This document discusses analog and digital signals. It describes the parameters that define simple periodic analog signals like sine waves. It also discusses composite signals, which are made up of multiple sine waves, and how they appear in the time and frequency domains. The document provides examples of calculating the bandwidth of periodic and non-periodic composite signals. It concludes with discussing transmission modes for communicating signals, including parallel, serial, asynchronous and synchronous transmission. It also covers types of communication systems and transmission impairments.
