In practice a technique called vestigial sideband is used to reduce the channel spacing, which would be at least twice the video bandwidth if pure AM was used.

Signal reception is invariably done via a superheterodyne receiver: the first stage is a tuner which selects a television channel and frequency-shifts it to a fixed intermediate frequency ( IF ).

The demand for complex ANSI and ASCII screens and larger file transfers taxed available channel capacity, which in turn propelled demand for faster modems.

The 3 dB bandwidth of an electronic filter or communication channel is the part of the system's frequency response that lies within 3 dB of the response at its peak, which in the passband filter case is typically at or near its center frequency, and in the lowpass filter is near 0 hertz.

Benzodiazepines share a similar chemical structure, and their effects in humans are mainly produced by the allosteric modification of a specific kind of neurotransmitter receptor, the GABA < sub > A </ sub > receptor, which increases the conductance of this inhibitory channel ; this results in the various therapeutic effects as well as adverse effects of benzodiazepines.

# A channel, to which signals are adapted for transmission

Communication is usually described along a few major dimensions: Message ( what type of things are communicated ), source / emisor / sender / encoder ( by whom ), form ( in which form ), channel ( through which medium ), destination / receiver / target / decoder ( to whom ), and Receiver.

Wetlands are difficult areas upon which to build housing estates, so dredging part of the wetland down to a navigable channel provides fill to build up another part of the wetland above the flood level for houses.

Examples are, pronounced with the lips ;, pronounced with the front of the tongue ;, pronounced with the back of the tongue ;, pronounced in the throat ; and, pronounced by forcing air through a narrow channel ( fricatives ); and and, which have air flowing through the nose ( nasals ).

The name evidently later came to be used for the estuary's main channel.

User timestamping is often used to detect these kinds of attacks in a fashion similar to channel timestamping, with the user who selected that nickname later being kicked from the server.

Minus one cassettes for normal stereo systems also became popular later on where vocals would be on the left channel, accompaniment on the right and vocals could be turned down by adjusting the left channel volume.

Then, two weeks later, a structure based on cryo-electron microscopy was published, which depicts the ribosome at 11 – 15 Å resolution in the act of passing a newly synthesized protein strand into the protein-conducting channel.

In folklore, and now later in fiction, the metal is said to do many things, from channel magic, to stopping evil ( including warding off or harming vampires and werewolves ), making magic mirrors, to turning water into a Healing Potion ...

The first commercial networks in Australia involved commercial stations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and later Perth, sharing programming, with each network forming networks based on their allocated channel numbers: TCN-9 Sydney, GTV-9 Melbourne, QTQ-9 Brisbane, NWS-9 Adelaide and STW-9 Perth together formed the Nine Network, while their equivalents on VHF channels 7 and 10 formed the Seven Network and Network Ten respectively.

In the less common depletion mode MOSFET, described further later on, the channel consists of carriers in a surface impurity layer of opposite type to the substrate, and conductivity is decreased by application of a field that depletes carriers from this surface layer.

The gate is separated from the channel by a thin insulating layer, traditionally of silicon dioxide and later of silicon oxynitride.

In later decades, the cost of digital electronics declined to the point that an individual codec per voice channel became commonplace, but by then the other advantages of digital transmission had become entrenched.

The later D3 and D4 channel banks had an extended frame format, allowing eight bits per sample, reduced to seven every sixth sample or frame when one bit was " robbed " for signaling the state of the channel.

Having this hindsight, some ten years later, CEPT chose eight bits for framing the European E1, although as feared the extra channel is sometimes appropriated for voice or data.

On his third visit, he was accompanied by a young Captain by the name of Francis Drake in the Judith, for whom the central channel in the British Virgin Islands would later be named.

This method, later known as Hartley's law, became an important precursor for Shannon's more sophisticated notion of channel capacity.

But such an errorless channel is an idealization, and the result is necessarily less than the Shannon capacity of the noisy channel of bandwidth B, which is the Hartley – Shannon result that followed later.

Reruns of the series later aired on The Disney Channel and later on sister cable channel Toon Disney.

In May 2007, the channel became available for UK viewers to view through the BBC News website through a live stream.

Before cable-ready TV sets became common in the late 1980s, an electronic tuning device called a cable converter box was needed to receive the additional analog cable TV channels and transpose or convert the selected channel to analog radio frequency ( RF ) for viewing on a regular TV set on a single channel, usually VHF channel 3 or 4.
