Data Transmission: Types And Methods Of Data Transmission: Describe How Data Is Transmitted From One Device To Another Using Different Methods Of Data Transmission (Copy)
| Concept | Data Transmission Methods |
|---|---|
| Definition | Ways data is sent from one device to another |
| Basis | Direction, path, and signal type |
| Goal | Accurate and efficient communication |
| Transmission By Direction | Description |
|---|---|
| Simplex | One-way only |
| Half-Duplex | Both ways, one at a time |
| Full-Duplex | Both ways simultaneously |
| Direction Method | Example |
|---|---|
| Simplex | Keyboard → computer |
| Half-Duplex | Walkie-talkies |
| Full-Duplex | Telephone call |

| Transmission By Path | Description |
|---|---|
| Serial | Bits sent one after another |
| Parallel | Multiple bits sent at the same time |
| Path Method | Key Points |
|---|---|
| Serial | Slower, reliable, long distances |
| Parallel | Faster, short distances, interference risk |
| Examples | Use |
|---|---|
| Serial | USB, data transfer |
| Parallel | Internal CPU data buses |

| How Data Is Sent (Process) | Step |
|---|---|
| 1 | Data converted to binary |
| 2 | Binary transmitted as electrical/light/radio signals |
| 3 | Signals travel via chosen medium |
| 4 | Receiver converts signals back to data |
| Method Comparison | Advantage |
|---|---|
| Serial | Less interference |
| Parallel | Faster transfer |
| Wired | Stable connection |
| Wireless | Mobility |

| Common Examiner Traps | How To Avoid |
|---|---|
| Mixing duplex types | Define direction clearly |
| Confusing serial/parallel | Mention bit flow |
| Ignoring medium | State wired or wireless |
| Vague descriptions | Use examples |
| One-Line Summary | Exam-Perfect Statement |
|---|---|
| Data Transmission | Sending binary data between devices |
| Methods | Simplex, duplex, serial, parallel |
| Medium | Wired or wireless |
