Digital communications: Transmitted signals belong to a
nite set of waveforms The distorted signal can be
recovered to its ideal shape, hence removing all the noise.
Analog communications: Transmitted signals are analog
waveforms, which can take innite variety of shapes Once
the analog signal is distorted, the distortion cannot be
removed.

Digital vs. Analog
Advantages:
Digital signals are much easier to be regenerated.
Digital circuits are less subject to distortion and interference.
Digital circuits are more reliable and can be produced at a
lower cost than analog circuits.
It is more exible to implement digital hardware than analog
hardware.
Digital signals are benecial from digital signal processing
(DSP) techniques.
Disadvantages:
Heavy signal processing.
Synchronization is crucial.
Larger transmission bandwidth.
Non-graceful degradation.
