Analog Signal of Noncontinuous Variables

[analogdesign]

Well, that's a relief.
I guess I would refer to what you're talking about would be something like 'Time- windowed sampling'. But at least we basically agree and we aren't getting into a fight about it.

I did get the sense we agreed, even if we didn't know it yet. ;)

I think "time-windowed sampling" would be a fine way to describe this kind of signal. I use the term "discrete-time analog" primarily because that is the term used in the analog IC business (these kinds are systems are almost always integrated). Since the OP is a student it is good to at least start by using generally accepted terms whenever possible.
