ATIS is the leading technical planning and standards development organization committed to the rapid development of global, market-driven standards for the information, entertainment and communications industry.
A photodiode that operates with a reverse-bias voltage that causes the primary photocurrent to undergo amplification by cumulative multiplication of charge carriers. Note: As the reverse-bias voltage increases toward the breakdown, hole-electron pairs are created by absorbed photons. An avalanche effect occurs when the hole-electron pairs acquire sufficient energy to create additional pairs when the incident photons collide with the ions, i.e., the holes and electrons. Thus, a signal gain is achieved.
Industry:Telecommunications
A photodiode with a large, neutrally doped intrinsic region sandwiched between p-doped and n-doped semiconducting regions. Note: A PIN diode exhibits an increase in its electrical conductivity as a function of the intensity, wavelength, and modulation rate of the incident radiation. Synonym PIN photodiode.
Industry:Telecommunications
A physical connection to the entity being controlled or monitored.
Industry:Telecommunications
A physical device possessed by a user for authentication purposes.
Industry:Telecommunications
A physical entity that contains the service control function, service data function and the service switching/call control functions.
Industry:Telecommunications
A physical entity that contains the service control function, service data function, specialized resource function and service switching/call control functions. The SSF/CCF is closely coupled to the SCF within the SN and is not accessible by other SCFs.
Industry:Telecommunications
A physical entity that implements a service switching function.
Industry:Telecommunications
A physical entity that provides network access for users. It contains the call-control agent function and may include the call-control function.
Industry:Telecommunications
A physical keying material, such as printed key lists, punched or printed key tapes, or programmable, read-only memories (pROM. )
Industry:Telecommunications
A physical layer within a local access and transport area (LATA) at which an inter-LATA carrier establishes itself for the purpose of obtaining LATA access and to which the local exchange carrier provides access services.
