T1 — Noiseless Digital Communication
Analog signal: Continuous value, varies continuously in time.
Digital signal: Discrete values only (e.g., 0/1).
ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter): Sampling, then Quantization, then Encoding.
Sampling and Quantization
- Sampling: Periodic snapshots of the analog signal.
- Nyquist rate: Sample at least 2x the max frequency to reconstruct without loss.
- Quantization: Rounding each sample to the nearest discrete level.
- Quantization error/noise: Real value vs. assigned level;
