Isochronous
Encyclopedia : I : IS : ISO : Isochronous
Isochronous means having an equal time difference or occurring simultaneously. For example, a pendulum's oscilliation is isochronous, regardless of amplitude. If a diagram is drawn, 'contour' lines connecting periods of equal time difference are called isochrones.
In telecommunication, the term isochronous has the following meanings:
- Of a periodic signal, pertaining to transmission in which the time interval separating any two corresponding transitions is equal to the unit interval or to a multiple of the unit interval.
- Pertaining to data transmission in which corresponding significant instants of two or more sequential signals have a constant phase relationship.
