A single-sideband emission without reduction of the carrier. [NTIA] [RR]

Full width at half maximum in which the independent variable is time. See full width at half maximum.

The peak voltage level of a nominal 400-Hz sine wave required to excite the analog-to-digital converter of the transmit channel unit to the extremes of its encoding range. [T1.305-1990]

In an analog-to-digital converter, the condition in which the input signal amplitude has just reached the threshold at which clipping begins to occur. [From Weik '89]

All processing functions required to recover the information bits from a received signal.

An expression of the extent of a function, given by the difference between the two extreme values of the independent variable at which the dependent variable is equal to half of its maximum value.
Note 1: FWHM is applied to such phenomena as the duration of pulse waveforms and the spectral width of sources used for optical communications.
Note 2:… (Read More →)

A circuit that permits simultaneous transmission in both directions.

Synonym duplex operation.

In television, a video frame update rate that provides the appearance of full motion without flicker or smear problems.
Note: Picture motion appears to be full at greater than 16 fps (frames per second). European television operates at 25 fps and North American television at 30 fps.
