In a received signal, the variation (with time) of the amplitude or relative phase, or both, of one or more of the frequency components of the signal. Note: Fading is caused by changes in the characteristics of the propagation path with time.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a recording medium, a unit of linear packing density of characters.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a regenerative repeater, the process by which digital signals are amplified, reshaped, retimed, and retransmitted. Synonym positive feedback. 2. In a storage or display device, the restoration of stored or displayed data that have deteriorated. Note: For example, conventional cathode-ray tube displays must be continually regenerated for the data to remain displayed. 3. In computer graphics, the sequence of events needed to generate a display image from its representation in storage.

Industry:Telecommunications
In a relatively wide band of frequencies, not necessarily of uniform amplitude, a narrow band of frequencies having relatively low amplitudes.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a representation of a number, a digit that is needed for a given purpose; in particular, a digit that must be kept to preserve a given accuracy or a given precision.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a ring network, a functional unit used to connect and disconnect data stations to and from the ring without disrupting network operations.
Industry:Telecommunications
In a ring network, such as a token ring network, the time required for a signal to propagate once around the ring. Note 1: Ring latency may be measured in seconds or in bits at the data transmission rate. Note 2: Ring latency includes signal propagation delays in (a) the ring medium, (b) the drop cables, and (c) the data stations connected to the ring network.
Industry:Telecommunications
In security, the acquisition of sensitive information by collecting and correlating information of lesser sensitivity.
Industry:Telecommunications
In security, the level of authority required from an entity to access a protected resource. Note: An example of access level is the authority to access information at a particular security level. 2. The hierarchical portion of the security level used to identify sensitivity of information-system (IS) data and the clearance or authorization of users. Access level, in conjunction with the nonhierarchical categories, forms the sensitivity label of an object.
