  • Is fiber optic communication based on analog signals

    Is fiber optic communication based on analog signals

    Since fiber optic data transmissions in networking use square waves, it is a digital signal. However, you can also transmit a analog signal over fiber optic, such as a video. It is not the medium that determines the type of signal, but the devices on each end. Fiber is preferred. Analog signals are continuously variable signals where the information in the signal is contained in the amplitude of the signal over time. Although the number of appli-cations for digital networks and telecommunications sys-tems is skyrocketing, analog transmission is still vital to. Consider a simple analog signal—a sine wave. Think of a perfect musical note and how it sounds. Analog signal (sine wave) with noise The problem with analog signals is noise, which you can hear with AM radio, for example.
