Study Notes
Data Types
- Data can be classified as analog or digital.
- Analog data represents continuous information with an infinite range of values.
- Digital data consists of discrete values or states, with clear separations between them.
Continuous vs. Discrete Data
- Discrete data has finite values and can be counted.
- Continuous data can take an infinite number of values and can change over time.
Signals Classification
- Signals are divided into analog and digital types.
- Analog signals can assume an infinite number of values within a given range.
- Digital signals have a limited number of discrete values.
Periodic Analog Signals
- Periodic analog signals can be simple or composite.
- A simple periodic signal is a sine wave that cannot be broken down further.
- A composite periodic signal combines multiple sine waves.
Sine Wave Characteristics
- Power fluctuations in homes can be modeled with a sine wave, commonly around 110-120 V RMS.
- Peak voltage for this sine wave can range from 155 to 170 V, calculated as Peak Value = 2.5 × RMS Value.
Battery Voltage
- The voltage of a standard AA battery is approximately 1.5 V.
- Battery dimensions are standardized at 51 mm in length and 14 mm in diameter.
Time and Frequency Concepts
- Frequency and period are reciprocally related; high frequency indicates rapid change over time, while low frequency indicates gradual change.
- A signal with no change has zero frequency, and instantaneous changes imply infinite frequency.
Phase of a Waveform
- Phase defines the position of a waveform at time 0, impacting the signal's overall shape and behavior.
Signal Examples and Calculations
- Home power frequency in the U.S. is typically 60 Hz.
- Conversion examples illustrate period and frequency measurements, such as converting 100 ms to microseconds or calculating signal frequency in kilohertz.
