A port in the Forwarding state actively forwards traffic to and from the network.

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology allows multiple devices to connect to a single wireless access point by using multiple antennas to send and receive more data simultaneously.

A repeater is used to extend the range of a wireless network by receiving and retransmitting the wireless signal.

An IP address is used to identify a device on a network, while a MAC address identifies a device at the data link layer.

Ceramic capacitors are preferred for high-frequency applications due to their low inductance.

A binary to Gray code converter is specifically designed to convert binary numbers into their corresponding Gray code.

A binary to Gray code converter produces a code that minimizes errors in digital communication by changing only one bit at a time.

Silicon steel is commonly used as the core material in transformers due to its magnetic properties.

A Johnson counter is a type of ring counter that uses inverted feedback.

An Up/Down counter can count both upwards and downwards based on control signals.

A BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) is a current-controlled device.

MOSFETs are widely used in switching applications due to their high efficiency and fast switching speeds.

Air core inductors are commonly used in RF applications due to their low losses.

OSPF uses a hierarchical network topology, which allows for efficient routing and management of large networks through the use of areas.

A half-wave rectifier allows current to flow only during one half of the AC cycle, blocking the other half.

A half-wave rectifier allows current to flow in only one direction, blocking the reverse current.

Bridge rectifiers are commonly used in power supply circuits for semiconductor memory as they provide full-wave rectification.

All types of rectifiers can be used in series-parallel circuits depending on the application requirements.

Controlled rectifiers utilize thyristors to control the output voltage and current.

A full-wave rectifier utilizes both halves of the AC waveform to produce a smoother DC output.

A full-wave rectifier utilizes both halves of the AC waveform, allowing for more efficient conversion to DC compared to a half-wave rectifier.

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) is classified as a hybrid routing protocol because it combines features of both distance vector and link state protocols.

A thermocouple generates a voltage that is proportional to the temperature difference between its junctions.

A thermistor is a type of temperature sensor that changes resistance with temperature variations.

A Bidirectional Shift Register allows data to be shifted in both left and right directions.

A left shift register shifts data to the left, moving bits towards the higher order.

Digital circuits use digital signals, which represent data in binary form (0s and 1s).
