  2. Signal transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_transmission

    Signal transmission. In telecommunications, transmission (sometimes abbreviated as "TX") is the process of sending or propagating an analog or digital signal via a medium that is wired, wireless, or fiber-optic. [1][2] Transmission system technologies typically refer to physical layer protocol duties such as modulation, demodulation, line ...

  3. Transmission system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_system

    Transmission system. In telecommunications, a transmission system is a system that transmits a signal from one place to another. The signal can be an electrical, optical or radio signal. The goal of a transmission system is to transmit data accurately and efficiently from point A to point B over a distance, using a variety of technologies such ...

  4. Telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications

    Telecommunications. "Telecommunication" redirects here. For the A Flock of Seagulls song, see Telecommunication (song). Telecommunication, often used in its plural form or abbreviated as telecom, is the transmission of information with an immediacy comparable to face-to-face communication. As such, slow communications technologies like postal ...

  5. Communication channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_channel

    A communication channel refers either to a physical transmission medium such as a wire, or to a logical connection over a multiplexed medium such as a radio channel in telecommunications and computer networking. A channel is used for information transfer of, for example, a digital bit stream, from one or several senders to one or several receivers.

  6. Data communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_communication

    Data communication. Data communication, including data transmission and data reception, is the transfer of data, transmitted and received over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel. Examples of such channels are copper wires, optical fibers, wireless communication using radio spectrum, storage media and computer buses.

  7. Transmission medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_medium

    Transmission medium. A transmission medium is a system or substance that can mediate the propagation of signals for the purposes of telecommunication. Signals are typically imposed on a wave of some kind suitable for the chosen medium. For example, data can modulate sound, and a transmission medium for sounds may be air, but solids and liquids ...

  8. Communication protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_protocol

    The IETF maintains the protocols in use on the Internet. The IEEE controls many software and hardware protocols in the electronics industry for commercial and consumer devices. The ITU is an umbrella organization of telecommunication engineers designing the public switched telephone network (PSTN), as well as many radio communication systems.

  9. Communications satellite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_satellite

    v. t. e. A communications satellite is an artificial satellite that relays and amplifies radio telecommunication signals via a transponder; it creates a communication channel between a source transmitter and a receiver at different locations on Earth. Communications satellites are used for television, telephone, radio, internet, and military ...
