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

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

Image
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) also known as Transport Protocol. TCP is one of the two original components of the suite, complementing the Internet Protocol (IP), and therefore the entire suite is commonly referred to as TCP/IP.Transmission Control Protocol is built on top of IP. Protocol mean the rules in order two devices or more to communicate with each others.In others meaning, Devices with TCP can only communicate with devices equip with TCP. For example like human communication in same using English as Global language then TCP is similar with english! Function of Transmission Contol Protocol: It will assume that IP might lose some data ,so it will keep a copy of data and send data to receiver until get an acknowledgement from the receiver. If the data sent is unresposive for too long , the TCP will send it again. The responsibility of the transport layer is to present a reliable end to-end pipe to the application.The data either arrives in the proper order or the

File transfer from android to linux

Android File transfer basically got two method or format which are Media device (MTP) and also for camera (PTP). However , the MTP is only suitable for windows or Mac computer, it was not compatible with the Linux. The PTP only allow you to transfer photos only but not others files. However you can let your ubuntu to support mtp by using the "mtpfs" or "jmtpfs". Below I will show step by step how to configure the MTP service in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. First of all you need to install the mtp tools in linux, you can install by using the commands below. Open the terminal and type in the following 2 line. (ps:without the quote, and it may required you to key in your password) "sudo apt-get install libmtp-common mtp-tools libmtp-dev lilbmtp-runtime libmtp9" "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" 2nd Step you have to edit the fuse.conf file. Fuse provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own file system implementation. =| You
