Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between analog and digital signals?

  • Analog signals use Morse code while digital signals use ASCII.
  • Analog signals are always represented by sine waves, whereas digital signals use square waves.
  • Analog signals represent information using continuously varying voltage or current, while digital signals change in discrete increments. (correct)
  • Analog signals have lower frequency than digital signals.

What is the unit used to measure the number of cycles of a repetitive wave occurring in a given time period?

  • Morse code
  • Binary code
  • Hertz (Hz) (correct)
  • Wavelength

How is wavelength related to frequency?

  • There is no relationship between wavelength and frequency.
  • Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. (correct)
  • Wavelength and frequency are always equal.

Study Notes

Signal Types

  • Analog signals: continuously varying voltage or current signals, representing information like voice or video, e.g., sine waves.
  • Digital signals: change in discrete increments, typically use binary codes, e.g., Morse code for telegraphy and ASCII for computer data.

Frequency and Wavelength

  • Frequency: the number of cycles of a repetitive wave occurring in a given time period, measured in Hz (Hertz).
  • One cycle per second is equal to one hertz (Hz).
  • Wavelength: the distance between corresponding points of two consecutive cycles of a wave.
  • Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.

Transmission Concepts

  • Modulation: makes information signals compatible with transmission mediums.
  • Multiplexing: allows multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single medium.
  • Broadband transmission: the process of modulation, where the baseband signal modifies the carrier signal before transmission.
  • Baseband transmission: converts intelligence signals (analog or digital) directly into electronic signals compatible with the medium.
