Synonym master frequency generator.

Provides three functions to an ITF Device:

Contains locations for each Virtual Channel Map
Contains versioning information for each Virtual Channel Map
An identifier for each Virtual Channel Map

1. In a data network, the station that is designated by the control station to ensure data transfer to one or more slave stations.
Note: A master station controls one or more data links of the data communications network at any given instant. The assignment of master status to a given station is temporary and is controlled by the control… (Read More →)

Timing in which one station or node supplies the timing reference for all other interconnected stations or nodes.

See group.

A waveguide component having four or more ports, and so arranged that if all ports except one are terminated in the correct impedance, there will be no reflection of energy from the junction when the fourth port is driven by a transmission line having a matching impedance.

See gel.

See absorption.

See dispersion.

In an optical fiber, pulse broadening per unit length of fiber and unit spectral width, usually expressed in picoseconds per (nanometer•kilometer).
Note 1: For many silica-based fibers, M() approaches zero at a specific wavelength 0 between
1. 3 m and
1. 5 m. At wavelengths shorter than 0, M() is negative and increases with wavelength; at wavelengths longer than 0,,… (Read More →)
