analogis

Analogis is a term used to describe something that is not digital. In electronics, analog signals are continuous waveforms that vary in amplitude or frequency, representing information like sound or temperature. Unlike digital signals, which are discrete and quantized into binary values, analog signals can theoretically represent an infinite range of values. This continuous nature allows analog systems to capture subtle nuances that might be lost in digital conversion. Examples of analog devices include traditional vinyl record players, mercury thermometers, and older cathode ray tube televisions. The fidelity of analog reproduction can be very high, but analog signals are also more susceptible to noise and degradation over time or through transmission. Signal processing in analog systems involves physical components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Despite the rise of digital technology, analog principles remain fundamental to many areas of science and engineering, and analog components are still crucial in interfacing with the physical world and in specific applications where their unique characteristics are advantageous.
