The combined term for them is Modem.
modulator and demodulator
modulator-demodulator
The anagram is "modem" (data transfer device: modulator-demodulator).
Modulator/Demodulator.
Modem is an acronym for modulator-demodulator. It is a device which makes communication between computers and other devices possible by converting data to a form which the phone or cable lines can transmit.
Modulating. The word modem comes from Modulator/Demodulator
Modem is a device which modulates and demodulates a signal.
The word "modem" comes from the contracting of the two wordsmodulator, and demodulator.MOdulation DEModulation
The spelling motem is a fan slang term for handsome male (acronym mild on the eyes male).The word sought may be modem (computer data device (acronym for modulator-demodulator).
It comes from the term MOdulator DEModulator.A modem converts a digital signal from a computer into an analog signal, so that can be transferred down a telephone line and then at the other end it is converted back into a digital signal so that it can be sent into the receiving computer. These two processes are known as modulation and demodulation.A modem is a Modulator and Demodulator. It's like a bridge between computer and ordinary telephone lines. Telephone lines only accept analog signals but computers only accept digital (binary) signals so modems help link them.The data is changed to represent 2 audio frequencies. These noises are superimposed onto a phone line audio. This is known as 'modulation'. The incoming signal of course has to be changed back again to binary data, this is known as 'demodulation'.The word modem is shorted for "Modulator-demodulator" referring to it's original use.Modem = MoDem = Modulator + DemodulatorModem is the device that modulates digital signals from Internal Network into analog signals onto analog lines towards ISP & demodulates analog signals into digital signals for use in Internal Network.
It came from MOdulator DEModulator. In its transmit function, it turns digital bits into tones of a frequency which an audio channel can handle (MOdulation), and in its receive function it turns the tones back into digital bits (DEModulation). It is really not an abbreviation nor an acronym, but rather a portmanteau word.
The root word for "combine" is "com-" which means "together" or "with".
