Episode 11: Data Types — Analog, Digital, and Signal Characteristics


Listen Later

This episode explores the fundamental types of data transmission—analog and digital—and how they relate to signal behavior on modern networks. You'll learn the differences between continuous analog waveforms and discrete digital signals, including how they are interpreted by networking equipment. These distinctions are vital for understanding how data travels through copper, fiber, and wireless media.

We also cover key signal characteristics like amplitude, frequency, phase, and wavelength. These factors influence everything from bandwidth to error rates, especially in environments prone to interference. If you've ever wondered what determines the quality and clarity of network signals, this episode lays the groundwork with easy-to-understand explanations.
