There are an infinite number of errors in your statement. An FM signal, such as you specified earlier, does not encode information as voltage levels. The phase or frequency contains the information, and a

I cited a two-level analog signal and I can demonstrate a digital signal with a relatively large continuous range of values. His definitions are simply too restrictive
