Wavelength

29
Q

Progress of a wave over time in relationship to a fixed point or other wave with same frequency amplitude.

A

Phase

30
Q

Created by the movement/ collision of the electrons due to heat in a conductor (wire).

A

Thermal Noise

31
Q

Caused by varying magnetic field
originated from external circuit or equipment.

Induced Noise

32
Q

pulse(s) appearing at the output
point of a data line, which is not transmitted at the input point.

A

Impulse Noise

33
Q

It refers to signal affecting another
nearby signal.

A

Crosstalk

34
Q

How to eliminate noise?

A
  • Repeater
  • Amplifier
35
Q

Device that regenerates digital signal.

A

Repeater

36
Q

Device with amplify or regenerate analog signal.

A

Amplifier

37
Q

A signal sent via a transmission media, will lose a portion of its power in form of heat or other form of energy.

A

Attenuation

38
Q

Also known as delay, is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another.

A

Latency

39
Q

It is the addition of information/signal to an electronic or optical signal carrier. A device that performs modulation is a modulator.

A

Modulation

40
