  2. Analog transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_transmission

    Analog transmission is a transmission method of conveying information using a continuous signal which varies in amplitude, phase, or some other property in proportion to that information. It could be the transfer of an analog signal, using an analog modulation method such as frequency modulation (FM) or amplitude modulation (AM), or no ...

  3. Photoelectric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoelectric_sensor

    A photoelectric sensor is a device used to determine the distance, absence, or presence of an object by using a light transmitter, often infrared, and a photoelectric receiver. They are largely used in industrial manufacturing. There are three different useful types: opposed (through-beam), retro-reflective, and proximity-sensing (diffused).

  4. Analog computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer

    Analog computing devices are fast; digital computing devices are more versatile and accurate. The idea behind an analog-digital hybrid is to combine the two processes for the best efficiency. An example of such hybrid elementary device is the hybrid multiplier, where one input is an analog signal, the other input is a digital signal and the ...

  5. Analog signal processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_signal_processing

    Analog signal processing is a type of signal processing conducted on continuous analog signals by some analog means (as opposed to the discrete digital signal processing where the signal processing is carried out by a digital process). "Analog" indicates something that is mathematically represented as a set of continuous values.

  6. Analog device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_device

    An analog synthesizer is a synthesizer that uses analog circuits and analog computer techniques to generate sound electronically. The analog television encodes television and transports the picture and sound information as an analog signal, that is, by varying the amplitude and/or frequencies of the broadcast signal. All systems preceding ...

  7. Spectrum analyzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_analyzer

    A spectrum analyzer is also used to determine, by direct observation, the bandwidth of a digital or analog signal. A spectrum analyzer interface is a device that connects to a wireless receiver or a personal computer to allow visual detection and analysis of electromagnetic signals over a defined band of frequencies.

  8. Analogue electronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analogue_electronics

    Analogue electronics (American English: analog electronics) are electronic systems with a continuously variable signal, in contrast to digital electronics where signals usually take only two levels. The term analogue describes the proportional relationship between a signal and a voltage or current that represents the signal.

  9. Rangefinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangefinder

    A long-range laser rangefinder is capable of measuring distance up to 20 km; mounted on a tripod with an angular mount. The resulting system also provides azimuth and elevation measurements. A laser rangefinder, also known as a laser telemeter, is a rangefinder that uses a laser beam to determine the distance to an object.
