Displacement of signal transitions resulting from the persistence of transients caused by preceding transitions.

In teletypewriter transmission systems, repetitive displacement or disruption peculiar to specific portions of a teletypewriter signal; the two types of characteristic distortions are line and equipment.

Puzzling atmospheric bursts spark interest by Monastersky, R. / Science News The physical layer is based on YitraneIUs IT800 using DCSK modulation technique that has been especially designed to cope with the characteristic distortion phenomena of distribution powerlines.
