Digital and Analog Comparison YOURNAME CLASS DATE PRESENTED TO Digital and Analog Comparison Technology is constantly changing in communications. The analog signal was used for several years and was limited in number and did not have the ability to handle the amount of data interchange used today, because of the size requirements. Analog signals are still used today, but are more complex and are in most circumstances converted to a digital signal. This paper will compare the different types of analog and digital technology we used and are currently using today. Telecommunication Analog/Digital Conversions In the data communication world, there are two basic types of signals that are used in transmitting media analog and digital. One form of data is captured is referred to as analog signal that can vary in amplitude (strength) and frequency (distance between wave-like peaks). The distance can be measure between the peaks in cycles per seconds, referred to as Hertz (Hz). Additionally, with digital signals, there are two states off or on that occur when there is a change in light levels. These signals are sent in a continuous flow and are measured in megahertz per second. This is similar in concept of the two
