Mixed signals occur when someone's words and actions convey contradictory messages, creating confusion. For example, a person might frequently text or call someone they claim to be uninterested in, indicating affection while verbally denying any romantic feelings. Another instance is a friend who invites you to social events but often cancels at the last minute, suggesting they want to spend time together but not following through. These behaviors can lead to uncertainty about the individual's true intentions.
Mixed signal systems refer to electronic systems that process both analog and digital signals. These systems integrate components that handle continuous signals (analog) with those that operate on discrete signals (digital), enabling them to perform complex functions like data conversion and signal processing. Applications include audio processing, telecommunications, and sensor interfacing, where both types of signals coexist and need to be managed effectively. This integration is crucial for enhancing performance and efficiency in modern electronic devices.
Two examples of carrier signals are amplitude modulation (AM) radio waves and frequency modulation (FM) radio waves. In AM, the amplitude of the carrier wave is varied in accordance with the audio signal, while in FM, it is the frequency of the carrier wave that is varied. Both methods are used to transmit audio signals over radio frequencies, enabling communication over long distances.
Ambivalent signals are mixed or contradictory messages that can create confusion or uncertainty in communication. They often arise when verbal and non-verbal cues do not align, leading to ambiguity about a person's true feelings or intentions. For example, someone might say they are happy while displaying body language that suggests discomfort. Understanding ambivalent signals requires careful interpretation of context and the relationship dynamics involved.
An analog signal is a continuous signal that represents physical measurements through varying voltage, current, or frequency. Unlike digital signals, which use discrete values to represent data, analog signals can take on an infinite number of values within a given range. This allows them to closely mimic real-world phenomena, such as sound waves or temperature changes. Common examples include audio signals, radio waves, and other forms of waveforms.
FDM stnds for frequency division multiplexing and it is used only in case of analog signals because analog signals are continuous in nature and the signal have frequency. TDM-stands for time division multiplexing and it is used only in case of digital signals because digital signals are discrete in nature and are in the form of 0 and 1s. and are time dependent.
this is a silly question. Mixed signals are a two-way street, I would just as quickly ask you; Why do women send mixed signals to men?

She is sending this mixed signals because she does not know yet if she is ready for a relationship with you. Maybe she is because you are the one sending mixed signals and she is because she does not know if you like her.

Wait, if she/he still give mixed signals, then you can tell him your true feelings.

if you are getting signals from someone and you're not sure what they mean by those signals I wouldn't say that's mixed signals I'd just say they were confusing signals. however if you get a clear signal from someone and then another clear signal/reaction that contradicts it, then you would have received mixed signals.

One way to figure out someone's mixed signals is to simply ask them. Many people don't realize they're giving off any signals at all and would much rather be approached directly.
Boys give mixed signals when they are unsure of what they should do or if they are not completely interested. Boys are usually learning to better understand girls before they mature.
