11 Questions
What is a key characteristic of synchronous transmission?
It requires a shared clock signal between the sender and receiver.
What is the primary purpose of the start and stop bits in asynchronous transmission?
To indicate the duration of a transmission.
What type of data transmission is typically used in the fetch-execute cycle of a computer's processor?
Synchronous transmission with a shared clock signal.
What is a key advantage of serial mediums over parallel mediums?
They are cheaper to install and require less maintenance.
What is the primary requirement for asynchronous transmission to work successfully?
The sender and receiver must use the same Baud rate.
What is the primary advantage of serial data transmission over parallel data transmission?
It is more reliable, especially over long distances
Which of the following is a measure of the number of signal changes in a medium per second?
Baud rate
What is the primary cause of data corruption in parallel data transmission?
Crosstalk
What is the unit of measurement for bandwidth?
Hertz
What is the main purpose of a protocol in communication between devices?
To allow devices made by different manufacturers to communicate seamlessly
What is the primary advantage of parallel data transmission over serial data transmission?
It is faster due to the simultaneous transmission of multiple bits
