While digital data is commonly thought to only be transmitted digitally, analog transmission is still used to transmit data through electricity, light, and radio waves. Transmissions through air occur through radio, microwave, and satellite signals, which all operate at the physical layer of the OSI model to convert data into waveforms or light pulses for transmission.

1. There is a common misconception that analog technology is no
longer used in the transmission of digital data. However analog
transmission of data is transmitted using electricity, light, and
radio. Transmissions in the air use radio, microwave, and
satellite media. These transmissions take place in a specific OSI
layer.
Create
a detailed diagram or set of diagrams to show how the letter
A
is transmitted in an electrical, light, and radio wave. Show the
similarities and differences between how data is transmitted in
these three processes. Show the layers of the OSI model that are
involved with translating the
A
to wave form or light pulses to include coding. Annotate the
diagram(s) or add written information to the diagram(s) to
explain the processes to a person that is not familiar with the
technology.
