## Overview
Signal refers to both the process and the result of transmission of data over some media accomplished by embedding some variation. Signals are important in multiple subject fields including signal processing, [[Information_theory|information theory]] and biology.
_(Overview is shorter than 200 words; the pipeline should expand it from textbook context before publishing.)_
