Abbreviation for binary synchronous (bi-sync) communication.

1. A systematic deviation of a value from a reference value.
2. The amount by which the average of a set of values departs from a reference value.
3. Electrical, mechanical, magnetic, or other force (field) applied to a device to establish a reference level to operate the device.
4. In telegraph signaling systems, the development of a positive or… (Read More →)

1. Signal distortion resulting from a shift in the bias.
2. In binary signaling, distortion of the signal in which all the significant intervals have uniformly longer or shorter durations than their theoretical durations.
Note: Bias distortion is expressed in percent of the system-specified unit interval.

In the generation of pseudorandom or random numbers, pertaining to or describing a condition that renders the more likely occurrence of some numbers or patterns than others. [After X9.17]

Bearer Independent Call Control

An antenna consisting of two conical conductors, having a common axis and vertex, and extending in opposite directions.
Note 1: In a biconical antenna, excitation is applied at the common vertex.
Note 2: If one of the cones is reduced to a plane, the antenna is called a discone.

In data transmission, the condition that exists when information flow characteristics are different in each direction.

Association established between two higher layer entities for which information is transmitted between both entities. [After T1.629-1999]

See directional coupler.

The condition that exists when information flow characteristics are the same in each direction.
