... patterns of both data and noise: When they clash the patterns combined causing corrupted synchronizations. e.g. The effect at the receiving end is easy to see. The picture often has pixel errors, the extent to which depends on the magnitude of the noise. This experiment hopes to prove this theory by means of a practical experiment. Method The above was the layout of the apparatus used in the experiment. A standard PC was set up and connected to a Rapid Access Terminal (RAT). They were connected using two Multi-way connectors; these were what the images traveled down. The PC was loaded with feedback software which had the appropriate instructions. Connected to the RAT and PC was the PCM & Link Analysis Workboard. This displayed an LED matrix and had the controls for adjusting the noise levels etc. After switching the equipment on, the LED matrix flashed horizontally and vertically. This showed the Workboard was ...
