  2. Line code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_code

    One of the principle advantages of this type of code is that it can eliminate any DC component. This is important if the signal must pass through a transformer or a long transmission line. Unfortunately, several long-distance communication channels have polarity ambiguity. Polarity-insensitive line codes compensate in these channels.

  3. Passthrough (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passthrough_(electronics)

    VCRs, DVD recorders, etc. act as a "pass-through" for composite video and S-video, though sometimes they act as an RF modulator for use on Channel 3. Tape monitor features allow an AV receiver (sometime the recording device itself) to act as a "pass-through" for audio.

  4. Polar modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_modulation

    Polar modulation was originally developed by Thomas Edison in his 1874 quadruplex telegraph – this allowed 4 signals to be sent along a pair of lines, 2 in each direction. Sending a signal in each direction had already been accomplished earlier, and Edison found that by combining amplitude and phase modulation (i.e., by polar modulation), he ...

  5. Analog passthrough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_passthrough

    Analog passthrough is a feature found on some digital-to-analog television converter boxes. Boxes without the analog passthrough feature only allow older, analog-only TVs to view digital TV. Those with analog pass-through allow both digital and analog television to be viewed on older TVs.

    Remote Control Pass Through allows remote control commands to be passed through to other devices within the system Device OSD Name Transfer transfers the preferred device names to the TV set System Audio Control allows the volume of an AV receiver, integrated amplifier or preamplifier to be controlled using any remote control from a suitably ...

  7. Polarization (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)

    Polarized light can be produced by passing unpolarized light through a polarizer, which allows waves of only one polarization to pass through. The most common optical materials do not affect the polarization of light, but some materials—those that exhibit birefringence , dichroism , or optical activity —affect light differently depending on ...

  8. Passband - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passband

    A passband is the range of frequencies or wavelengths that can pass through a filter. For example, a radio receiver contains a bandpass filter to select the frequency of the desired radio signal out of all the radio waves picked up by its antenna. The passband of a receiver is the range of frequencies it can receive when it is tuned into the ...

    As with other codes, the maximum likelihood decoding of an LDPC code on the binary symmetric channel is an NP-complete problem, [24] shown by reduction from 3-dimensional matching.
