What is Data transmission?
[[File:Amfm3-en-de.gif|thumb|252x252px|Wireless data transmission]] '''Data transmission''' is the process of transferring data from one point to another.<ref>{{Harvard citation|Peter|2018|p=194}}</ref> There are two methods for transmitting data: [[Serial communication]] and [[Parallel communication]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Data Transmission - Parallel vs Serial Transmission|url=https://www.quantil.com/content-delivery-insights/content-acceleration/data-transmission/#:~:text=There%20are%20two%20methods%20used,same%20time%20over%20multiple%20channels.|access-date=2022-02-05|website=www.quantil.com}}</ref> There are different types of devices for data transmission: [[Wireless]], [[Optical fiber]], [[Infrared]] and more.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-01-09|title=The Different Types of Wireless Communication|url=https://www.rantecantennas.com/blog/the-different-types-of-wireless-communication/|access-date=2022-02-05|website=Rantec Microwave Systems|language=en-US}}</ref> '''Simplex data transmission''' is in one direction only (i.e. from sender to receiver). Example: data being sent from a computer to a printer. '''HALF· DUPLEX DATA TRANSMISSION''' is in both directions but not at the same time (i.e. data can be sent from 'A' to 'B' or from 'B' to 'A' along the same line, but not at the same time). Example: a phone [[conversation]] between two people where only one person speaks at a time . '''FULL·DUPLEX DATA TRANSMISSION''' is in both direction simultaneously (i.e. data can be sent from 'A' to ' B' and from 'B' to 'A' along the same line, both at the same time). Example: broadband connection on a phone line. == References == <references /> === Sources === * {{Cite book|title=Advances in Big Data and Cloud Computing: Proceedings of ICBDCC18|last1=Peter|first1=J.
