Define terminologies for transmission impairments

 .

Here are some commonly used terminologies in the context of transmission impairments:

  1. Attenuation: Attenuation is the reduction in signal strength as it travels over a distance. It is caused by various factors, such as resistance, inductance and capacitance, in the transmission medium.
  2. Distortion: Distortion occurs when the signal is altered or distorted during transmission, resulting in errors or corruption of the original signal. Distortion can be caused by various factors, such as noise, interference and nonlinearities in the transmission medium. 
  3. Noise: Noise is an unwanted signal that interferes with the original signal during transmission. It can be caused by various sources such as electromagnetic interference (EMI), crosstalk and thermal noise.
  4. Interference: Interference is a form of noise that is caused by external sources, such as other electronic devices or radio waves. It can cause distortions in the original signal and affect the quality of the transmission.
  5. Delay: Delay is the amount of time it takes for a signal to travel from the transmitter to the receiver. It can be caused by various factors, such as the distance between the transmitter and receiver, the speed of the transmission medium, and the processing time of the equipment.
  6. Jitter: Jitter is the variation in the timing of a signal as it is transmitted over a distance. It can be caused by various factors, such as interference, noise and variations in the processing time of the equipment.
  7. These are some of the commonly used terminologies in the context of transmission impairments. Understanding these concepts is important for designing and maintaining reliable communication systems.

Introduction of Computer

.  A computer is an electronic device. It take input and store the data in memory and performing the function to produce accurate result in output device. It is used to type document, send email, play game, browse the web and entertainment.   Characteristics of computer  1 . High speed  Computer is very fast device. It is capable of performing calculation of very large amount of data. The computer has unit of speed in microsecond, nanosecond and even in picosecond. The computer is capable of performing millions of tasks per second. 2. Accuracy  The computer produces highly accurate and reliable result.  It does not make any kind of mistake in calculating. The calculation are 100% error free. The computers perform accurate 'n' number of times. 3. Storage capability A computer has much more storage capability. It can store large amount of data. It can store any type of data such as image, video, text document, audio and many more. 4. Diligence Diligence ...

Introduce Linux, UNIX and Linux distribution.

 . Linux Linux is an open source operating system. The term Linux is actually referred to mean a kernel of Unix like operating system developed by a Finish software architect Linus Torvald. The name Linux is derived from Linus' Unix. Linux was originated from the inspiration of a small Unix like operating system MINIX by A.S Tanenbum. Linux is a complete multiuser, multiprocessing, secure and stable operating system which is also considered as UNIX clone. However no code from the proprietary from AT and T is included in Unix. It has flavor of Unix but is not Unix. UNIX  UNIX is a layered operating system. The innermost layer is the hardware that provides the service for the OS. The operating system, referred to in UNIX as the kernel, interacts directly with the hardware and provides the services to the user program. These user programs don't need to know anything about the hardware. They just need to know how to interact with the kernel and it's up to the kernel to provide ...

Open System Interconnect (OSI) Reference Model

 . Open system interconnection (OSI) Model explains how packet travels through various layers to other devices on a network, even if the sender and destination have different types of network media. Layer 1(Physical layer):  Function  To activate, maintain, deactivate the physical connection.  To define voltage and data rates needed for transmission.  To convert the digital bits into electrical signals.  To decide weather the transmission the transmission is simplex, half or full duplex.  Physical layer doesn’t perform the detection and correction of errors. Layer 2 (Datalink layer):  Framing (stream of bits into manageable data units):  The datalink layer divides the stream of bits received from the network layer into frame manageable data units called frames.  Physical addressing (MAC Address):  Data link layer adds a header to header to the frame to define the sender and receiver of the frame. Flow Control (mechanism for overwhel...
