digits 1-9 and place value based on powers of

Binary Numbers
In the binary system, each place value is
called a bit
10101 has five digits so it is a 5-bit word
The number of values is limited by the
number of bits
5-bit numbers have 25 values = 32 values
A 16-bit word has 65,536 possible values
A 32-bit word has 4,294,967,296 possible values
Newer systems are 64-bit which has a whole
bunch of values
Binary Numbers
In a binary number, the first non-zero digit
(left side) is the most significant bit (MSB)
The last digit is the least significant bit (LSB)
In the binary number 011101,
The first 1 (24) is the most significant bit and
The last 0 (20) is the least significant bit
Analogue Signal
Analogue signals are
continuous signals,
varying between two
Extreme values in a way that is proportional to
the physical mechanism that created the signal.
A mercury thermometer gives a continuous
measurement of temperature
A microphone produces a continuous voltage
signal based on the vibrations of a diaphragm
Digital Signal
Digital signals are coded
forms of a signal that takes
discrete values of 0 or 1 only.
The LabQuest with a temperature probe is
programmed to take x number of samples per
second and is idle between measurements
Converting an Analogue Signal
to Digital Signal
Consider an analog
signal that increases at
a constant rate (linear
relationship)
Converting an Analogue Signal
to Digital Signal
If we then sample it at
consistent intervals we
obtain
Converting an Analogue Signal
to Digital Signal
We take a reading at
certain intervals and
don’t ‘know’ what
happens in between
The number of
samples per second is
the sampling rate or
sampling frequency
Converting an Analogue Signal
to Digital Signal
A typical sampling rate
for audio signals is
8000 times per second
or once every 125 μs
This graph is called a
pulse amplitude
modulated signal
The time to take a
sample is very short
compared to interval
Converting an Analogue Signal
to Digital Signal
We now convert the
signal sampling into a
binary code using 2-bit
words
22 means we can have
4 distinct values
In a sense, this is like
rounding the signal to
significant parts
Converting an Analogue Signal
to Digital Signal
We can decrease the
amount of ‘lost’
information by using
3-bit words
23 means we can have
8 distinct values
Increased intervals /
values means
increased fidelity
Converting an Analogue Signal
to Digital Signal
Division of values into
specific ranges is
called quantization
and the levels are
quantization levels
Converting an Analogue Signal
to Digital Signal
This gives rise to
quantization error

n
For the 2-bit data the
error is 2V
For the 3-bit data the
error is 1V
Compact Disks
Compact Disks Are The Pits
Analogue data is
converted to
digital if required
Digital data is then
imprinted on the
CD by a series of
marks called pits
The edge of a pit
corresponds to a
binary ‘1’
Compact Disks Are The Pits
The ‘unpitted’ part
is called a land.
A series of pits are
made along a path
that spirals from
the center outward
Compact Disks Are The Pits
Distance between
paths = 1600 nm
Width of a pit = 500
nm
(comparable to the
λ of green light)
Pit length = 830 nm
to 3560 nm
Pit depth = 125 nm
Compact Disks Are The Pits
Compact Disks Are The Pits
Bottom of the disk is coated with transparent
material
CD’s are read by a laser from the bottom
Compact Disks Are The Pits
Compact
Disks Are
The Pits
Because the laser beam can’t have zero width, as
the beam approaches a pit, some of the beam will
be reflected off the land, some off the pit
Compact
Disks Are
The Pits
This produces interference
The light reflected off a land travels 2d more than
light reflected off a pit

The light reflected off a land travels 2d more than

the interference between the two
reflections will be destructive and the
