Study Notes
Analog Data
- Analog data is continuous, meaning it can take on any value within a range.
- Analog signals are often used in data communications.
Periodic Analog Signals
- Periodic signals repeat over time.
- They can be classified by their frequency (number of cycles per second) and amplitude (magnitude of the signal).
- A simple periodic analog signal represents a single frequency.
Digital Signals
- Digital signals are discrete, meaning they can only take on a limited number of values.
- They are commonly represented as 0s and 1s (binary).
Sine Wave
- The relationship between peak value and root mean square (rms) value for a sine wave is that the rms value is equal to the peak value divided by the square root of 2.
Voltage Levels
- Voltage levels are a way of representing data with different electrical potentials.
- Digital signals use a limited number of discrete voltage levels to represent data.
Composite Periodic Analog Signal
- A composite periodic analog signal is a signal that is made up of multiple frequencies.
Signal Frequency and Period
- Frequency and period are inversely proportional.
- If the period of a signal is 100ms, its frequency is 10Hz.
Phase Shift
- Phase shift refers to the timing difference between two signals.
- A sine wave offset by 1/6 of a complete cycle has a phase shift of 60 degrees.
Frequency
- The frequency of a signal can be infinite only in a theoretical scenario where the period of the signal approaches zero.
Waveforms and Phase
- Phase refers to the position of a point on a waveform relative to a reference point.
Time-Domain and Frequency-Domain
- The time-domain representation of a sine wave shows its amplitude over time.
- The frequency-domain representation shows the signal's frequency content.
Composite Signals in Data Communications
- Composite signals are preferred over single-frequency sine waves in data communications because they can carry more information.
Fourier Analysis
- Fourier analysis decomposes composite signals into their individual frequency components.
Bandwidth of a Composite Signal
- The bandwidth of a composite signal is the difference between its highest and lowest frequencies.
Nonperiodic Composite Signals
- A composite signal is considered nonperiodic if it does not repeat over time.
Bandwidth of a Periodic Signal
- The bandwidth of a periodic signal is the difference between its highest and lowest frequencies.
Alarm Systems and Periodic Signals
- A composite periodic signal can represent the alarm system's various tones and frequencies.
Implication of a Periodic Signal
- A periodic signal implies that the signal repeats over time.
Bandwidth of a Periodic Signal
- If a periodic signal has a bandwidth of 20Hz and the highest frequency is 60Hz, the lowest frequency is 40Hz.
Nonperiodic Signals
- Nonperiodic signals are typically generated by random events.
Bandwidth of a Nonperiodic Composite Signal
- The bandwidth of a nonperiodic composite signal is determined by the difference between its highest and lowest frequencies.
Highest Frequency
- The highest frequency of a nonperiodic composite signal with a bandwidth of 200kHz is 200kHz higher than its lowest frequency.
AM Radio Stations
- Each AM radio station in the United States has an assigned bandwidth of 10kHz.
Analog TV Screen
- An old-fashioned analog TV screen with a resolution of 525x700 requires 3,675,000 cycles per second to send the signal (assuming a 30Hz refresh rate).
FM Radio Station
- An FM radio station requires a bandwidth of 200kHz in the United States to allow for high-fidelity audio transmission.
Frequency Range
- The range of frequencies present in a signal is called its bandwidth.
Analog TV Screen Pixel Rate
- An old-fashioned analog black-and-white TV screen needs to operate at a rate of 21,750,000 pixels per second if it scans the screen 30 times per second.
Digital Signal Information
- Digital signals can represent information like text, images, and audio.
