Analog modems use the telephone cable to send audio signals, which represent 1's and 0's over a connected phone line, using phone voltages.

Digital modems use a high frequency signal with the data superimposed on it. They can use the copper phone wires like an antenna. In this way there does not have to be phone connection in use. The phone can be used as well as the signal, if a filter is used to stop interference.

Digital modems can also use fibre optic or coaxial cables.

What are the advantages of digital data compared to analog data?

Digital data requires less bandwidth than analog data (e.g. new digital television broadcast compared to old analog broadcast), so more data can fit in the same frequency (e.g. DSL compared to analog modems). This is the primary advantage, although it is also generally stated that data is easier to recover and more tolerant towards interference.


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.


Which device are used to establish the communication link between the customer equipment and the local loop for digital lines?

To establish the communication link between customer equipment and the local loop for digital lines, a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is commonly used. This device aggregates multiple digital subscriber lines from individual customers and connects them to a high-capacity backbone network. Additionally, routers and modems may be used at the customer premises to facilitate communication and manage data traffic.


Why phase modulation is used?

Actually phase modulation was used for the color signal in all analog TV systems.Phase modulation, with some signal preprocessing, was used to indirectly get frequency modulation in many FM transmitters.Certain modems use phase amplitude modulation.etc.


Why is frequency shift keying not suitable for high speed modems?

A conventional voice radio cannot transnit data directly. Data digital voltage levels must be converted to audio using a device called a modulator, whichapplies the audio to the transmitter. conversely,at the receiver,a demodulator converts audio back to digital voltage levels. RF-5000 radios=>(build in)Highspeed modems,,,,,, which have Modfulator and demodullator(which permit the radios to operate with either voice or data inputs) on the other side FSK(Frequency shift keying) only encoded binary data(0s and 1s)..... This case, Fsk is not suitable for high speed modems.............. Sandip Layek.

What is an analog modem?

A analog modem is a typical modem found in personal computers. A digital modem is similar to a DSL type modem. Most computers do not have digital modems.


How could a digital signal from outer space be picked-up?

Radio "signals" are always analog, not digital. To send a digital signal, it must be converted to analog format, and then the received signal has to be re-converted to digital. So the Voyager and Viking space probes, for example, include a digital-to-analog converter attached to the radio transmitter, and the radio receivers here on Earth are routed through an analog-to-digital converter to make sense of them. You yourself may have such an "analog-to-digital" converter; they are called "modems", or "modulator/demodulator".

Is a modern an output device?

A "modem" is considered a transceiver. It receives data, and sends data. But it also converts signals in the sense that it can be seen as a DAC (digital to analog converter) and a ADC (analog to digital converter). Most dialup, DSL, and cable modems are examples of that - they plug into your computer and converts from-and-to your ISP the data you're receiving and sending. The signals you send from your computer are typically digital and the modem converts them into analog ones.

What does digital data mean?

A digital signal is a physical signal that is a representation of a sequence of discrete values (a quantified discrete-time signal), for example of an arbitrary bit stream, or of a digitized (sampled and analog-to-digital converted) analog signal. The term digital signal can refer to either of the following:any continuous-time waveform signal used in digital communication, representing a bit stream or other sequence of discrete valuesa pulse train signal that switches between a discrete number of voltage levels or levels of light intensity, also known as a line coded signal or baseband transmission, for example a signal found in digital electronics or in serial communications, or a pulse code modulation (PCM) representation of a digitized analog signal.A signal that is generated by means of a digital modulation method (digital passband transmission), to be transferred between modems, is in the first case considered as a digital signal, and in the second case as converted to an analog signal.


What does modem stand for anyway (search the webopedia site)?

The term "modem" stands for "modulator-demodulator." It refers to a device that converts digital signals from a computer into analog signals suitable for transmission over telephone lines and vice versa. This process allows for data communication between digital devices and analog communication systems. Modems are essential for internet connectivity, enabling the transfer of information over various types of networks.


What is the price of Qwest Modem?
