DIGITAL VS ANALOG...
1. Digital signals are represented by only two possible
- 1 (binary 1) or 0 (binary 0)
2. Sometimes call these values “high” and “low” or “ true” and “false”
Example: light switch , it can be in just two position – “ on ” or “ off ”.
3. More complicated signals can be constructed from 1s and 0s by stringing them end-to-end.
4. Analog electronics can be any value within limits.
Why choose digital signal?
All signals problem with noise
- Noise isn't just something that you can hear - the fuzz that appears on old video recordings also qualifies as noise. In general, noise is any unwanted change to a signal that tends to corrupt it.
Digital & Analog Quantities
a) Two ways of representing the numerical values of quantities :
i) Analog (continuous)
ii) Digital (discrete)
b) Analog : a quantity represented by voltage, current or meter movement that is proportional to the value that quantity
c) Digital : the quantities are represented not by proportional quantities but by symbols called digits
c.1.1 Digital system:
combination of devices designed to
manipulate logical information or physical quantities that are represented in digital forms
manipulate logical information or physical quantities that are represented in digital forms
Example : digital computers and calculators, digital audio/video equipments, telephone system.
d) Analog system:
contains devices manipulate physical quantities that are represented in analog form
Example : audio amplifiers, magnetic tape recording and playback equipment, and simple light dimmer switch.
