The -dem part does. The mo- part goes the other way. "Modem" is an abbreviation for "modulator-demodulator".

What is analog signal and digital signal?

"Analog" means something that essentially resembles something else; an analog signal has the same smoothly varying structure as a real-world signal such as a sound, for example. "Digital" means composed of digits, in other words, of numbers. The real world is not composed of numbers (although if you examine it on a sufficiently small scale, it turns out to be quantized, which means that in a sense, the real world is digital after all) but you can approximate the real world if you use enough numbers to do so. The simplest example of this (in case my explanation is not already clear) is in sound recording technology. The old-fashioned vinyl record album contains a groove in which the shape of the vinyl reflects the pattern of a sound wave. No numbers are involved. A needle riding in that groove will physically move the way a sound wave moves. Then you have a digital medium such as a compact disc. It records a series of numbers which can be translated by a computer into a sound.


What does Modem mean in computer terms?

Modem is a contraction of MOdulator DEModulator. It changes the digital 1s and 0's that a computer uses and turns them into a signal that can be sent down a telephone line. The modem at the other end puts the signal back back into 1s and 0s and passes the information to the computer.

The television has only an aerial connection can you still get freeview?

Freeview is the digital terrestrial television service for the UK. It is replacing analog services which will be switched off by 2012. To receive Freeview, either a television with a digital receiver is needed (most telvisions sold from 2008 have a digital tuner) or a separate Freeview receiver is needed. Most Freeview receivers have video and audio outputs which connect to AV inputs on the television. If a television has no AV inputs at all, then a Freeview receiver that outputs the decoded signal on the RF connector will be needed. Not all digital receivers have this function so it is important to check before buying. Before buying, ask the question "Does this receiver output its decoded signal as an analog RF signal?" It is not unknown for a salesman to say yes even if they don't know the answer. Remember that if you have asked the question and explained that it is vital to have the facility, you are entitled to a full refund if it turns out not to be the case. Better still, ask to study the manual before parting with cash.


What is a computer modum?

A modem is a Modulator Demodulator. It turns computer code into an audio signal, that can be sent over telephone wires and convert signals coming in, back to code again.A computer modem is a chip on a computer to which you can connect a phone line. Modems can be used to access dial up internet. Modems can also be used to allow you to use your computer's microphone and speakers as a telephone. Modems are rarely used today, as faster forms of digital communication exist.


How do recording devises work in means of recording sound in general?

Well, if we are talking about today's modern recording devices, it works with AD/DA converters. That is Analog to Digital on the way in and Digital to analog on the way out for listening. So, The converters take an analog signal and convert it to digital which turns into into 1's and 0's and stores it on a hard drive as 1's and 0's. It is actually an amazing process. I guess binary can sound incredibly beautiful at times! Anyway, when we talk about 16bit or 24bit music, it just gives us 8 more bits to store all of our extra bytes and the more we have, the better the resolution and sound quality. The Frequency response, such as 44.1KHz or 48KHz also widens the spectrum of frequencies that we record with and the higher the number, the more resolution we have in terms of frequency response. I hope this helps!
