| | Definition: digital milliwatt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | In digital telephony, a test signal consisting of eight 8-bit words corresponding to one cycle of a sinusoidal signal approximately 1 kHz in frequency and one milliwatt, rms, in power. |
 | | A continuous signal of arbitrary length, i.e., an indefinite number of cycles, may be realized by continually reading out and concatenating the stored information into a data stream to be converted into analog form. |
 | | It has the advantage of being tied in frequency and amplitude to the relatively stable digital clock signal and power (voltage) supply, respectively, that are used by the digital channel bank. |
