Acoustically coupled modem In telecommunications, the term acoustic coupler has the following meanings: An interface device for coupling electrical signals by acoustical means--usually into and out of a telephone instrument. ... In telecommunication, antenna noise temperature is the temperature of a hypothetical resistor at the input of an ideal noise-free receiver that would generate the same output noise power per unit bandwidth as that at the antenna output at a specified frequency. ... In electronics, capacitive coupling is the transfer of energy from one circuit to another by means of the mutual capacitance between the circuits. ... Conductive coupling: Energy transfer achieved by means of physical contact, coupling other than inductive or capacitive coupling. ... In telecommunication, a directional coupler is a transmission coupling device for separately sampling (through a known coupling loss) either the forward (incident) or the backward (reflected) wave in a transmission line. ... Equilibrium length: For a specific excitation condition, the length of multimode optical fiber necessary to attain equilibrium mode distribution. ... In electronics, inductive coupling refers to the transfer of energy from one circuit component to another through a shared magnetic field. ...
