<blockquote>'''A simple example:''' A telephone line is designed for transferring audible sounds, for example, tones, and not digital bits (zeros and ones). Computers may, however, communicate over a telephone line by means of modems, which are representing the digital bits by tones, called symbols. If there are four alternative symbols (corresponding to a musical instrument that can generate four different tones, one at a time), the first symbol may represent the bit sequence 00, the second 01, the third 10 and the fourth 11. If the modem plays a melody consisting of 1000 tones per second, the [[symbol rate]] is 1000 symbols/second, or 1000 [[baud]]. Since each tone (i.e., symbol) represents a message consisting of two digital bits in this example, the [[bit rate]] is twice the symbol rate, i.e. 2000 bits per second.</blockquote>
 
According to one definition of [[Digital signal (electronics)|digital signal]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Modulation Methods {{!}} Electronics Basics {{!}} ROHM|url=https://www.rohm.com/electronics-basics/wireless/modulation-methods|website=www.rohm.com|access-date=2020-05-15}}</ref> the modulated signal is a digital signal. According to another definition, the modulation is a form of [[digital-to-analog conversion]]. Most textbooks would consider digital modulation schemes as a form of [[digital transmission]], synonymous to [[data transmission]]; very few would consider it as [[analog transmission]].
