  2. Signal strength in telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_strength_in...

    For very low-power systems, such as mobile phones, signal strength is usually expressed in dB-microvolts per metre (dBμV/m) or in decibels above a reference level of one milliwatt . In broadcasting terminology, 1 mV/m is 1000 μV/m or 60 dBμ (often written dBu). Examples. 100 dBμ or 100 mV/m: blanketing interference may occur on some receivers

  4. Modem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modem

    A modem transmits data by modulating one or more carrier wave signals to encode digital information, while the receiver demodulates the signal to recreate the original digital information. The goal is to produce a signal that can be transmitted easily and decoded reliably.

  5. Data Carrier Detect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Carrier_Detect

    On a data modem, the carrier's loss equates to the connection's termination. Much like the Ring Indicator signal, on a PC's serial port, changes to the DCD signal state can generate a hardware interrupt that can be captured by the processor any time the DCD signal changes state, preventing the PC from needing to constantly poll the pin.

  6. Path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_loss

    Path loss normally includes propagation losses caused by the natural expansion of the radio wave front in free space (which usually takes the shape of an ever-increasing sphere), absorption losses (sometimes called penetration losses), when the signal passes through media not transparent to electromagnetic waves, diffraction losses when part of the radiowave front is obstructed by an opaque ...

  7. Received signal strength indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_signal_strength...

    Cellular signal strength of -74dBm (or 66 asu) displayed on a smartphone.Also shown: signal bars of two cellular networks, and signal bars of a Wi-Fi network. In telecommunications, received signal strength indicator or received signal strength indication [1] (RSSI) is a measurement of the power present in a received radio signal.

  8. Satellite modem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_modem

    Similarly, a signal received from a satellite is firstly downconverted (this is done by a Low-noise block converter - LNB), then demodulated by a modem, and at last handled by data terminal equipment. The LNB is usually powered by the modem through the signal cable with 13 or 18 V DC.

  9. Plain language radio checks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_language_radio_checks

    A plain-language radio check is the means of requesting and giving a signal strength and readability report for radiotelephony (voice) communications, and is the direct equivalent to the QSA and QRK code used to give the same report in radiotelegraph communications.
