THE CONCEPTS OF ANALOG AND DIGITAL CODING IN TERMS OF MEASUREMENT THEORY

Luca Mari

Abstract

The concepts of analog and digital coding are usually employed with a vague, even if not wrong, meaning, according to the more or less explicit assumption that they are synonymous of continuous and discrete coding respectively. This work is aimed at showing how such concepts can be instead properly defined in terms of Measurement Theory, in the context of the fundamental duality between coding and sensing.
