    True
    False
  • Which of the following is NOT true about digital signals?
    They are easier and more reliable to transmit.
    They use binary values for data.
    They are replicas of sound waves.
    They have a faster rate of transmission.
  • Does this image represent an analog signal or a digital signal?

  • Why are analog signals prone to distortion & decreased transmission quality?
    Noise can interrupt the signals.
    Each phase cannot store enough information.
    The amplitude of a wave is too high.
    The frequency of waves changes quickly.
