    This document discusses analog and digital signals. Analog signals are continuous and use a continuous range of values to represent information, like human voices. They are best suited for audio and video transmission. Digital signals use discrete binary values of 1s and 0s to represent data for computers. They are discrete and best for computing and digital electronics like PCs and phones. The key difference is analog signals are continuous while digital signals are discrete.

    Analog vs Digital Signals

    Rachel Block
    CS 391

    Types of Signals
    There are 2 types of signals that carry informationAnalog
    Digital

    Analog Signals
    is any continuous signal for which the time varying
    feature (variable) of the signal is a representation of
    some other time varying quantity
    Uses continuous range of values to represent
    information
    Example- human voices

    Analog Signal uses


    Best suited for audio and video transmission
    Applications: Thermometers, audio tapes, land line
    telephones

    Digital Signal
    Digital signals are discrete time signals generated by
    digital modulation.
    Uses discrete or discontinuous values to represent
    information
    Use Binary values (zero or one) to send and receive data
    between computers
    Examples- CDs

    Digital Signals uses


    Best suited for Computing and digital electronics
    Applications- PCs and Mobile Phones

    Sine Wave

    Square Wave

    Summary
    Analog
    Infinite range of values
    Continuous
    More exact values- more difficult to work

    Digital
    Finite range of values
    Discrete
    Less accurate- easier to work with

    Analog vs Digital?
    Analog Low cost
    Portable
    Infinite amount of data

    Digital
    faster rate of transmission
    More reliable
    Less errors
