SIGNALS
SIGNAL
- energy applied to a circuit to cause it to perform an
intended action, such as
transmission or reception of information
1. ANALOG SIGNAL
- any continuous signal for which the time varying feature (variable) of the
signal
is a representation of some other time varying quantity
- nominally continuous electrical signal that varies in amplitude or frequency
inresponse to changes in sound, light, heat, position, or pressure
- continuously varying representation of a condition, physical phenomenon, or
quantity such as flow, pressure, or temperature, transmitted as electrical,
EXAMPLES:
THERMOMETERS
CLASSICAL MECHANICS
used for describing the motion of macroscopic objects, from projectiles
to parts of machinery, as well as astronomical objects, such as
spacecraft, planets, stars, and galaxies
PNEUMATICS
the use of pressurized gas to affect mechanical motion
Pneumatic power is used in industry, where factory machines are
commonly plumbed for compressed air; other compressed. Pneumatics
also has applications in dentistry, construction, mining, and other areas
Summary
[Link] octal and hexadecimal number systems are used in digital systems and computers
as efficient ways of representing binary quantities.
[Link] conversions between octal and binary,one octal digit corresponds to the three
[Link] conversions between hex and binary,each hex digit corresponding to four bits.
[Link] repeated-division method is used to convert decimal numbers to binary,octal,or
hexadecimal.
[Link] a N-bit number ,we can represent decimal values from 0 to 2 power of N-1.
[Link] BCD code for a decimal number is formed by converting each digit of the decimal
number to its four –bit binary equivalent.
6.A byte is a string of eight bits.
[Link] Alphanumeric code is one that uses groups of bits to represent all of the various
characters and functions that are part of a typical computer’s [Link] ASCII code is
the most widely used alphanumeric code
