SIGNALS
Signals are p%ysical 3uantities t%at are functionsof an independent !ariale (suc% as time) and
contain information aout a natural
p%enomenon
T&o types of signals may e defined4 digital andanalogue
- Digital signals pro!ide information regarding
t%e !oltage state (typically %i or lo&) and5or t%e rate of c%ange of t%ese states
- An analogue signal typically pro!ides !oltage
le!el, s%ape or fre3uency content information

Signal types and classes
ADC - analogue to digital con!erter, &%ic% con!erts t%e analogue signal
into a digital signal &%ic% can e read y a computer DAC - digital to analogue con!erter, &%ic% con!erts a digital signal to an
analogue signal TT6 - transistor to transistor logic
T&o types of Digital signals
- on-off - pulse train, T%ree types of analogue
