Double talk

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001805

A form of speech interference in telecommunications where two or more parties attempt to transmit simultaneously over a shared communication channel. This overlap results in garbled or unintelligible audio, making it difficult for receivers to understand either message. It often occurs in half-duplex systems where only one party should transmit at a time.
