Comms 2 (Mod 3 & 5) Flashcards
Number of binary bits 1’s or 0’s to be transmitted per second
Bit rate
The number of line “symbols” transmitted per second
Baud rate
Number of transmission channels
Channels
Machine code is also called
Machine language
In machine code when we say possible combination it refers to
Code points
Types of characters in machine codes
- Alphanumeric
- Format Effector
- Control (device and transmission)
4 types of specific code
- Baudot code
- American Standard Code for Information Exchange (ASCII)
- Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC)
- UNICODE
How many bits and code points does baudot code have
- 5 bits
- 32 code points
What institution created ASCII
American National Standard Institution
How many bits does ASCII have
- 7 bits
- 8 bits for parity bit
How many most significant bits and least significant bits does ASCII have
- 6 to 4 MSB
- 3 to 0 LSB
What type of specific code is used by microcomputers
ASCII
Baudot code is also called as
International teleprinter code
How many characters in ASCII
128
How many bits in EBCDIC
8 bits
What type of specific code is used on IBM mainframe computers
EBCDIC
How many most significant bits and least significant bits does EBCDIC have
- 0 to 3 MSB
- 4 to 7 LSB
Types of signal
- Digital
- Analog
No. of signal changes (amplitude, frequency, or phase) on a circuit per second
Signal rate (baud)
No. of bits that a circuit can carry in 1 second
Speed (bps)
- Height of the signals
- Susceptible to noise and interference
Amplitude modulation (AM)
- Frequency shift keying (FSK)
- Width of the signals
- Less interference than AM
Frequency modulation (FM)
Phase shift keying (PSK): a change from 1 to 0, or 0 to 1
Phase modulation (PM)
In phase modulations how many bits are the following
- 180 deg
- 90 deg
- 45 deg
- 1 bit
- 2 bits
- 3 bits
