A little more about simplex, half duplex and double duplex communication systems ( in terms of Band Width )

 

            In communications, you might have come across simplex, half duplex and full duplex systems.


Further than definitions, we have following thing:-

  • In simplex, as there is only one side communication, the allocated Band Width (BW) allocated can completely used by the signal itself. Same is the case with the half duplex, since only one signal can use the channel at a time
  • But in the case of full duplex, there will be a simultaneous transmission of  two signals ( transmitted and received ). So, there can be following observations :-
  1. The channel BW has to be divided into two halves, each half allocated per signal.
  2. For each half of the BW, there will be a carrier signal frequency at the center of the band. 
  3. If the channel capacity is more, then it is more effectively used when it is employed with full duplex system. In simplex and half duplex systems, even though channel has more capacity, it goes useless if it is used only for transmitting only one signal...

Top 5 take aways from "Linux 101 Hacks" - The Bloggers League 2022

  Author: Rama Subrahmanyam Hello, how are you doing..?         We all know that Windows is a super cute-looking OS, but software people will connect to Linux; It offers much flexibility with file management, and plus, it's open-source too..!         So, the book - Linux 101 Hacks, is a nice intro for beginners, by Ramesh Natarajan . Having said that, we look at the top 5 hacks from the book. It is a free e-book, and you can download it here . 1. 'alias' for most used commands:-     There will be commands that are used repeatedly, for which we can have a shortcut using an alias. For example, for cd commands, we can have            alias cd1="cd .."           alias cd2="cd ../.."           alias cd3="cd ../../.."           alias cd4="cd ../../../.."           alias cd5="cd ../../.....

Bye-bye strict timetables...! - The Bloggers League 2022

     Author: Rama Subrahmanyam (ramasubrahmanyam.m@gmail.com) When we are planning for multi-tasking, we divide our time and allocate it for each task. That is a great thing, as it gives a chance for incremental growth, eventually getting compounded...      Scheduling makes us punctual; sometimes forces us to be punctual if someone is counting on us, say an examination, office meeting, so on...      Besides strict things, some activities should happen at planned times, like sports, gym, etc. But, we still have things, that can be done in our free time - say reading books, solving puzzles, or learning something of our passion. Should we also maintain the timetable in those cases...? Well, may not be that necessary... We get used to a task at the same time if we have a strict timetable; In a way, can also affect our peace... Suppose due to urgent work, we missed a task      -  We may develop a bad feeling,    ...

How can we become narrow-minded people without realising it?

In science, whenever we observe a novel event, we start sharpening our brains to decode it. We make a couple more observations related to that event, and try to get a reason for it. It was also the same with the previous generation of scientists. They observed various new phenomena and they gathered as much information as possible to get the accurate reason behind them. But there was a problem with the human mind. In the past days, when there was limited information at hand and more time was required for getting new information, scientists had to make the best possible theories (i.e., explanations) with whatever data was available. It was like a competition, where the scientist with the best theory would win. This "winner" scientist, should be able to explain the data from future experiments with the theory. Consider that, a new experiment happened later, but the results were not explained by the theory of our scientist, then the theory was to be changed, and again the compet...
