Q. There are three sampling methods: __________.

View solution

Q. ______ finds the value of the signal amplitude for each sample; ____ finds the change from the previous sample.

View solution

Q. While there is (are) only _____ way(s) to send parallel data, there is (are) three subclass(es) of serial transmission.

View solution

Q. In ______ transmission, we send 1 start bit (0) at the beginning and 1 or more stop bits (1s) at the end of each byte.

View solution

Q. In _________ transmission, we send bits one after another without start or stop bits or gaps. It is the responsibility of the receiver to group the bits.

View solution

Q. The ________ mode provides synchronization for the entire stream of bits must. In other words, it guarantees that the data arrive at a fixed rate.

View solution

Q. A _________ digital signal includes timing information in the data being transmitted.

View solution

Q. In decoding a digital signal, the receiver calculates a running average of the received signal power, called the _______.

View solution

Q. The ________ rate defines the number of data elements sent in 1s; the ______ rate is the number of signal elements sent in 1s.

View solution

Q. The signal rate is sometimes called the ____ rate.

View solution

Q. The data rate is sometimes called the ___ rate.
