<p>Digitization is the process of converting continuous analog signals into a finite number of discrete states. It enables flawless transmission of information by ensuring that the states are sufficiently well separated so that noise does not create errors in the resulting digital signals.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Intrinsically digital information, such as numbers and words, lend themselves to processing and manipulation using purely digital techniques because they are already in a discrete state.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The drawback of digitization is that a single analog signal needs many discrete states, or bits, in order to give a satisfactory reproduction. For example, it requires a minimum of 10 bits to determine a voltage at any given time to an accuracy of ≈ 0.1%.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The incredible increase in the density of digital circuitry, its robust performance, its relatively low cost, and its speed have contributed to the explosion in digital techniques and technology.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>The requirement of using many bits in reproduction is no longer an issue due to the incredible increase in the density of digital circuitry, which allows for more efficient handling of digital signals.</p> Signup and view all the answers
