Q

are the physical links through which signals are transferred. These are also called bounded media. These include various types of cables. The type of cable chosen for a network depends upon the network’s topology,size and speed.
Commonly used guided media include coaxial cables, wire pairs and fiber-optic cables.

Q

are the logical links through which signals are transferred. These are the natural parts of environment that can be used to transfer signals in the form of waves. The atmosphere and space are examples of unguided media.
Commonly used methods of transmission through unguided media are microwave and satellite transmission.

Q

data is transmitted in only on direction. A terminal can only send data and cannot receive data or it can only receive data but cannot send it. In this mode, the flow of information is uni-directional. It is not possible to confirm successful transmission of data. So it is rarely used for data communication.

This mode is normally used for Remote control devices in which one device can only send data and other can only receive data

A

SIMPLEX MODE

13
Q

data can be transmitted in both directions, but only in one direction at a time. Therefore data can be sent and received alternatively. Its disadvantage is that a lot of time is wasted in changing direction of flow of data. So, the transmission rate for this mode is slow.

Use: It is possible to confirm the transmission of data in this mode. So this is normally used in wireless communication system.

A

Q

data can be transmitted in both directions at the same time. In this mode, no time is wasted in changing direction of flow of data like Half-duplex mode. Therefore it is the fastest and most efficient mode.

Q

measure of wavelength at any given point of time. (Measured in Volt [V])

A

Amplitude

25
Q

number of times waveform repeats itself in second. (Measured in Hertz[Hz]

A

Frequency

26
Q

distance between two corresponding points on a waveform. (Measured in Meter [m])

A

Wavelength

27
Q

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

A

Phase

28
Q

non-continuous & they change in individual steps.
Consists of pulse & digits with discrete levels or values.
Value of pulse constant, but there is an abrupt change from one digit to another.
Have 2 amplitude levels which represents two voltage pulses.(1/0, true/false, high/low etc)
Positive voltage pulse = 1, no pulse =0
Computer is a digital device & they work on digital
signals.

A

DIGITAL SIGNAL

29
Q

signal which is transmitted at input &
signal received at output does not always match due to transmission flaws over the transmission channel.

A

TRANSMISSION FLAWS

30
Q

Cause of transmission flaws:

A

Noise
Attenuation
Latency

31

A

Noise

32

33
Q

device with amplify or regenerate
analog signal.

A

Amplifier

34
Q

Attenuation

35
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

36
Q

is the addition of information/signal to an
electronic or optical signal carrier.

40
Q

Modulation methods:

A

Amplitude modulation (AM)-the amplitude of
voltage applied to the carrier is varied over time.
Frequency modulation (FM)- the frequency of the career waveform in varied in small but meaningful amounts.
Phase modulation (PM)-the natural flow of the
alternating current waveform is delayed temporarily.

41
Q

transmitting multiple signals over a single
communication line or computer channel

A

MULTIPLEXING

42
Q

2 common multiplexing techniques:

A

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) - separates
signals by modulating the data onto different
carrier frequencies.

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) -separates
signals by interleaving bits one after the other.

43
Q

TYPES OF DATA TRANSMISSION

A

Serial transmission
Parallel transmission

44

2 types of transmission modes:

A

Asynchronous transmission
Synchronous transmission

45
Q

A technique widely used in personal computers to provide connectivity to printers, modems, fax machines etc.
Codes are sent in untimely manner with unevenintervals between characters.
Sending & receiving data is controlled by start & stop
bit.

A

Asynchronous transmission

46
Q

Technique of transmission in which the transmitter & receiver are synchronized.
Codes are sent from transmitting station to
receiving station to establish the synchronization. Data is transmitted in continuous stream.

A

Synchronous transmission
