Direct signals are macro indicator signals of what is directly being measured. For example‚ the consumer price index for urban consumers tells us what is happening to the general price level of consumer goods in US urban locations. Another example of a direct signal would be the unemployment rate since it measures the percent of labor force that is unemployed. Indirect signals come from watching the movement of causally related indicators‚ and drawing conclusions about one from the movement of the

Signal Theory Introduction- In this report I will be writing about Signal Theory and all of its aspects‚ this involves talking about how data is transferred over a network‚ what a packet is and what information it contains‚ asynchronous and synchronous transmission‚ errors that data may encounter and what protocols are in place to avoid this from happening. Digital Signalling Methods- When data is sent over a network‚ it can either be through a wired or a wireless technology. The data is
