Question

Difference between discrete and continuous channel in data communication

Answer 1

1.) Discrete data is countable while continuous data is measurable.
2.) Discrete data contains distinct or separate values.

Answer 2

Difference between discrete and continuous channel in data communication:

Discrete communication channels:

• A discrete channel has discrete input and output.  

• It has a channel transition probability matrix.

Continuous communication channels:  

• A continuous channel can be converted into a discrete channel, when the digital modulator is used for feeding the channel and a digital demodulator give the channel output.  

• A continuous channel has an input and output ensemble, the channel noise and bandwidth.
