Abbreviations

Can anyone define these abbreviations for me?

ATM in video transmission FFT EPR in radio

Thanks

FFT is Fast Fourier Transform. It is an efficient algorithm to compute the DFT.

For more info about FFTs, you might want to check my series of articles on "Gut-Level Fourier Transforms - Everything You Need, You Got In High School" at www,daqarta.com/author.htm Also a slightly different presentation of the same material at

Hope this helps!

You've already got ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) and FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) from other posts. EPR in radio means Experimental Packet Radio. Google is your friend. Look up these acronyms followed by the words spelled out, and enjoy.

Good luck Chris

Radio.

spelled

I have to wonder, though, if that was a typo and was SUPPOSED to be ERP, for Effective Radiated Power...

And there lies the problem with acronyms. In film to video, EPR is Electronic Pin Regisration. Seems every field just has to have a way to exclude people by using jargon. You sure that isn't an Automatic Teller Machine or maybe an Anti Transistor Moron, you know the guy with the toobz? GG

A quick way to look up stuff:

Doesn't always work well:

Well, we know it's not the box they get cash out of - that's an automatic teller machine machine. ;-)

No it's not, it's a 'cash machine' :)

It's those bleedin' colonials with their ATMs, VCRs and SUVs that are causing all this trouble... ;-)
