A concept meaning similar or cootparable in some respects The concept is used to describe the extent to which a graphic representation compares with a real object
(adj ) A concept meaning similar or comparable in some respects The concept is used to describe the extent to which a graphic representation compares with a real object
similar or correspondent in some respects though otherwise dissimilar; "brains and computers are often considered analogous"; "surimi is marketed as analogous to crabmeat
corresponding in function but not in evolutionary origin; "the wings of a bee and those of a hummingbird are analogous" similar or correspondent in some respects though otherwise dissimilar; "brains and computers are often considered analogous"; "surimi is marketed as analogous to crabmeat
Having analogy; corresponding to something else; bearing some resemblance or proportion;-often followed by to
corresponding in function but not in evolutionary origin; "the wings of a bee and those of a hummingbird are analogous"
Having analogy; corresponding to something else; bearing some resemblance or proportion; often followed by to
If one thing is analogous to another, the two things are similar in some way. Marine construction technology like this is very complex, somewhat analogous to trying to build a bridge under water. = similar. similar to another situation or thing so that a comparison can be made analogous to/with (analogus, from analogos, from ana- + logos )
in which the value of a data item (such as time) is represented by a continuously variable physical quantity that can be measured (such as the shadow of a sundial)
The traditional method of modulating radio signals so that they can carry information AM (amplitude modulation) and FM (frequency modulation) are the two most common methods of analog modulation Is a Circuit-Switched system that divides geographic areas into small areas called cells A cellular tower is built within each cell site Each tower's coverage is 1 mile to 20 miles in diameter A central computer in the system provider's office monitors the weakness/strength of the radio signals that emanate from a cell phone and can switch the cell signal from tower to tower as needed Also the system can switch the cell call into the public telephone system Each cell user occupies an entire frequency (no-sharing) and there are a limited number of users allowed per tower Frequency for Analog is 800 MHz (Back to top )
A continuously varying electronic signal Audio and video analog signals stored on tape deteriorate with each copy or generation In contrast see digital
Information represented continuously (without steps) Because computers require digital information, analog-to-digital converters are available to "condition" analog data before it is sent to a computer A watch with hands is usually analog One with only numbers is digital
The transmission of sound and visual information in the form of waves in the frequency spectrum For example, in an analog telephone transmission the human voice is transmitted as sound waves that can be detected by the ear "Analog" transmission is now being superseded by "digital" forms of transmission in many instances
Describes any device that represents changing values by a continuously variable physical property such as voltage in a circuit, fluid pressure, liquid level, and son on An analog device can handle an infinite number of values within its range By contrast, a digital device can only manage a fixed number of possible values For example, an ordinary mercury thermometer is an analog device, and can record an infite number of readings over its range A digital thermometer, on the other hand, can only display temperature in a fixed number of individual steps A method of signal representation by an infinitely smooth universe of numeric values Measurements that are characterized as analog include readings of voltage and current Compare with digital
A transmission method that employs continuous electrical signals that vary in amplitude or frequency Traditional telephone service uses analog technology
Adjective referring to the use of information in a continuous, rather than discrete (digital), form For example, an analog telephone transmits and receives voice as a continuous voltage wave form See Digital
Quantities or representations that are variable over a continuous range such as output of an amplitude-modulated, single-sideband transmitter The amplitude as such a signal fluctuates over a continuous range from zero to the maximum, or peak, output
{i} item which is analogous to another; organ that differs in structure from another but performs the same function (Biology); chemical compound that has a similar structure to another but differs in its composition (Chemistry)
Analog refers to electronic transmission accomplished by adding signals of varying frequency or amplitude to carrier waves of a given frequency of alternating electromagnetic current Broadcast and phone transmission have conventionally used analog technology A modem is used to convert analog to digital information to and from your computer
is a continuous signal that constantly varies In contrast, digital transmission has specific intervals or values that are used to transmit information Because analog signals vary gradually, digital is more reliable (See Digital data)
A method that uses variations in frequency to carry signals Analog means 'analagous' or 'copy of' Analog technology transmits voice signals in the form of electrical signals whose frequency and amplitude are proportional to the vibrations in the voice Traditional wireless telephones use analog technology
Electronic signals based on a variable (wave) that move up and down continuously and are found in products such as analog radios and clocks Analog products are not as common as digital because the mathematical description is more complex, as opposed to digital signals that consist of either ON or OFF
In telecommunications, analog refers to a transmission standard that uses variable frequencies and amplitudes of electrical impulses to emulate the audio wave form of sound
The simple way to transmit speech, which is translated into electronic signals of different frequency and/or amplitude The first networks for mobile phones, as well as broadcast transmissions, were analog Due to being longer established in some countries, analog networks may offer better coverage than digital networks, however analog phones are less secure and suffer more from interference where the signal is weak Analog systems include AMPS, NMT and ETACS 1G, AMPS, Digital, E-TACS, NMT, TACS
Is the traditional method of telecommunications A transmission method employing a continuous (rather than pulse or digital) electrical signal that varies in amplitude or frequency in response to changes in sound impressed on a transducer in the sending device
A way of sending data in which the signal is similar, or analogous, to the original signal Analog signals are continuos expressions of electricity, as opposed to digital signals in which there is an alternating absence and presence of signal
In sound system applications, an analog electrical signal represents the measured sound level in its exact continuous form Likewise, an analog device is an electronic device that processes analog signals in their continuous form
An analog voltage or signal refers to the continuous nature of valid voltage potentials in analog circuits An analogy of the difference between digital and analog signals is like the difference between real numbers and integers; real numbers are continuous from 0 0 to 1 0 like analog voltage potentials between 0 0 Volts and 1 0 Volts, but the only integers in this range are 0 and 1 like discrete digital voltage potentials between 0 0 Volts and 5 0 Volts; see "digital "
