analogue
<electronics> (US: "analog") A description of a continuously variable signal or a circuit or device designed to handle such signals. The opposite is "discrete" or "digital".
Analogue circuits are much harder to design and analyse than digital ones because the designer must take into account effects such as the gain, linearity and power handling of components, the resistance, capacitance and inductance of PCB tracks, wires and connectors, interference between signals, power supply stability and more. A digital circuit design, especially for high switching speeds, must also take these factors into account if it is to work reliably, but they are usually less critical because most digital components will function correctly within a range of parameters whereas such variations will corrupt the outputs of an analogue circuit.

Analogue
a method of representing data using continuously varying electrical voltages. Analog video whether transmitted over cables, read from videotapes or broadcast, is subject to degradation due to noise, distortion and other electronic phenomena.

Analog (Analogue)
A continuous signal that requires time to make a transition from one level to another. Standard audio and video signals are analog. Both can be digitized. The video in the laserdisc format is analog composite. The audio can be present in both analog and digital forms. Both the audio and video on DVD has been recorded on the disc in the digital domain. The alternate, British spelling of the word analogue is often used in the audio world.

Analogue
(n.)
That which is analogous to, or corresponds with, some other thing.
(n.)
An organ which is equivalent in its functions to a different organ in another species or group, or even in the same group; as, the gill of a fish is the analogue of a lung in a quadruped, although the two are not of like structural relations.
(n.)
A word in one language corresponding with one in another; an analogous term; as, the Latin "pater" is the analogue of the English "father."
(n.)
A species or genus in one country closely related to a species of the same genus, or a genus of the same group, in another: such species are often called representative species, and such genera, representative genera.
(n.)
A species in one genus or group having its characters parallel, one by one, with those of another group.

Analog Science Fiction and Fact
Analog Science Fiction and Fact is the longest-running science fiction magazine of all time. Initially published in 1930 in the United States as Astounding Stories, it is considered one of the seminal science-fiction magazines. Originally a pulp magazine, by the late 1930s it had become the leader in its field. It has undergone several name changes, most importantly in 1938 to Astounding Science-Fiction, and then in 1960 to Analog Science Fact & Fiction. Its current logo was adopted in November of 1992 and uses Fiction and Fact instead of Fact & Fiction. Although it is still the leader in the field, its circulation, like that of all other science-fiction and fantasy magazines, has fallen precipitously over the last two decades. From a high of about 115,000 monthly sales in 1983, its total circulation in 2006 was only 28,319.
