31
Q

2 station data communication circuit diagram/flow

A

Digital information source -> Transmitter -> Transmission medium -> Receiver -> Digital information destination

32
Q

may come from a mainframe computer, personal computer, workstation, or any other digital equipment.

A

source/destination

33
Q

encodes the source information and converts it to a different form and the transmitter acts as an interface between the source equipment and the transmission medium.

A

transmitter

34
Q

carries the encoded signals from the transmitter to the receiver.

A

transmission medium

35
Q

types of transmission medium

A
  • free space radio transmission
  • Metallic cables
  • Optical fiber cables
36
Q

converts the encoded signals received from the transmission medium back to their original form. The receiver acts as an interface between the transmission medium and the destination equipment.

A

receiver

37
Q

used to represent characters and symbols such as letters, digits and punctuation marks

A

data communication codes

38
Q

data communication codes are called

43
Q

In these type of Modems, clocking information is recovered in the receiver.

A

Synchronous

44
