ATIS is the leading technical planning and standards development organization committed to the rapid development of global, market-driven standards for the information, entertainment and communications industry.
A plan or routine for solving a problem on a computer. Note: Processing may include the use of an assembler, a compiler, an interpreter, or a translator to prepare the program for execution, as well as the execution of the program. The sequence of instructions may include statements and necessary declarations. 2. A sequence of instructions used by a computer to do a particular job or solve a given problem. 3. To design, write, and test programs.
Industry:Telecommunications
A plot of the gain or attenuation of a device, such as an amplifier or a filter, as a function of frequency. Note: A flat curve indicates a uniform gain or attenuation over the range of frequencies for which the curve is flat. Most amplifiers have a flat frequency response over a certain band, above and below which the gain is reduced. The frequency response curve of a filter has one or more peaks or troughs.
Industry:Telecommunications
A plot of the maximum response, as a function of oscillator frequency, of an array of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) damped oscillators subjected to the same base excitation. Synonym shock spectrum.
Industry:Telecommunications
A plug-in, add-on, or helper application used with a Web browser to present graphics, audio, or video files. Note: For example, an external-viewer program could allow the presentation of nonstandard graphics and audio files.
Industry:Telecommunications
A point (a) that is an extrapolated convergence--not directly measurable--of intermodulation distortion products in the desired output and (b) that indicates how well a receiver performs in the presence of strong nearby signals. Note: Determination of a third-order intercept point is accomplished by using two test frequencies that fall within the first intermediate frequency mixer passband. Usually, the test frequencies are about 20 to 30 kHz apart.
Industry:Telecommunications
A point in a standing wave at which the amplitude is a maximum.
Industry:Telecommunications
A point in time at which the quantity of TNs within existing CO codes (NXX) which are "Available for Assignment" equals zero within a switching entity/Point Of Interconnection (POI) or, conversely, when the quantities of "TNs Unavailable for Assignment" equal 10,000 times the quantity of existing CO codes (NXX) assigned to a switching entity/POI. Where CO code sharing occurs or partial CO codes are assigned to a switching entity/POI, the latter number should be adjusted accordingly.
Industry:Telecommunications
A point where connections may be made for testing or using particular communications circuits. 2. In telephony, a junction point in outside plant consisting of a splice at a junction between a branch feeder cable and distribution cables.
Industry:Telecommunications
A point within a piece of equipment or an equipment string that provides access to signals for the purpose of fault isolation.
Industry:Telecommunications
A point within a structure that provides a means to join conductors requiring an earth reference to grounding electrodes. This point may be a separate busbar located in the structure near the entrance of the grounding electrode conductor (s,) or it may be a point on a grounding electrode. In a central office, the PGP is reference point 0.
