Digital Signals These are signals that are converted into electrical voltages or currents that vary between

two discrete levels. Regeneration of digital signal produces clean and accurate copy of the original. Data can be processed and stored very easily.

Analog Signals These are signals that are converted into electrical voltages or currents that vary continuously over a range. Regenerated analog signals always contain noise, etc.

It is less convenient to process and store analog signals than digital signals.

Some data is lost during digitization.

No data is lost during analog data conversion.
