Parallel Transmission
Parallel Transmission is a method of sending multiple bits of data simultaneously over multiple channels or wires. This approach allows for faster data transfer rates compared to serial transmission, where bits are sent one after another. Each bit travels on its own dedicated path, making it efficient for applications that require high-speed communication.
In computer networks and digital communication, parallel transmission is commonly used in connections like computer buses and printer interfaces. However, it can be limited by factors such as signal degradation and electromagnetic interference, especially over long distances, which makes it less suitable for some applications compared to serial transmission.
