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
