Signalpegelprobleme
Signalpegelprobleme, often translated as signal level problems, refers to issues arising from the strength of an electrical or optical signal deviating from its optimal range. This can occur in various transmission systems, including telecommunications, broadcasting, and audio/video equipment. Too low a signal level, known as attenuation, can lead to data loss, increased noise, and poor reception or playback quality. This might manifest as static on a radio, pixelation on a TV screen, or dropped calls on a mobile phone. Conversely, a signal level that is too high, often referred to as clipping or saturation, can also distort the signal, rendering it unusable. This can occur when amplifiers are overdriven or when a signal is too close to the transmitter.
Diagnosing signalpegelprobleme typically involves using specialized measurement equipment like signal level meters or oscilloscopes to quantify
