Signal Encoding
Signal Encoding is the process of converting information into a specific format for efficient transmission or storage. This involves transforming data, such as text or audio, into a sequence of signals that can be easily sent over various communication channels, like telecommunications networks or digital media.
Different methods of signal encoding exist, including analog encoding and digital encoding. Analog encoding represents information through continuous signals, while digital encoding uses discrete values, often in binary form. Each method has its advantages and is chosen based on the requirements of the communication system and the type of data being transmitted.
