Talk:Telecommunication
From Academic Kids
I don't think telecommunication necessarily involves knowing how much information is going to be lost in transmission. Information theory is intrinsically interesting, and it's certainly relevant to the design of present-day communications systems. But some of the systems were there long before the theory.--AMT
I agree -certainly telegraph and crank telephones had little error checking capability. I don't know enough to do a rewrite though. -rmhermen
This article says that: "From the demand of telecom circuitry, a whole specialist area of integrated circuit design has emerged, called digital signal processing." But I don't quite agree with this definition of DSP or wording of this sentence. At least to my experience DSP is not just circuit design (=I work with DSP and know nothing about circuits), but a much larger entity. I feel like half of information technology is DSP. However, I didn't quite come up with a better wording. --tbackstr
Hi, I hang out in the math areas of the Wikipedia mostly, and looking through the most requested articles, I found that unit interval was a hot unwritten topic. So I wrote an article for it. Then I found that all of the articles asking for it were on telecommunications, and using it in a sense not reflected in the article that I wrote.
I went ahead and linked to my article from all of the relevant math articles, so it isn't pointless, but you all may want to have your say too. I left you a spot, so go to unit interval and tell us what that means in your field.
- Done. Thank you!
