Coaxial Cable : Coaxial Cable (Coax) is a type of electrical
communications medium used in the LAN environment.
This cable consists of an outer conductor concentric to
an inner conductor, separated from each other by
insulating material, and covered by some protective
outer material. This medium offers large bandwidth,
supporting high data rates with high immunity to
electrical interference and a low incidence of errors.
Coax is subject to distance limitations and is relatively
expensive and difficult to install.
Configuration
Commands : Configuration Commands are commands that are
issued to an instrument and that change a specific
instrument configuration.
COW : Cell site On Wheels (COW) is a mobile site placed at a
location to fill in or increase coverage.
CPLT : Cell Site on Light Truck (CPLT) is a mobile site on a
vehicle placed at a location to fill in or increase
coverage.
CPM : Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM) is a phase
modulation technique employing smooth transitions
between signal states. This reduces sidelobe spectral
energy and improves co-channel performance.
CW : Continuous Wave (CW)
