Signals: - Analog and Digital - Aperiodic and Periodic Signals - Analog Signals

The document discusses different types of signals used to transmit data including analog signals which can have an infinite number of continuous values, digital signals which have a limited set of discrete values, periodic signals which repeat at regular intervals, and aperiodic signals which do not repeat. It provides examples of analog signals being human voice and digital signals being data stored on a computer in 0s and 1s. Figures are included showing how information is transformed into signals and examples of analog versus digital signals and periodic versus aperiodic signals.

Signals
Data must be transformed into electromagnetic signals prior to transmission across a network. Data and signals can be either analog or digital. Analog signals (continuous) can have an infinite number of values in a range. Digital signals (discrete) can have only a limited number of values. Analog data is human voice. When someone speaks, a continuous wave is created in the air. Digital data is data stored in computer memory in the form of 0s & 1s. It is converted to a digital signal when it is transferred from one position to another inside or outside the computer.
