English term or phrase:crosstalk
Definition from Javvin Technologies, Inc.: Crosstalk is a type of Interference from an adjacent channel or wire, which is caused by electromagnetic interference, along a circuit or a cable pair. A telecommunication signal disrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can cause the signals to become confused and cross over each other.
Example sentence(s):
Crosstalk originating from multiple high-speed data services in the same telephone bundle is a limiting factor for the maximum bit rate, the loop length and the number of data services that a bundle can support. The Pennsylvania State University
All current crosstalk mitigation techniques require precise knowledge of the crosstalk coupling functions between the twisted pair wires carrying DSL service within a cable binder. Rice Scholarship
Optical bidirectional transmission systems, such as subscriber systems, where two signals are carried over a single fibre are subject to optical crosstalk. This crosstalk causes an unwanted increase of the bit error rate at the receivers in both channels. Institute of Physics and IOP Publishing
(Del gr. διαφωνία, disonancia). 1. f. Transferencia indebida de energía de un circuito de transmisión perturbador a otro denominado perturbado.
Example sentence(s):
Aislamiento eléctrico. Las fibras ópticas son casi completamente inmunes a los campos externos. Ellos no padecen diafonía (cross talk), radiointerferencia, etc. Además no transporta corrientes eléctricas peligrosas. - Universidad Nacional de Colombia
En Telecomunicación, se dice que entre dos circuitos existe diafonía, denominada en inglés Crosstalk (XT), cuando parte de las señales presentes en uno de ellos, considerado perturbador, aparece en el otro, considerado perturbado. - Wikipedia
