Data transmission , digital transmission , or digital communications is the physical transfer of data (a digital bit stream) over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel. While analog transmission is the transfer of a continuously varying analog signal, digital communications is the transfer of discrete messages. The messages are either represented by a sequence of pulses by means of a line code, or by a limited set of continuously varying wave forms, using a digital modulation method. The passband modulation and corresponding demodulation (also known as detection) is carried out by modem equipment. According to the most common definition of digital signal, both baseband and passband signals representing bit-streams are considered as digital transmission, while an alternative definition only considers
