Spændingssignal

Spændingssignal, often translated as voltage signal, is an electrical signal where the information is encoded in the magnitude of the voltage. This is a fundamental concept in electronics and electrical engineering.

A voltage signal represents a varying potential difference between two points. This variation can be continuous, as in an analog signal, or discrete, as in a digital signal. In analog systems, the amplitude of the voltage directly corresponds to the physical quantity being measured or transmitted, such as sound pressure, temperature, or light intensity. For example, a microphone converts sound waves into a continuously varying voltage signal.

In digital systems, voltage levels are used to represent discrete states, typically binary values of 0 and 1. Specific voltage ranges are defined for each state, making them less susceptible to noise than analog signals. This is crucial for reliable data transmission and processing in computers and other digital devices.

The characteristics of a spændingssignal, such as its amplitude, frequency, and waveform, convey different types of information. Understanding and manipulating these signals are essential for the design, operation, and troubleshooting of a wide range of electronic circuits and systems, from simple sensors to complex communication networks.
