Preface
Abbreviations are the important part of any scientic language of modern
life. In recent decades, all branches of science have been widely expanded
and many words and terms have been utilized to express their concept.
Many of them are compound phrases and high-frequency terms, and if we
use them as they are, our speech and writing becomes very lengthy and
boring. That is why people prefer the short forms (abbreviations) for
frequently used compound phrases.
The main objective of technical abbreviations is to save time and
decrease speech and writing to facilitate engineers communication.
The other intention is the explicitness, uency, and beauty of our speech
and writing. Any method, which can help us to achieve these goals, is
acceptable. Abbreviations contribute to faster writing, reading, speaking,
and better understanding of technical and scientic articles, reports, and
lectures. They can save time and money by reducing the time and cost of
writing, typing, editing, and composition resetting costs. They also reduce
the space required for texts, tables, and diagrams. Therefore, they are very
good tools to enhance any live and dynamic language.
The words of the English and other European languages comprise a few
special characters implying distinct technical meanings, such as l for
wavelength or 4 for phase. In these languages, abbreviations play a
similar role, but each of them implies the meaning of a phrase instead
of a word. Thus, they can be considered as the elements of that language
and are treated like the original words. Sometimes, the short form of a
phrase is more common than that of its original form because they are very
proper and effective tools for communication. In most languages,
especially in English, coining abbreviations is a common practice and
most of the high-frequency compound terms are used in short forms.
For this reason, the abbreviations of a language are considered as a
language within that language, and from the socio-linguistic point
viii
&
of view, they are comparable with a dialect. Therefore, utilization of

abbreviations is inevitable and it is a wise decision to take action for their
standardization.
Without standard rules and principles, there will be many debates
and discussions about writing style, when engineers are writing
their manuscripts. To avoid these debates, it is recommended that
writing principles and rules are formulated and standardized. With this
in mind, I have followed the principles and rules adopted by John
Markus, the composer of Electronics Dictionary as described in the
fourth edition and recommend them to be standardized for international
application.
This book is entitled as Comprehensive Glossary of Telecom
Abbreviations, but since each branch of science listed below are
somehow interrelated and intermingled with telecommunications engineering, I have also included the abbreviations of those branches. The
abbreviations listed in this work have been compiled over years from
intensive study of various resources. A glossary of abbreviations is a
growing work and will never be perfect and fully comprehensive.
Despite this, I have tried all my best to include a collection of over
16,200 entries from almost all the elds of telecommunications, satellite
communications, electronics, computer, Internet, broadcasting, ber
optics, information technology (IT), ICT, live Internet chat, e-learning,
e-commerce, remote sensing, cellular networks, avionics, Ham radio,
radar, and military communications terms to satisfy the needs of
engineers, technical writers, technicians, and university students.
Particular attention is paid to the abbreviations used in ITU, IMO,
Intelsat, Inmarsat, and APSCC documents. Telecommunication magazines
are not forgotten and many titles and volumes have been searched. You
may also nd many abbreviations used in contracts and nancial
documents. The most famous telecom companies and operators are
included. A larger number of abbreviations made and used by the
specialized institutions and standard organizations such as IEEE, ETSI,
IETF, and ISO are also included. New technologies and systems such as
ISDN, ATM, TMN, SONET, SDH, DECT, and Bluetooth are of special
importance in this glossary.
All entries are listed in alphabetical order. Where two or more entries
differ only in capitalization or punctuation, the forms comprised of
uppercased (capital) letters will follow the lowercased forms, and
those having dots, slashes, or spaces precede the capital forms. Entries
commencing with numbers are collected before all others. Where more
than one phrase stand for a given abbreviation, both or all phrases are
mentioned and marked by numbers. Entries of Greek symbols or letters
are also alphabetized as if they were spelt out. Following the phrases,
the relevant eld of each entry has also been shown in parentheses or
&
ix
brackets to clarify or limit the usage eld. If an entry does not fall into a
specic category, the name of the company which coined that abbreviation is mentioned in parentheses.

Introduction
STRUCTURE OF ABBREVIATIONS
Abbreviation, in its simplest denition, is a shortened form of a word or
phrase used mostly in writing to imply and represent the complete form of
that word or phrase. There are many ways to build abbreviations for words
or phrases which fall into eight main categories as follows.
1. Acronyms: The pronounceable abbreviations coined from the combination of the rst letters of each successive words of a compound term or
phrase, as in radar, laser, maser, and sonar. The most common acronyms
are normally written in lowercase letters and pronounced in the same way
as the ordinary words. They may be either initially capitalized or set in all
capitals in titles and headings.
2. Initials: A category of abbreviations in which the rst letters of a series
of words are selected and spelt out letter by letter but are not separated by
dots, as in ISDN, CDMA, and DWDM.
3. Blendings: Another category of abbreviations in which the rst
syllables of two or three words are combined and pronounced as an
ordinary word, such as codec for coderdecoder, modem for modulatordemodulator, and Inmarsat for International maritime satellite
Organization. Other forms of blendings are made of the rst syllable of
the rst word and the last syllable of the second word, such as netiquette,
which stands for network-etiquette and webinar standing for Web-based
seminar.
4. Clippings: A category of abbreviations in which some of the letters or
sounds of a word are omitted and the key letters are combined, e.g., Bldg
for building and MUX for multiplexer.
5. Truncations: A category of abbreviations in which a word is simply
shortened by cutting off the rst or last syllable, such as phone for
telephone, amp for amplier, and Fig for gure. For building such short
forms, it is recommended to select at least three letters of the word.
xiv
&
6. Contractions: A category of abbreviations in which the rst and last

