what is the difference between analog and digital
communications? which is the efficient communication??

Answer Posted / muhammad awais

Analog
Analog systems are less tolerant to noise, make good use of bandwidth, and are easy to manipulate mathematically. However, analog signals require hardware receivers and transmitters that are designed to perfectly fit the particular transmission. If you are working on a new system, and you decide to change your analog signal, you need to completely change your transmitters and receivers.
Digital
Digital signals are more tolerant to noise, but digital signals can be completely corrupted in the presence of excess noise. In digital signals, noise could cause a 1 to be interpreted as a 0 and vice versa, which makes the received data different than the original data. Imagine if the army transmitted a position coordinate to a missile digitally, and a single bit was received in error? This single bit error could cause a missile to miss its target by miles. Luckily, there are systems in place to prevent this sort of scenario, such as checksums and CRCs, which tell the receiver when a bit has been corrupted and ask the transmitter to resend the data. The primary benefit of digital signals is that they can be handled by simple, standardized receivers and transmitters, and the signal can be then dealt with in software (which is comparatively cheap to change).

interface an 8-pin switch with 8085 microprocessor located at 0AAH and LEDs at port 55H, draw the circuit diagram. Write down a program to read the switches and do the following: > if the parity of the switch is odd, start counting upward until it reaches 0FFH. > if the parity of the switch is even, start counting downwards until it reaches 00H.
