3.13: Electrical Impedance Matching and Termination<br />

When computer systems were first introduced decades ago, they were large,<br />

slow-working devices that were incompatible with each other. Today, national<br />

and international networking standards have established electronic control<br />

protocols that enable different systems to "talk" to each other. The Electronics<br />

Industries Associations (EIA) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics<br />

Engineers (IEEE) developed standards that established common terminology<br />

and interface requirements, such as EIA RS-232 and IEEE 802.3. If a system<br />

designer builds equipment to comply with these standards, the equipment will<br />

interface with other systems. But what about analog signals that are used in<br />

ultrasonics?
