dualdirectional

Dualdirectional is an adjective used in engineering and technology to describe systems, components, or signals capable of two-way operation in opposite directions. In practice, it implies that data, energy, or control signals can be transmitted and received across a single device or medium, either simultaneously or in rapid alternation, enabling bidirectional interaction.

In networking and telecommunications, dualdirectional functionality is common in full-duplex links where the transmit and receive

Implementations include dual-channel transceivers with separate TX and RX circuits, fiber-optic links using duplex wavelengths, and

In practice, design challenges include isolation between directions, crosstalk, latency, and synchronization; standards often refer to
