Transmitting Bits

electrical circuit

bit rate

the number of bits sents over the rate each second

bit rate/time

encoding scheme; manchester encoding

Ethernet LANs

protocal used in networking that rates over 1 gigabit

UTP (Unshielded Twisted-Pair)

pin positions, RJ-45 conncectors

Wireless WANs & LANs

Radio Basics

electromagnetic radiation

electromagnetic wave frequency are called radio waves
