telecommunication

Noun
  1. associated with:
    • sampling - measurement at regular intervals of the amplitude of a varying waveform (in order to convert it to digital form)
    • electronic converter - (telecommunication) converter for converting a signal from one frequency to another
    • loop gain - (telecommunication) the gain of a feedback amplifier or system as a function of how much output is fed back to the input
    • telecommunication - (often plural) the branch of electrical engineering concerned with the technology of electronic communication at a distance
    • sunrise industry - a new industry that is expanding rapidly (especially telecommunications or electronics)
    • sampling rate - (telecommunication) the frequency of sampling per unit time
    • nyquist rate - (telecommunication) the lowest sampling rate that will permit accurate reconstruction of a sampled analog signal
    • sampling frequency - (telecommunication) the frequency of sampling a continuously varying signal
    • nyquist frequency - (telecommunication) twice the maximum frequency occurring in the transmitted signal
    • call - send a message or attempt to reach someone by radio, phone, etc.; make a signal to in order to transmit a message
    • duplex - allowing communication in opposite directions simultaneously
    • simplex - allowing communication in only one direction at a time, or in telegraphy allowing only one message over a line at a time
    domain usage: plural, plural form - the form of a word that is used to denote more than one
    is a type of: medium - a means or instrumentality for storing or communicating information
    subtypes:
