Frequency-change signaling
Appearance
In telecommunication, a frequency-change signaling is a signaling method in which one or more discrete frequencies correspond to each desired significant condition of a code.
Note 1: The transition from one set of frequencies to the other may be a continuous or a discontinuous change in frequency or in phase.
Note 2: Frequency-change signaling may be used in both supervisory signaling and data transmission.
