- Analog
- F/A/VAn electrical signal that continuously varies in strength as related to some form of input.————————A&V• An adjective describing any signal that varies continuously as opposed to a digital signal, which contains discrete levels.• A system or device which operates primarily on analog signals.————————HDDescribes a continuously variable signal of some sort. Commonly used to describe equipment or methods that do not involve the electronic digitization of a signal into data. Examples are can be found in Audio Recording (Vinyl Records, Cassette tapes), Video Recording (BetacamSP, VHS), and Broadcasting (AM, FM, Conventional TV).————————PPA continuously varying signal, as opposed to digital where information is captured periodically in discrete samples. Due to its continuous nature, analog can be better at conveying small signal fluctuations where a digital signal with a low sample rate would miss them.————————WikiVA continuous electrical signal that carries information in the form of variable physical values, such as amplitude or frequency modulation. A signal which moves through a continuous range of settings or levels. An adjective describing any signal that varies continuously as opposed to a digital signal that contains discrete levels representing the binary digits 0 and 1.
