A wireless access point connects wired devices to a wireless network, allowing them to communicate with wireless clients.

An ADC converts analog signals, which are continuous in nature, into digital signals, which are discrete.

The primary function of an Ex-NOR gate is to compare two binary values and output true (1) if they are equal.

Inductors store electrical energy in a magnetic field when current flows through them.

The primary function of an operational amplifier (op-amp) is to amplify voltage signals.

An XOR gate outputs true (1) if the inputs are different.

Error control in WANs is primarily focused on ensuring data integrity during transmission by detecting and correcting errors.

OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) is used in data warehousing to support complex queries and data analysis.

RAM (Random Access Memory) provides temporary storage for data that is actively being used or processed by the CPU.

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is responsible for executing instructions and processing data in a computer.

The primary function of the Transport layer is to provide reliable or unreliable delivery of data, depending on the protocol used.
