n. (communication) | 1. telecom, telecommunication | (often plural) systems used in transmitting messages over a distance electronically. |
| ~ sampling | measurement at regular intervals of the amplitude of a varying waveform (in order to convert it to digital form). |
| ~ electronic converter | (telecommunication) converter for converting a signal from one frequency to another. |
| ~ loop gain | (telecommunication) the gain of a feedback amplifier or system as a function of how much output is fed back to the input.; "if the loop gain is too great the system may go into oscillation" |
| ~ telecommunication | (often plural) the branch of electrical engineering concerned with the technology of electronic communication at a distance. |

| ~ telephony, telephone | transmitting speech at a distance. |
| ~ telegraphy | communicating at a distance by electric transmission over wire. |
| ~ wireless | transmission by radio waves. |
| ~ broadcasting | taking part in a radio or tv program. |

| ~ plural, plural form | the form of a word that is used to denote more than one. |
| ~ sunrise industry | a new industry that is expanding rapidly (especially telecommunications or electronics). |
| ~ sampling rate | (telecommunication) the frequency of sampling per unit time. |
| ~ nyquist rate | (telecommunication) the lowest sampling rate that will permit accurate reconstruction of a sampled analog signal. |
| ~ sampling frequency | (telecommunication) the frequency of sampling a continuously varying signal. |
| ~ nyquist frequency | (telecommunication) twice the maximum frequency occurring in the transmitted signal. |
| ~ call | send a message or attempt to reach someone by radio, phone, etc.; make a signal to in order to transmit a message.; "Hawaii is calling!"; "A transmitter in Samoa was heard calling" |
| ~ duplex | allowing communication in opposite directions simultaneously.; "duplex system"; "duplex telephony" |
| ~ simplex | allowing communication in only one direction at a time, or in telegraphy allowing only one message over a line at a time.; "simplex system" |
n. (cognition) | 2. telecommunication | (often plural) the branch of electrical engineering concerned with the technology of electronic communication at a distance. |
| ~ ee, electrical engineering | the branch of engineering science that studies the uses of electricity and the equipment for power generation and distribution and the control of machines and communication. |
| ~ telecom, telecommunication | (often plural) systems used in transmitting messages over a distance electronically. |
| ~ plural, plural form | the form of a word that is used to denote more than one. |
| ~ ecc, error correction code | (telecommunication) a coding system that incorporates extra parity bits in order to detect errors. |
| ~ quantise, quantize | approximate (a signal varying continuously in amplitude) by one whose amplitude is restricted to a prescribed set of discrete values. |
