Analog Signal and data

Analog data

Analog data is refers to information that is continuous, example like the analog clock that has hour,minute and seconds hands that provide information in continuous form.

Analog data like the sounds made by human voice, take on continuous values. when someone speaks, an analog wave is created in the air. This can be captured by a microphone and converted to an analog signal or sampled and converted to a digital signal.

Analog Signals

Analog signal is similar as data, an analog signal has infinitely many levels of intensity over a period of time, As the wave moves from value A to value B, it passes through and includes an infinite number of values along its path.

Periodic & non-periodic analog signals
There are two type of analog signal which are periodic analog signal and non-periodic signals. The graph above you may think that is a non-periodic analog signal but it was a periodic analog signal because it repeats pattern over subsequent identical periods. Periodic analog signals can be simple or composite.

Simple signal
Simple periodic analog signal can be illustrated using a sine wave or cos wave. It was the simplest form of analog signal. While composite periodic analog signal is composed of multiple sine waves.Sine wave is basic from of a periodic analog signal.
(I assume that you all know about the mathematical approach to sine waves.)

Since wave have many application in daily life, one of the example is transfer/carry electric energy from one place to another.It was use by power company send a single sine wave with frequency of60Hz to distribute electric energy to user.


Sine wave





Composite signal

Another type of periodic analog signals is composite signal. We can't use a single sine wave to convey conversation over the phone, because it would make no sense and carry no information. There are a french mathematician Jean-Baptiste Fourier showed that any composite signal is actually combination of simple sine waves with different frequencies,amplitudes, and phases.

Reading and Writing Operation of SRAM

Image
The diagram below is illustrate Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)Cell for the explanation. SRAM cell is make up of 2 inverters are cross-connected to form a latch .The latch is connected to 2 bit line by transistor T1 and T2 . T1 and T2 can switch opened or closed under control of word line.When word line is ground level, the transistors are turned off and the latch retrains its state. During the Read Operation ,Word line is activated to close switches T1 and T2 . If the cell is in state 1; the signal on b line is high and the signal on b’ line is low.The opposite is true if the cell is in state 0.Thus, b and b’ are always complements of each other’s. The sense /write circuit at the end of the two bit line monitors their state and sets the corresponding output accordingly. While in Write Operation ,the Sense/Write circuit drives bit lines b and b’, instead of sensing their state.It places the appropriate value on bit line b and its complement on b’ and activate the word

Reading & Writing Operation of DRAM

Image
In Dynamic Random Access Memory CELL , transistor acts as a switch to Close (allowing current to flow) when voltage applied in address line or Open (no current flow) when no voltage applied in address line.Address Line also known as word line .Which use to signal the transistor to close or open. During the Write operation ,a voltage is applied on the bit line and a signal applied to the address line to close the transistor.Then the voltage applied on the bit line will transfer to capacitor and store in the capacitor However the capacitor has tendency to discharge and has to refresh to maintain the bit. While in Reading Operation ,the instruction find the bit store using the address line to read the data or bit. When the address line is selected ,the transistor turns on and the charge stored on the capacitor is fled out onto a bit line and to sense amplifier. Sense amplifiers compare the capacitor voltage to reference value to determine the logic 1 or logic 0.The read out from

Method to Convert from Stream to Json C#

Recently I was using the C# HttpClient to make REST request but I found that is was quite troublesome so I have changed to using HttpWebRequest instead. So want the HttpWebRequest result is return it was in Stream form. I not able to convert it into Json. this is the method i convert the stream to JSON. HttpWebResponse response = ( HttpWebResponse ) requirejs . GetResponse (); Stream stream = response . GetResponseStream (); StreamReader sr = new StreamReader ( stream ); var serializer = new System . Web . Script . Serialization . JavaScriptSerializer (); var jsonObject = serializer . DeserializeObject ( sr . ReadToEnd ()); As you can see that jsonObject is an object. Now you can parse it into the Json(JsonObject); If you have any question can leave a comment below.
