A digital signal is a type of signal that represents information using discrete values or symbols, typically in the form of binary digits (bits). Unlike analog signals, which vary continuously, digital signals have distinct levels or states, often represented by 0s and 1s. Digital signals are commonly used in digital communication, electronics, computing, and various… Read More
