Refers to data transmission that is the same speed both upstream and downstream Contrast with asymmetric
A data connection is symmetric when upstream and downstream transmission speeds are approximately the same
A term used to explain the normal, rhythmic ac flow of current (transient or dc component = ); the steady state component of any current or fault current calculation
A real matrix is symmetric if it equals its transpose The eigenvalues of such a matrix are real
A characteristic of a sample or population which looks the same to the right of the peak as it looks to the left of the peak
For an FIR filter, it is symmetric if h[n] = h[n1 + n0 n] where n1 is the position of the last filter coefficient and n0 is the position of the first For causal filters this reduces to h[n] = h[N - n] where N + 1 is the total number of taps
Of a relation R on a set S, such that xRy if and only if yRx for all members x and y of S (that is, if the relation holds between any element and a second, it also holds between the second and the first)
Refers to data transmission that is the same speed both upstream and downstream Contrast with asymmetric Related terms: Asymmetric, Data, Downstream, Upstream
A symmetric distribution has the same shape on each side of the median The normal distribution is an example of a symmetric distribution Compare skewed