letters of a word is selected, such as Mr for Mister and Dr for Doctor.
7. Symbols: Single letters generally used to represent an element, a
quality, a physical or numerical quantity, often appended with subscripts
or superscripts to qualify their meaning, such as C for Capacitor and R for
Resistor. Symbols may not be related to the words that they represent.
Examples are C for speed of light in a vacuum, G for electrical conductance,
H for magnetic eld strength, and L for inductance or an inductor.
8. Signs: A category of abbreviations which are printed or written gures
(mostly Greek letters) each one conventionally stands for a word, phrase, or
mathematical operation, e.g., U for ohm, F for phase, m for micro, l for
wavelength, and 8 for degree.
RULES FOLLOWED IN THIS GLOSSARY
(Courtesy of John Markus and McGrawHill)
Part A: Rules for abbreviations
1. All the abbreviations formed from rst letters of key words in a phrase
are uppercased (capital) letters, except the units of measures which conform
to the French SI units of measure adopted by the American National
Standards Institute. There is another exception for the soundalike words,
such as laser, maser, and radar, which are lowercased.
2. Abbreviations of phrases are generally pronounced letter by letter, but
this is not a requirement for capitalizing. Thus, FET can be pronounced
either letter by letter or as a word. Long abbreviations such as JFET and
MOSFET are usually pronounced partially or entirely as words.
3. A Hyphen (-) is seldom used in abbreviations. When used, it will
generally have one of the meanings represented by the slash. Thus, in
A/D-D/A the hyphen stands for or, but in P-P it stands for -to-.
4. A hyphen should be used after an abbreviation when it is combined
with another word to form a compound adjective, such as JPEG-formatted
picture.
5. A hyphen should be used before an abbreviation when it is combined
with another word to form a compound adjective, such as BroadbandISDN.
6. For plural forms of capital-letter abbreviations, especially the acronyms
and blendings, regardless of whether in text or headings, same as the
ordinary words, simply add a lowercase s, e.g., ICs, VSATs, FETs, RAMs,
LEDs, SCRs, MICs, and PCBs. Same rule applies to plurals of numbers,
e.g., 0s and 1s.
7. Use an apostrophe with the plurals of lowercase letters, as in programming has two ms.
8. Use an apostrophe for the possessive form of a capital-letter abbreviation, as in the SCRs heat sink.
&
xv
9. Use a space between a number and its abbreviated unit of measure in

noun phrases, such as 5 kU and 100 VAR.
10. Use a numerical exponent to indicate repetition of a letter in
abbreviations for logic terms, such as T2L which stands for TTL.
11. A slash (/) generally means -to-, such as S/N (signal-to-noise). It will
also have the meaning of per when it is used with letter symbols, such as
kHz/s which stands for kilo Hertz per second.
12. Although the names of programming languages are acronyms and
therefore are pronounced as words, it is now a common usage to type or
print them in capital letters, e.g., ALGOL, COBOL, BASIC, and FORTRAN.
13. Do not italicize R, L, and C where they represent resistance or resistor,
inductance or coil, and capacitance or capacitor, respectively. When R, L,
and C are used in combination, run the letters together without hyphens, as
in RC coupling and RLC circuit. Italicize these letters only in mathematical
equations where they represent values of resistance, inductance, and
capacitance, respectively, and in expressions like LC product, L /C ratio,
and RC constant.
Part B: Rules for SI Units of measure
1. When a letter symbol in SI system of units is derived from the name of a
pioneer in the eld, capitalize the letter that represents the rst letter of the
surname, such as mF which stands for microfarad.
2. Standard prexes are used in lowercase letters as multipliers with the SI
letter symbols. Note that only six largest prexes have capital letters for their
symbols, e.g., M for mega-, G for giga-, T for tera-, P for peta-, Y for yotta-,
and Z for zetta-.
3. Letter symbols always represent both singular and plural forms of units
of measure. Never add a lowercase s for plural because it represents
seconds in the SI system of units.
4. Use an exponent after a length symbol to change it to an area or volume
symbol. (The abbreviations sq for square and cu for cubic are used with SI
units.) Pronunciation is unchanged; thus, in2 is pronounced square inches
and in3 is pronounced cubic inches.
5. Use a space between a number and its abbreviated unit of measure in
noun phrases.
6. Use a hyphen (-) between a number and its abbreviated unit of measure
in compound adjectives, such as a 20-kHz signal.
7. Use a hyphen between two numbers that are the upper and lower limits
of a range. In this case, the meaning of hyphen is up to and including.
8. Do not use a letter symbol without a numerical value. Spell out units of
measure whenever they are used with words that represent approximations.
