IEEE Standard for Information technology-Telecommunications
and information exchange between systems-Local and metropolitan area networks
- Specific requirements Part 3: Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Detection (CSMA/CD) Access Method and Physical Layer Specifications
(Preorder/Coming Soon)
802.3-2005
This standard provides for two distinct modes of operation: half duplex
and full duplex. A given IEEE 802.3 instantiation operates in either half
or full duplex mode at any one time. The term “CSMA/CD MAC”
is used throughout this standard synonymously with “802.3 MAC,”
and may represent an instance of either a half duplex or full duplex mode
data terminal equipment (DTE), even though full duplex mode DTEs do not
implement the CSMA/CD algorithms traditionally used to arbitrate access
to shared-media LANs.

IEEE Standard for System Verilog: Unified Hardware
Design, Specification and Verification Language
1800 - 2005
Standard Test Interface Language (STIL) provides an interface between
digital test generation tools and test equipment. Extensions to the test
interface language (contained in this standard) are defined that (1) facilitate
the use of the language in the design environment and (2) facilitate the
use of the language for large designs encompassing subdesigns with reusable
patterns.

IEEE Guide for the Application of Surge Protectors
Used in Low-Voltage (Equal to or Less than 1000 V, rms, or 1200 V, DC)
Data, Communications, and Signaling Circuits
C62.43-2005
This guide provides assistance in selecting the most appropriate type
of surge protector for a particular data, communication, and/or signaling
circuit application. The purpose of this guide is to enable an understanding
and an evaluation of the functions of the various types of multiple-component
data, communications, and signaling circuit protectors in terms of particular
applications.

The IEEE Wireless Dictionary
Print: http://shop.ieee.org/ieeestore/Product.aspx?product_no=SP1142
(Preorder/Coming Soon)
Wireless technology, like many other technical fields, has its own set
of jargon and acronyms. The IEEE Wireless Dictionary provides clarity
and meaning for the acronyms and jargon used in the wireless industry
with a particular emphasis on commercial systems. Features include:
- Over 250 Terms
- Quick Reference Listing of acronyms and abbreviations
- Pocket-sized for convenience
- Additional Historical Information providing context
for understanding the terms
