  2. International Code of Signals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Code_of_Signals

    The International Code of Signals (INTERCO) is an international system of signals and codes for use by vessels to communicate important messages regarding safety of navigation and related matters. Signals can be sent by flaghoist, signal lamp ("blinker"), flag semaphore, radiotelegraphy, and radiotelephony. The International Code is the most ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_and_phase-shift...

    A modified constellation diagram of 16-APSK. Typically 16-APSK will have 15 degree phase offset on the outer ring, which is not depicted here. Symbols can be easily distinguished from each other and, moreover, varying of the space between rings is a way to counteract transmission distortions. [4]

  4. Phase-shift keying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-shift_keying

    OFDM. FDM. Multiplexing. v. t. e. Phase-shift keying (PSK) is a digital modulation process which conveys data by changing (modulating) the phase of a constant frequency carrier wave. The modulation is accomplished by varying the sine and cosine inputs at a precise time. It is widely used for wireless LANs, RFID and Bluetooth communication.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures

    This is a list of file signatures, data used to identify or verify the content of a file. Such signatures are also known as magic numbers or Magic Bytes. Many file formats are not intended to be read as text. If such a file is accidentally viewed as a text file, its contents will be unintelligible. However, some file signatures can be ...

  7. Variations in traffic light operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variations_in_traffic...

    Variations in traffic light operation. Swedish traffic light (left) for use by public transport vehicles only. All signals use white lighting and special symbols ("S", "–" and an arrow) to distinguish them from regular signals. The small light at the top tells the driver when the vehicle's transponder signal is received by the traffic light.

  8. GPS signals - Wikipedia

    It contains a PRN code of unknown length transmitted at 5.115 MHz. Unlike the P(Y)-code, the M-code is designed to be autonomous, meaning that a user can calculate their position using only the M-code signal. From the P(Y)-code's original design, users had to first lock onto the C/A code and then transfer the lock to the P(Y)-code.

  9. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing - Wikipedia

    where is the symbol rate in giga-symbols per second (Gsps), is the bandwidth of OFDM signal, and the factor of 2 is due to the two polarization states in the fiber. There is saving of bandwidth by using multicarrier modulation with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing.
