analog facsimile equipment

Facsimile equipment in which (a) analog techniques are used to encode the image detected by the scanner and (b) the output is an analog signal.
Note: Examples of analog facsimile equipment are CCITT Group 1 and CCITT Group 2 facsimile equipment.

analog signal

1. A signal that has a continuous nature rather than a pulsed or discrete nature.
Note: Electrical or physical analogies, such as continuously varying voltages, frequencies, or phases, may be used as analog signals.
2. A nominally continuous electrical signal that varies in some direct correlation with another signal impressed on a transducer.
Note: For example, an analog signal may… (Read More →)

analog signaling data link

The data link that provides an interface to signaling terminals and is made up of voice-frequency analog transmission channels and modems. [T1.11

analog switch

Switching equipment designed, designated, or used to connect circuits between users for real-time transmission of analog signals.

analog transmission

Transmission of a continuously varying signal as opposed to transmission of a discretely varying signal.

analytical attack

An attempt to break a code or to find a key using analytical methods.
Note: Examples of an analytical attack are: a statistical analysis of patterns; a search for flaws in an encryption algorithm. [2382-pt.8] Synonym cryptanalytical attack.
