DATA COMMUNICATION Lecture-11
Recap of Lecture 10 The OSI Model Functions of OSI Layers TCP/IP Protocol Suite
Overview of Lecture 11 Signals Analog and Digital Analog and Digital Data & Signals Periodic & Aperiodic Signals
Signals Generally, the information is not in a form that can be transmitted over a Link The binary digits must be converted into a form that Transmission Medium can accept The data stream of 1s and 0s must be turned into Signals
Analog ANALOG CONTINUOUS Refers to something that is Continuous CONTINUOUS A set of specific points of data and all possible points between them
Digital DIGITAL DISCRETE Refers to something that is Discrete DISCRETE A set of specific points of data with no points in between
Analog and Digital Data Analog Data Human Voice Digital Data Data stored in the memory of a computer
Analog and Digital Signals
Periodic and Aperiodic Signals (Analog or Digital) Aperiodic
Periodic Signals A signal is called Periodic if it completes a pattern within a measurable time frame called a Period and then repeats that pattern over identical subsequent Periods
Periodic Signal Example
Aperiodic Signals An Aperiodic or Non-Periodic signal is the one that changes constantly without exhibiting a pattern or cycle that repeats over time
Aperiodic Signals
Analog Signals Analog signals can be classified into: Simple Analog Signal (Sine wave) Composite Analog Signal
Simple Analog Signal (Sine Wave)
Simple Analog Signal (Sine Wave) Sine waves can be fully described: Amplitude Period / Frequency Phase
Amplitude
Period and Frequency T= 1 / f OR f=1 / T
Units of Period & Frequency Seconds____Hertz Milliseconds____Kilohertz Microseconds____Megahertz Nanoseconds____Gigahertz Picoseconds____Terahertz
