Good Networkin site

kegan5

I'm trying to find a site on the following terms, which explains things in a simple fashion.


Periodic signal
Sine wave
Harmonic
Amplitude and frequency
Phase
Wavelength
Fourier
Bandwidth
Attenuation
Noise : interference caused by things such as weather
Am
Pm
Fm

I tried searching for explanations on google and ask.com but none of the websites returned to me gave me the info I want which is a brief explanation of each term.

Thanks
Kate

you might want to try searching on www.howstuffworks.com might not get you exactly what you want but it should get you going in the right direction hopefully.

good luck.

have you tried the old fashioned way? i.e. grabbing some books in your local library? i know we've all kinda got used to the net being our main port of call, but you can still find lots of interesting and useful stuff in a half decent library.

Go find a copy of Computer Networks by Tannenbaum:

Have a look at the detailed index on that page, he seems to cover most of what you are after. Added to that, it's a great book on all parts of networking, and if I'd bothered to read any of it I'd have done a lot better that 41% in my stupid exam!

Look for Electronic Engineering notes online.

CCNA 1 ver 3 covers all of the concepts you mentioned.

A text book for that module should help you out.
