  2. Propagation delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_delay

    Propagation delay is equal to d / s where d is the distance and s is the wave propagation speed. In wireless communication, s=c, i.e. the speed of light. In copper wire, the speed s generally ranges from .59c to .77c. [3] [4] This delay is the major obstacle in the development of high-speed computers and is called the interconnect bottleneck in ...

  3. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio

    For n-bit integers with equal distance between quantization levels (uniform quantization) the dynamic range (DR) is also determined. Assuming a uniform distribution of input signal values, the quantization noise is a uniformly distributed random signal with a peak-to-peak amplitude of one quantization level, making the amplitude ratio 2 n /1.

  4. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)

    Latency, from a general point of view, is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Lag, as it is known in gaming circles, refers to the latency between the input to a simulation and the visual or auditory response, often occurring because of network delay in online games.

  5. Infrared Data Association - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_Data_Association

    The typical sweet spot for IrDA communications is from 5 to 60 cm (2.0 to 23.6 in) away from a transceiver, in the center of the cone. IrDA data communications operate in half-duplex mode because while transmitting, a device's receiver is blinded by the light of its own transmitter, and thus full-duplex communication is not feasible.

  6. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

    This value is a product of bandwidth and distance because there is a trade-off between the bandwidth of the signal and the distance over which it can be carried. For example, a common multi-mode fiber with bandwidth–distance product of 500 MHz·km could carry a 500 MHz signal for 1 km or a 1000 MHz signal for 0.5 km.

  7. Communication channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_channel

    Statistically, a communication channel is usually modeled as a tuple consisting of an input alphabet, an output alphabet, and for each pair (i, o) of input and output elements, a transition probability p(i, o). Semantically, the transition probability is the probability that the symbol o is received given that i was transmitted over the channel.

  8. CANopen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CANopen

    CANopen devices must have an object dictionary, which is used for configuration and communication with the device. An entry in the object dictionary is defined by: Index, the 16-bit address of the object in the dictionary; Object name (Object Type/Size), a symbolic type of the object in the entry, such as an array, record, or simple variable

  9. Attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation

    where is the input power into a 100 m long cable terminated with the nominal value of its characteristic impedance, and is the output power at the far end of this cable. [ 14 ] Attenuation in a coaxial cable is a function of the materials and the construction.
