relation between full duplex and baseband transmission

Question

if a link is using baseband transmission for e.g Ethernet....thats means one signal can pass through the link at a time.....that means a baseband transmission can never be full duplex??? can anyone explain what is the relation between baseband transmissions, broadband transmissions, full-duplex and half duplex link?

Answer 1

Baseband transmission is bidirectional and uses digital signal.But in baseband transmission sending and receiving can not be done at same time.So it's half duplex transmission.

Broadband transmission is unidirectional and uses analog signal.2 channels are required-1 for sending and 1 for receiving.Hence it's simplex transmission for 1 channel but 2 wires working together makes it duplex.

Comments

that means ethernet's which are using baseband transmissions for e.g 10baseT cant be full duplex right?

According to cisco,upto 10BaseT it's half duplex.See this forclarification:http://www.learn44.com/what-is-half-duplex-and-full-duplex-ethernet-modes/

thank you got it
