Differentiate: Analogue Signal Transmission and Digital Signal Transmission

Question

Arpit Sundas · Accepted Answer

Differences between Analogue Signal Transmission and Digital Signal Transmission are as follows:Analogue Signal TransmissionDigital Signal TransmissionAnalogue transmission uses continuous signals to convey information.Digital transmission uses discrete signals to convey information.Analogue signals may degrade over distance, leading to loss of quality.Digital signals maintain quality over longer distances.Analog transmission typically has a lower data capacity.Digital transmission can carry more data in the same bandwidth.Analog transmission requires simpler equipment for sending and receiving signals.Digital transmission often requires more complex equipment, such as encoders and decoders.
