Analog signals
n n
Continuously and infinite levels Contain a lot of information in a little bit of signal.
n
Variation in frequency, amplitude, phase . DC analog signal provides no information, only power.
Analog building blocks do mathematical operations on signal. This is why they were names analog signals, because they were used to mimic the behavior of physical systems, thus the signals are analogous to real world.
