WHAT IS SIGNAL Flashcards
Is an electromagnetic or electrical current that carries data from one system or networks to another
Signal
signal uses given property of the medium to convey the signal’s information, such as electricity moving though a wire.
Analog signal
signals are often calculated responses to changes in light, sound, temperature, position, pressure, or other physical phenomena.
Analog signals
TWO MAIN TYPES OF SIGNALS
ANALOG SIGNALS AND DIGITAL SIGNALS
Is a signal that represents data as a sequence of discrete values
DIGITAL SIGNAL
a signal can only take on one value from a finite set of possible values at a given time.
Digital signal
Digital signal is use in
computing, equipment and data transmission device
Give the electronic components
resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, and operational amplifier
circuits are usually more susceptible to “noise” with “noise” being any small, undesired variations in voltage.
Analog circuit
can be complex designs with multiple components or they can be simple, such as two resistors that form a voltage divider.
Analog Circuit
signals are commonly used in communication systems that convey voice,data,image,signal, or video information using continuous signal.
Analog signal
Two basic kinds of analog transmission
Amplitude modulation(AM) and frequency modulation(FM)
analog signal may be achieved via many methods :
Though a twisted pair or coaxial cable
Through an optical fiber cable
Through radio
Through water
implement components such as logic gates or more complex digital IC
Digital electronics
MCU
microcontroller
DSP
Digital signal processors
are commonly used in communication system where digital transmission can transfer data over point to point or point to multipoint transmission channels such as copper wires optical fibers wireless communication media storage media or computer buses.
DIGITAL SIGNALS
ADC
analog to digital
