Signal Attenuation and Transmission Media in Communication Systems
Attenuation of Course (I)
Fundamental physical limitation. Depends on:
- Distance and frequency of the transceiver
The signal loss due to distance is exponential, not linear. To establish a linear relationship between losses and gains, we change the unit to decibels (dB), allowing us to add them.
The parameters that influence attenuation are:
- d (distance between transmitter and receiver)
- λ (wavelength)
The wavelength depends on:
- c (speed of transmission channel – air: 300,000 km/s)
- f (frequency of transmission)
Force, Structures, and Mechanisms in Physics
Force, Structures, and Mechanisms
Force
Force is anything that can deform a body or alter its state of motion or rest.
Structures
Structures are elements within a body that support the effects of forces, preventing deformation or breakage. There are two types:
- Natural Structures: Those not involving human intervention.
- Artificial Structures: Created by humans.
Loads
Loads are the forces acting on a structure. There are two types:
- Permanent Loads: Do not change over time.
- Variable Loads: Do not maintain
ICT Network Infrastructure: Design, Implementation, and Components
1. ICT Network Structure and Stages
The stages defined within a common communications infrastructure are:
Line Power: External pipes entering the building route cables to the main registration (RITI/RITS). Services include conventional telephony, digitized services, and cable services. Radio access uses a reserved space on the building’s top (RITS).
Distribution Network: Includes main water network, multi-pair cables, records, and other items connecting the main register to the network spread. Responsibility

Item 15: Turning
Introduction to Turning
Turning is a machining operation that shapes rotating workpieces using a cutting tool. Lathes are machine tools designed for turning operations. These machines mount cutting tools, often referred to as knives, to perform various turning processes.
Types of Lathes
Lathes are categorized based on their technical characteristics and the type of work they perform:
- Parallel Lathes: Used for horizontally placed workpieces.
- Vertical Lathes: Designed for heavy and difficult-
Sensor Types: Temperature, Pressure, Flow, Weight, and pH
Sensor Types and Their Applications
Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors are essential for various applications. Common types include:
- Bulb
- RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors)
- Thermistors
- Thermocouples
RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors)
Measurement Principle: Based on the change in electrical conductivity of metals with temperature variations.
- Platinum: -200°C to 900°C (Accuracy: ±0.01°C)
- Nickel: -150°C to 120°C (Accuracy: ±0.5°C)
- Copper: -200°C to 120°C (Accuracy: ±0.1°C)

Recognizing and Resolving Hard Drive Issues
Once IDE or SATA devices are installed, verify system recognition in the BIOS. For IDE drives, check master/slave jumpers and connections to the motherboard and power supply if not detected. If issues persist, test with a new data cable or consider a defective hard drive, possibly with a damaged motor shaft. CD/DVD drives rarely cause problems; if installed correctly, they should work, otherwise, they might be damaged. Repairing failures often costs more
