In computer networks, propagation delay is the amount of time it takes for the head of the signal to travel from the sender to the receiver. It can be computed as the ratio between the link length and the propagation speed over the specific medium. Propagation delay is equal to d / s where d is the distance and s is the wave propagation speed.
The electrical length of an antenna, like a transmission line, is its length in wavelengths of the current on the antenna at the operating frequency. [1] [12] [13] [4]: p.91–104 An antenna's resonant frequency, radiation pattern, and driving point impedance depend not on its physical length but on its electrical length. [14]
For example, three identical systems starting to function properly at time 0 are working until all of them fail. The first system fails after 100 hours, the second after 120 hours and the third after 130 hours. The MTBF of the systems is the average of the three failure times, which is 116.667 hours.
Data rate versus line length chart, from RS-422 Annex A.1. Several key advantages offered by this standard include the differential receiver, a differential driver and data rates as high as 10 megabits per second at 12 meters (40 ft). Since the signal quality degrades with cable length, the maximum data rate decreases as cable length increases.
Graphical depiction of contributions to network delay. Network delay is a design and performance characteristic of a telecommunications network.It specifies the latency for a bit of data to travel across the network from one communication endpoint to another.
A cable in this usage cable is a thick rope or by transference a chain cable. [1] The OED gives quotations from c. 1400 onwards. A cable's length (often "cable length" or just "cable") is simply the standard length in which cables came, which by 1555 had settled to around 100 fathoms (600 ft; 180 m) or 1 ⁄ 10 nautical mile (0.19 km; 0.12 mi).

If parity is specified and we use 2 stop bits, the overhead for carrying one 8 bit character is 4 bits (one start bit, one parity bit and two stop bits) - or 50%! In this case a 9600 bit/s connection will carry 9600/12 byte/s (800 byte/s). Asynchronous serial interfaces commonly will support bit transmission speeds of up to 230.4 kbit/s. If it ...
In telecommunications, round-trip delay (RTD) or round-trip time (RTT) is the amount of time it takes for a signal to be sent plus the amount of time it takes for acknowledgement of that signal having been received. This time delay includes propagation times for the paths between the two communication endpoints. [1]
