A single strand of glass used as an optical transmission
medium; or a bundle of glass strands in a CATV system.
The number of similar shapes in a unit of time. For
example, the number of sine waves moving past a fixed
point in a second.
The ability to change from one frequency to another
without changing components.
frequency of the carrier varies in proportion to the
instantaneous amplitude of the modulating signal while
the amplitude of the radio frequency carrier is independent
of the amplitude of the modulating signal.
The effect that changing the frequency has on the
magnitude of a signal.
A measure of the departure from nominal frequency value
of a signal, with respect to time, temperature, or other
influence.
