Question

What is transmission mode ?

Hint:

- Simplex: One way only. - Half-Duplex: Two ways, but one at a time. - Full-Duplex: Two ways, all the time.

Answer 1

Transmission mode refers to the direction of signal flow between two linked devices. It specifies how data is transmitted from a sender to a receiver. There are three main types of transmission modes:

Simplex: Communication is unidirectional, like a one-way street. One device sends, the other only receives. (e.g., keyboard to computer, radio broadcast).
Half-Duplex: Each device can both send and receive, but not at the same time. It's like a walkie-talkie.
Full-Duplex: Both devices can send and receive simultaneously. It's like a telephone conversation.
