Datacom_ELECTRONICS Flashcards
A detectable physical quantity or impulse (as a voltage,
or magnetic field strength) by which messages or information can be transmitted
Signal
Two Kinds of Signals
Signal that can take only discrete values
Digital
Two Kinds of Signals
A signal that can take values within a continuous range
Analog
A signal that will have the same value as that of s at time t after a time interval T has elapsed
Periodic Signal
the instantaneous value of a signal in any time. For
electrical the unit is volts.
Amplitude
The number of repetitions per unit time. The common
unit of frequency is repetitions per second or cycles
per second or Hertz.
Frequency
what is used to indicate a relative position and the unit
the same as that for angles?
Phase
Refers to the amount of time, in seconds, a signal needs to complete one cycle
Period
refers to the number of periods in one second
Frequency
What are the 3 Modulating Techniques?
- Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)
- Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
- Phase Shift Keying (PSK)
Is another form of angle-modulated digital modulation. four output phases possible for a single carrier frequency with four different inputs, with 2 bits per input
Quadrature Phase Shift Keying
