Introduction to Analog Systems

What is an Analog System?

An analog system represents data with continuous signals, as opposed to digital systems that use discrete values. Analog signals are commonly used in audio, video, and radio transmissions.

Key Features of Analog Systems

• Continuous signal representation
• More susceptible to noise and interference
• Capable of representing natural phenomena, like sound and light, accurately

Applications of Analog Systems

Analog systems are widely used in audio devices (like microphones and speakers), video broadcasting, and certain telecommunications equipment.

Analog vs. Digital Systems

Unlike digital systems, which process data in binary format (0s and 1s), analog systems deal with a continuous range of values. While digital systems are often more precise and resistant to noise, analog systems are still preferred in specific domains for their simplicity and ability to accurately replicate real-world phenomena.
