Application of Electrical Analog Signal


n

In 1875, Alexander Graham Bell figured out how


to change his voice into a continuously variable
electrical signal, send it through a wire, and
change it back to sound energy at the other end.

Today, the device that converts sound


energy to an analog voltage signal is
known as a microphone.

& analog components, and
uses both types of signals.
