	Analogue electronics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Any information may be conveyed by an analogue signal, often such a signal is a measured response to changes in physical phenomena, such as sound, light, temperature, position, or pressure, and is achieved using a transducer.
		Analog ciruits are several times faster than their digital counterparts.
		Analog circuits will never cease to exist, but will continue to exist as an speciality field for high performance circuits, or as a high performance part of a digital chip, as integrated circuits with analog and digital circuits in the same substrate become more popular.

	Analog Signal Transmission
		In transmitting analog signals across a process plant or factory floor, one of the most critical requirements is the protection of data integrity.
		Normal mode noise enters the signal path as a differential voltage and cannot be distinguished from the transducer signal.
		By increasing the signal, nonlinear effects become dominant, as the signal amplitude is increased-it enhances the signal and the noise in the same proportion.

	Analog signal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An analog or analogue signal is any variable signal continuous in both time and amplitude.
		The primary disadvantage of analog signaling is that any system has noise--i.e., random variation.
		Clocks with hands are called analog; those that display digits are called digital.

	Analog Signal Transmission
		To understand the ways in which an analog signal is transmitted over a circuit, it is first important to understand the relationships that make analog signal transmission possible.
		V=IR While most single-channel analog signal transmissions use direct current (dc) variations in current or voltage to represent a data value, frequency variations of an alternating current (ac) also can be used to communicate information.
		While digital signals are essentially on/off (the pump is on or off, the bottle is there or isn't), analog signals represent continuously variable entities such as temperatures, pressures, or flow rates.

	The Rebirth of Computer Music by Analog Signal Processing
		An analog signal processing architecture is proposed consisting of a memoryless, multidimensional nonlinear function generator, a linear time-invariant system simulator, a non-volatile store, and interface, calibration, and control modules.
		With analog systems, conversely the problems and systems cost associated with connecting computing nodes are minor compared to those associated with designing the basic computing elements to meet performance requirements in the areas of component parameter spread, signal/noise ratio, distortion and crosstalk.
		Analog circuits offer another way to obtain the cost advantages associated with higher production volumes: products can be built with small (10-20) arrays of identical analog signal processing chips.

	The Fine Art of Analog Signal Sampling
		These two considerations involve breaking down the analog signal’s magnitude into discrete levels or steps (quantization) and setting the data sampling rate based on the signal’s maximum change frequency component (aliasing and the Nyquist Frequency).
		The number of discrete digital values available to represent the continuous analog signal is set by the number of bits contained in the digital converter.
		If we sample the signal at too low of a rate, the finer detail of the signal may be missed as it is converted to a digital equivalent.

	Definition: analog signal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-17)
		A signal that has a continuous nature rather than a pulsed or discrete nature.
		A nominally continuous electrical signal that varies in some direct correlation with another signal impressed on a transducer.
		(188) Note: For example, an analog signal may vary in frequency, phase, or amplitude in response to changes in physical phenomena, such as sound, light, heat, position, or pressure.

	PCRecording.com - - your best source for information on the Digital Audio Workstation.
		When the analog signal amplitude being sampled falls between a quantization interval (each bit), the system cannot resolve the analog amplitude of the input signal and simply truncates it.
		If you were to overlay the digital representation of the analog waveform over the analog shape, you would see that the digital shape roughly approximates the analog shape.
		One remedy is to increase the number of bits used to resolve the analog signal.

	What is analog? - a definition from Whatis.com
		- 1) In telecommunications, an analog signal is one in which a base carrier's alternating current frequency is modified in some way, such as by amplifying the strength of the signal or varying the frequency, in order to add information to the signal.
		An analog signal can be represented as a series of sine waves.
		The term originated because the modulation of the carrier wave is analogous to the fluctuations of the human voice or other sound that is being transmitted.
