Digital Signals
Ans: -Discrete or quantized
-Used for processing, storage, and transmission
Sampling
Ans: -analog is sampled at regular intervals to generate a
digital signal, which approximates the the analog waveform
-original analog info may be recovered from the digital signal
Digital convergence
Ans: Access to data, voice and video through single, digital
user interface.
advantages of digital tech
Ans: -VLSI and the cost of digital circuitry
-Error Correction and Control: A digital signal, since it is a
pattern of bits, can be checked for errors, and the original
signal may be regenerated.
-Data integrity and reliability in transmission: Less susceptible
to noise, as original signal can be recovered from distorted
signal.
