Computer science JRF Computer Network Synchronous

• The term synchronous is used to describe a continuous and consistent timed transfer of data blocks.

• Synchronous transmission is more difficult and expensive to implement than asynchronous transmission.

• Microwave transmission is line of sight transmission.

• In bipolar encoding,  we use three levels: positive, zero and negative.

• The signal rate is sometimes called the baud rate.

• The data rate is sometimes called the bit rate.
