Industry:Telecommunications
A mode whose electric and magnetic field vectors are both normal to the direction of propagation. Note: The TEM mode is the most useful mode in a coaxial cable.
Industry:Telecommunications
A mode whose electric field vector is normal to the direction of propagation. Note: TE modes may be useful modes in waveguides. In an optical fiber, TE and TM modes correspond to meridional rays.
Industry:Telecommunications

Industry:Telecommunications
A modem whose modulated output signal can have an essential frequency spectrum that is broader than that which can be wholly contained within, and faithfully transmitted through, a voice channel with a nominal 4-kHz bandwidth. 2. A modem whose bandwidth capability is greater than that of a narrowband modem.
