Exam Review Flashcards
EIA/TIA
Writes network cable guidelines
IEEE
Electronic engineering standards
ISO
Technological standards
IANA and ICANN
IANA - REcords and doles out IP Addresses
ICANN - Domain name and IP assignment
Transmission channel capacity
C = 2B with no noise
More noise = less signal
Measured in bps
The difference btw. highest & lowest frequencies a medium can transmit
ASK Modulation
Amplitude Shift Keying
What is Decibel?
Relative measure if signal loss or gain
What is dBW?
Decibel Watts
Measure of amplification relative to previous Db level
PSK
DIGITAL MODULATION - Phase shift keying
FSK
Frequency shift keying
QAM
Combination of ASK and PSK
Modems modulate by QAM
What is modulation?
Move signal from low to high frequency Amplitude - ASK Frequency - FSK Phase - PSK QAM = ASK +PSK
Relationship btw. signal and frequency?
Higher signal = higher frequency
What does a repeater do?
Cleans noise
Baud rate
How many times per second a signal changes
Bit rate
Speed of data transmission (bps)
Propagation delay
Delay b/c distance
Transmission delay
Hardware/ cable limits
