Inclination
Inclination is the angle between an orbital plane and a reference plane, commonly used to describe satellite orbit geometry.
Concept/Framework
Industrial Ethernet
Industrial Ethernet is Ethernet adapted for industrial automation environments. It uses Ethernet as the base transport while supporting operational requirements such as reliability, timing, and device integration.
Protocol
Inter Satellite Link
An Inter Satellite Link is a communication path used for data exchange between satellites, enabling spacecraft to relay information directly in orbit.
Hardware
Interference
Interference is any undesired electromagnetic signal or emission that reduces the performance of a receiver or sensing system. It may be caused by co-channel overlap, adjacent-channel leakage, harmonic content, intermodulation,…
Concept/Framework
Interference Margin
Interference Margin is the headroom a communication link has before interference degrades service below acceptable levels. It is a planning measure used to assess resilience.
Operations
Intermodulation Distortion
Intermodulation Distortion is unwanted signal products created when nonlinear components mix multiple frequencies and generate additional spurious tones.
Hardware
Internet Routing
Internet routing is the distributed routing process that advertises, exchanges, and selects reachability information across the internet. It is the mechanism that allows traffic to cross administrative boundaries and reach…
Concept/Framework
IP
IP is the Internet Protocol, a network-layer protocol used to address and route packets across interconnected networks. It provides logical delivery between hosts.
Protocol
IP Address
An IP Address is a logical address assigned to a network interface in an IP network. It is used for packet routing and reachability between hosts.
Protocol
IS-IS
IS-IS is an Interior Gateway Protocol that uses link-state information flooding to enable routers within a routing domain to build a shared topology map and compute shortest or best internal…
