Signals
Signals are the fundamental building blocks of information
transmission and processing in various electronic and
communication systems. They serve as the means to convey data,
control, and synchronization between different components and
devices.
Types of Signals
Digital Signals Analog Signals

Discrete, discontinuous signals that represent Continuous signals that vary smoothly over time,
