Analog signals, such as sound or light, are converted into digital form through a process called analog-to-digital conversion. This process involves quantizing the continuous analog signal into discrete, digital values represented by binary numbers. Once in digital form, the signal can be processed, stored, and transmitted more efficiently and accurately.
Transverse waves exist in both digital and analog forms. The nature of the wave itself (transverse) is independent of whether the signal it carries is digital or analog. The modulation or encoding of the wave determines whether it is digital or analog.
Error resulting from trying to represent a continuous analog signal with discrete, stepped digital data. The problem arises when the analog value being sampled falls between two digital "steps." When this happens, the analog value must be represented by the nearest digital value, resulting in a very slight error. In other words, the difference between the continuous analog waveform, and the stair-stepped digital representation is quantization error.
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.
Analog signals require higher fidelity than digital signals because digital are either on or off while analog are continuous. A small difference in an analog signal is not detectable while it requires a large difference to turn on into off (digital signal). Error correction is easier with digital signals.
A microphone converts voice sound waves into electrical signals, which are then digitized by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to produce digital signals. These digital signals can then be processed and transmitted digitally.
An DAC convert digital signal to analog signal i.e Digital to Analog Converter. An ADC convert analog signal to digital signal i.e Analog to Digital Converter.

When you convert digital signal to analog, it is called as an analog signal. The device used is called digital to analog converter.

After Feb 17, 2009, all analog television broadcasting will be discontinued and will become digital.
There are four possible combinations of encoding techniques -Digital data, digital signal -Digital data, analog signal -Analog data, digital signal -Analog data, analog signal
Analog gauges do not use digital numbers or digital displays. Analog gauges use dials or a pointer. Think hands moving around a dial as in an analog speedometer. If it has digital numbers then it is not an analog gauge it is a digital gauge.
An analog-to-digital converter is a device which converts an infinite resolution analog signal to a finite resolution digital signal.
