Terminology: "decided signal"

Hello,

Could someone briefly explain what a "decided signal" is? Is it, f. i., similar to a "selected signal"?

TIA and have a great day. Eiffel

After a little looking around, I found this term in a Sony glossary, where the real context should apparently be 'deterministic signal'.

See

A deterministic signal is used in communications systems (by adding it at the transmitter) to permit the receiver to lock to the original

*information* signal. There are wide varieties of how this is done. Note that deterministic signal energy is 'wasted' in terms of communications systems - i.e. the system power efficiency is transmitted *information* power / total transmitted power.

I am sure many here could elaborate on deterministic signals (I don't have a huge amount of time right now).

Cheers

PeteS

I didn't either but it can be googled.

Thanks, Eiffel

Perhaps it\'s a typo? "decoded"?
