Information is captured in an electric signal through variations in voltage or current that correspond to specific data. These variations can represent binary values (0s and 1s) in digital systems or varying amplitudes and frequencies in analog systems. For instance, in digital communication, a high voltage might represent a '1' and a low voltage a '0'. This encoding allows the transmission and processing of complex information over electrical circuits.

Are the grooves on a record are examples of information stored as a digital signal?

They are a method of storing information, but as there is no computer or digitizing element involved, it is not exactly a digital signal. It is an analog signal.


What happen to the amplitude modulated signal signal if no modulation signal applied?

If no modulation signal is applied to an amplitude modulated (AM) signal, the output will effectively be a constant carrier wave at the carrier frequency. This means that the amplitude of the signal will remain constant, without any variation or modulation corresponding to an information signal. As a result, the AM signal will not convey any information and will simply be a pure tone at the carrier frequency.


What is a device that converts information into a signal?

Transducer


What is bandwidth required for AM signal?

With full double sideband AM the bandwidth of the modulated signal is twice that of the baseband information signal. With suppressed carrier single sideband AM the bandwidth of the modulated signal is identical to that of the baseband information signal. With vestigial sideband AM the bandwidth of the modulated signal is somewhere between the above two cases, depending on how much of the vestigial sideband is included.


Is current is a signal?

Yes, current can be considered a signal in certain contexts, particularly in electronics and telecommunications. It refers to the flow of electric charge, which can carry information through modulation techniques such as amplitude modulation (AM) or frequency modulation (FM). In these cases, variations in current can represent data, enabling communication and control in various systems.
