  2. Reorder tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reorder_tone

    The signal is used to indicate that the destination is unreachable, either because all circuits (trunks) are busy, the called number is out of service, ...

  3. Delay (audio effect) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay_(audio_effect)

    Delay is an audio signal processing technique that records an input signal to a storage medium and then plays it back after a period of time. When the delayed playback is mixed with the live audio, it creates an echo-like effect, whereby the original audio is heard followed by the delayed audio.

  4. Pulse-repetition frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-repetition_frequency

    The pulse-repetition frequency (PRF) is the number of pulses of a repeating signal in a specific time unit. The term is used within a number of technical disciplines, notably radar. In radar, a radio signal of a particular carrier frequency is turned on and off; the term "frequency" refers to the carrier, while the PRF refers to the number of ...

  5. Radio repeater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_repeater

    A radio repeater is a combination of a radio receiver and a radio transmitter that receives a signal and retransmits it, so that two-way radio signals can cover longer distances. A repeater sited at a high elevation can allow two mobile stations, otherwise out of line-of-sight propagation range of each other, to communicate. [ 1 ]

  6. Repeater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeater

    There are several different types of repeaters; a telephone repeater is an amplifier in a telephone line, an optical repeater is an optoelectronic circuit that amplifies the light beam in an optical fiber cable; and a radio repeater is a radio receiver and transmitter that retransmits a radio signal.

  7. Chirp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp

    A chirp is a signal in which the frequency increases (up-chirp) or decreases (down-chirp) with time. In some sources, the term chirp is used interchangeably with sweep signal. [1] It is commonly applied to sonar, radar, and laser systems, and to other applications, such as in spread-spectrum communications (see chirp spread spectrum). This ...

  8. Broadcast relay station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_relay_station

    NHK digital television, KRY, TYS and YAB transmitter in Iwakuni. A broadcast relay station, also known as a satellite station, relay transmitter, broadcast translator (U.S.), re-broadcaster (Canada), repeater (two-way radio) or complementary station (Mexico), is a broadcast transmitter which repeats (or transponds) the signal of a radio or television station to an area not covered by the ...

  9. Pseudorandom noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_noise

    In cryptography, pseudorandom noise (PRN [1]) is a signal similar to noise which satisfies one or more of the standard tests for statistical randomness.Although it seems to lack any definite pattern, pseudorandom noise consists of a deterministic sequence of pulses that will repeat itself after its period.
