The Final Roar Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For my Roar finale, I'm reading Rock This! Its a book by famous comedian Chris Rock about his views on certain ideas and issues in America. Its was written in 1997, so its a little out dated but some things still apply to our current day and age. This is by far the funniest Roar book I've read. In fact, its the funniest book I've read period.

New Book

My new roar book is one of a series. Its belongs to the Alex Rider series of books written by Anthony Horowitz. Its called Point Blank and is the second book, the first being Stormbreaker which was made into a movie in 2006.

The book starts off with billionaire Michael J. Roscoe being mysteriously killed by killed by an assassin disguised as an elevator repair man. So far the book is good. Fiction is my favorite genre and the only one I really enjoy reading. I liked the Stormbreaker movie so hopefully I'll like this book too.

Well, until my next entry,

Dueces.

1-The same hardware is required for all types of wireless technology.

2-The hardware must take an electrical signal, put it on a carrier wave, and convert it into an RF signal.

3-The signal is converted back into an electrical signal, separated from the carrier wave ant interpreted in some way.

4-This process is done using a transmitter, an antenna, and a receiver.

5-Each piece of hardware is used to complete a certain part of the process.



questions

1-What happens if one of the objects are missing?

2-Are there devices that carry out two functions?

3-Does an antenna's size affect its strength?

4-



words

1-Transceiver-a device that includes both a transmitter and a receiver.

2-Transmitter-a device that sends RF siganls carrying information.

3-Receiver-a device that receives info from an antenna and processes the info so that it can be used in some way.

2-All info is transmitted as analog or digital.

3-Waves are analog because they are continuous.

4-Digital data piggybacks on analog waves to be transmitted.

5-Data is now mostly sent in digital format.

Questions

1-Why does digital data have to piggyback on analog data?

2-Why is data more commonly sent on digital waves now?

3-What causes analog data to turn into digital data?

4-Why must data be processed before being sent?

Words

1- Analog data-information represented as a continuous wave in which there can be infinite variations between two points.

2-Digital Data- Data represented as bits that are either on or off.

3-Noise-electromagnetic radiation.

Summary
