A signal is described as continuous but is mistakenly treated as digital. What error might occur?
A signal is described as continuous but is mistakenly treated as digital. What error might occur?
medium📝 Analysis Q6 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand signal types
Continuous signals have smooth variations; treating them as digital means sampling discrete points.Step 2: Identify consequence of wrong treatment
This causes loss of detail and distortion because the smooth signal is approximated by steps.Final Answer:
Loss of signal detail and distortion -> Option CQuick Check:
Wrong signal type handling = distortion [OK]
Quick Trick: Treating analog as digital causes distortion [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming signal gets louder
- Thinking speed changes
- Believing no error occurs
