Why Digital ?
In a group of 2 or 3, think about why people use Digital Communication Systems. Write down at least two reasons to use digital systems and at least two reasons not to use digital systems. Write down the names of the group members and hand it over to lecturer.

Digital Communication System

Important features of a DCS:
Transmitter sends a waveform from a finite set of possible waveforms during a limited time Channel distorts, attenuates the transmitted signal and adds noise to it. Receiver decides which waveform was transmitted from the noisy received signal Probability of erroneous decision is an important measure for the system performance
