It quantizes it into discrete points represented by zeros and ones (digital information). The number of samples must be at least two times the highest frequency component of the analog wave. The number of bits in each sample determines how close the digital information is to the actual value of the analog signal.

Differentiae analog communication system with digital communication system?

digital coommunication is a mode of communication where the information is encoded digitally as discrete signals & electronically transferred to the recipients. analog communication format is that in which information is transmitted by modulating continuous signal, such as sound wave.

Is sine wave used in analog or digital?

No and yes. Digital signals are usually square or pulse waves. By Fourier analysis, however, every periodic wave, even a square wave, is the summation of some series (often infinite) of sine waves.

Does analog signals suffer from attenuation more than digital signals?

With an analog signal, it shrinks with distance. So its gets harder to tell when it is "there". A digital signal shrinks with distance. So as long as it is detectable, it is "there". So as a wave gets attenuated and then not by, say, variations in weather, to respond to an analog signal gets more difficult. With a digital wave, if you can find it -- it's there.
