ANALOG AND DIGITAL
SIGNAL
 DEFINITION
• Analog Signal Digital Signal
Analog signal is an ac Digital signal is a
or dc current that series of pulses or
varies smoothly and voltage levels that
continuously over a vary in discrete steps
period of time. or increments.
The electronic circuit The electronic circuits
that produces this that produce this
signal are called analog signals are called
circuit. digital logic.
 ANALOG VS DIGITAL SIGNAL

Analog Digital
• Analog signal are • Digital signal are non-
continuous electrical continuous signal
signal • Consist of pulses or
• Analog signal represent digit level or values
some physical quantities • Digital signals have
example : temperature, two amplitude levels
height, weight. nodes ( 1 or 0, HIGH
• Most of time, the or LOW, TRUE or
variations follow of non- FALSE)

 Advantages & Disadvantages
Analog signal

Advantages Disadvantages
• Analog signal is • Analog signal tends
their processing to be distorted and
may be achieved lost by the effect
more simply than of temperature and
with digital noise .
because it use low
bandwidth
 Advantages & Disadvantages
Digital signal
Advantages Disadvantages
• Accuracy and • Digital communication
precision are easier to required greater
maintain throughout bandwidth than
the systems. analogue to transmit
• Allow transfer much the same information.
higher bandwidth (the • The detection of
amount of information signal requires the
that can be transfer) communication system
to be synchronized.
