ANALOG COMMUNICATION
Analog communication is
the process of conveying
(sending, receiving, and
processing) of information
including image, voice, and
video by using continuous
signals or analog signals. Analog communication system
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION
Digital Communication is
the one which uses digital
signals for transmitting
information between source
and destination. Digital
signals are represented by a
square wave. This signal
consists of discrete values
rather than continuous
values. DIGITAL COMMUNICATION

ESSENTIAL PARTS OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Depending on their
characteristics, signals
are mainly classified into
two types: Analog and
Digital. Analog and
Digital signals are further
classified, as shown in
the following figure.
ANALOG SIGNAL
A continuous
time varying signal,
which represents a
time varying
quantity can be
termed as an Analog
Signal. This signal
keeps on varying
with respect to time,
according to the
instantaneous values
of the quantity,
which represents it.
DIGITAL SIGNAL
A signal which is
discrete in nature or which
is non-continuous in form
can be termed as a Digital
signal. This signal has
individual values, denoted
separately, which are not
based on the previous
values, as if they are
derived at that particular
instant of time.
