tracked changes, embedded objects) in the spec table. Test extractors, converters, and OCR against that known structure, and compare searchable↔scanned or format-twin companions when present.
