Study Notes

Transmission Types

Non-synchronous transmission is also known as asynchronous transmission.
Non-synchronous transmissions are primarily found in motorcycles and some older vehicles.

Early Manual Transmissions

Manual transmissions commonly used in cars prior to the 1950s and 1960s were non-synchronous transmissions.

Multi-Speed Manual Transmissions

The Cadillac Type V-12 is considered to have set the template for multi-speed manual transmissions in motor vehicles.

Early Automobile Transmissions

Most early automobiles used a rear-engined, single-speed transmission.

Data Communication

Data communication or digital communications refers to the transmission of information in digital form.

Communication Channels

Examples of communication channels for data transmission include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, and fiber optics.

Analog Transmission

Analog transmission refers to the transmission of information in analog form, typically using continuous signals.

Analog Signal Representation

In analog transmission, messages are represented by continuous signals that vary in amplitude, frequency, or phase.

Digital Modulation Method

Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is a digital modulation method used in analog transmission.
