Analog
Something is Analog if its changes are represented by something else changing eg. The higher the mercury rises in a thermometer the warmer it is. Analog systems in PC terminology refer to the use of variable voltage in electrical signals to represent any kind of data.

Analog
Almost everything in the world can be described or represented in one of two forms: analog or digital. The principal feature of analog representations is that they are continuous. In contrast, digital representations consist of values measured at discrete intervals.
Digital watches are called digital because they go from one value to the next without displaying all intermediate values. Consequently, they can display only a finite number of times of the day. In contrast, watches with hands are analog, because the hands move continuously around the clock face. As the minute hand goes around, it not only touches the numbers 1 through 12, but also the infinite number of points in between.
Early attempts at building computers used analog techniques, but accuracy and reliability were not good enough. Today, almost all computers are digital.

Analog
Refers to systems that represent or encode or transmit information in a manner that is continuously variable, specifically not having to be rounded up or down to certain numeric values or being restricted to discrete pixel positions on a line. An analog picture reproducing system for example might reproduce any shade of red from a dark brown to a light pink while a non-analog system might only have twenty specific shades of browns, reds, and pinks to choose from. NTSC video is analog in the horizontal direction; details can occur anywhere along a scan line. It is not analog in the vertical direction; details that "fall between" two scan lines are lost or show up shifted slightly to fit on one of the scan lines.

analog
Capable of exhibiting continuous fluctuations. In an analog audio system, fluctuations in voltage correspond in a one-to-one fashion with (that is, are analogous to) the fluctuations in air pressure at the audio input or output. In an analog synthesizer, such parameters as oscillator pitch and LFO speed are typically controlled by analog control voltages rather than by digital data, and the audio signal is also an analog voltage. Compare with digital.

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.

Analog
An audio signal is an electrical representation of, i.e., is analogous to, a sound waveform. The signal's voltage fluctuates in the same pattern as the speaker cone that reproduces it. Analog synths use oscillators, filters, amplifiers and other electrical components to create electrical signals analogous to the audio wave forms they are trying to represent.

Analog
A form of information which is represented by a continuous electromagnetic wave encoded so that its power varies continuously with the power of a signal received from a source (e.g., a source of sound or light). Contrast to digital. A signal in which the characteristic quantity representing information may at any instant assume any value within a given range. Transmission employing variable and continuous waveforms to represent information values.

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.
