The number of bits transmitted per second.

The range of frequencies within a given band, in particular that used for transmitting a signal.

A measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise.

Twice the highest frequency of a given signal, the minimum rate at which a signal can be sampled without introducing errors.

The theoretical maximum data rate of a noise-free channel with a given bandwidth.

The process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a modulating signal that typically contains information to be transmitted.

A form of modulation that represents digital data as variations in the amplitude of a carrier wave.

A form of modulation that represents digital data through discrete frequency changes of the carrier wave.

A modulation technique in which the phase of the carrier wave is varied to represent digital binary data.

A method of combining two amplitude-modulated signals into a single channel, thereby doubling the effective bandwidth.

Methods used in digital communications to detect and correct errors in the transmitted data.

The number of positions at which the corresponding symbols are different in two strings of equal length.

A technique used for controlling errors in data transmission over unreliable or noisy communication channels, where the transmitter adds redundant data to its messages.

A protocol for error control in data transmission where the receiver has the ability to detect errors and to request a retransmission of the data.

A form of distortion of a signal in which one symbol interferes with subsequent symbols; an important factor limiting the data rate in digital communication systems.

A necessary condition for a communication channel to be free of inter-symbol interference (ISI) is that the overall impulse response of the channel at the sampling times is an impulse.

A method used to digitally represent sampled analog signals, which is the standard form for digital audio in computers and various Blu-ray, Compact Disc and DVD formats.

A method to combine multiple signals into one signal over a shared medium.

A method of encoding digital data on multiple carrier frequencies that are orthogonal to each other.

An access method used by various radio communication technologies in which several transmitters can send information simultaneously over a single communication channel.

A representation of a signal modulated by a digital modulation scheme such as quadrature amplitude modulation or phase-shift keying.

The process of obtaining a phase-coherent carrier signal from the received signal to enable demodulation and decoding.

The number of symbol changes (waveform changes or signaling events) made to the transmission medium per second in a digitally modulated signal or a line code.

A technique used in digital communications in which data is represented by relative rather than absolute changes in the signal.

An error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to raw data.

Reduction in the amplitude or power of a signal as it travels through a transmission medium.

The process of adjusting the balance between frequency components within an electronic signal.

Any unwanted form of energy that disturbs a communicated or received message or signal.
