3.3.10—Benefits of digital signalling question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

A mobile phone (cell phone) network uses microwaves of frequency 1.9×109 Hz1.9 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~Hz} to transmit and receive signals.

The speed of microwaves in air is 3.0×108 m/s3.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}.

All mobile phone (cell phone) networks use digital signals to communicate with the phone.

State two advantages of using digital signals rather than analogue signals.
