FSK – Frequency Shift Keying

FSK is a digital modulation technique that can be used to transmit data over long distances. It is often used in radio and fiber optic communications systems. FSK uses a carrier signal that is shifted between two frequencies to represent binary data. The frequency of the carrier signal is changed according to the bit sequence … Read more

CSMA-CD Carrier Sensing Multiple Access with Collision Detection

Carrier Sensing Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) is a media access control method used most often in Ethernet networks. It uses carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) to listen for other transmissions before sending, and collision detection (CD) to detect and recover from collisions when two devices attempt to transmit at the same time. The … Read more

TDMA

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared medium networks. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using their own time slot. This allows multiple stations to share the … Read more

CC – Competitive Carrier

Competitive carriers (CCs) are telecommunications providers that compete with incumbent carriers. They typically provide services to business and residential customers in areas where the incumbent carrier does not offer service, or they may offer a different type of service than the incumbent carrier. CCs may also provide services to mobile users, such as voice and … Read more

BRI – ISDN Basic Rate Interface

The Basic Rate Interface (BRI) is a digital circuit-switched telephone line used to provide both voice and data services over the same line. The BRI consists of two 64 kbps bearer (or “B”) channels and one 16 kbps control or signaling (“D”) channel. The BRI is commonly used in Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand … Read more

ASK – Amplitude Shift Keying

ASK is a digital modulation technique that is used to transmit digital data over an analog carrier signal. The amplitude of the carrier signal is varied in accordance with the digital data being transmitted. ASK is a very simple and efficient way to transmit digital data and has been widely used in many applications such … Read more

AM – Amplitude Modulation

Amplitude Modulation (AM) is a technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting information via a radio carrier wave. AM works by varying the amplitude of the carrier wave in accordance with the information being sent. The receiver detects these amplitude changes and converts them back into the original information. One advantage of AM … Read more

Customer Premise Equipment (CPE)

CPE is Customer Premise Equipment that provides internet access, telephone services, and television service to customers. It is usually provided by the customer’s Local Exchange Carrier (LEC). The CPE may be owned or leased by the customer. The most common type of CPE is a modem. A modem converts digital signals from a computer into … Read more
