TVS, By Ya Bao 5 2. The Electromagnetic Spectrum 2.1 Electromagnetic Waves and Energy wavelength: distance between peaks velocity: speed at which the energy travels through frequency: the number of oscillations or cycles per second (hertz, abbreviated Hz) of the waveform Wavelength: the distance between peaks of the oscillations of the energy wave

TVS, By Ya Bao 6 Wavelength can also be measured as the distance between the negative peaks, zero points,

TVS, By Ya Bao 7 speed of light: The propagation velocity is less in any medium other than vacuum In wire, it is anywhere from 60% to 85% of c a common type of cable used for cable TV has a propagation factor of 75% of c. Example 1 What is the wavelength in vacuum for a frequency of 1 million hertz? Example 2 What is the frequency when the measured wavelength is 6 m?

TVS, By Ya Bao BANDWIDTH AND INFORMATION CAPACITY Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the span of frequencies within the spectrum occupied by a signal and used by the signal for conveying information. To send more information in a short time requires more bandwidth. Example Suppose that a communications link is using a transmitter of 10 W power, and there is 1 W of noise power in the same link. The available bandwidth is 1 kHz. What is the channel capacity?

TVS, By Ya Bao SIMPLEX, DUPLEX, AND HALF ‑ DUPLEX SYSTEMS SIMPLEX: one direction only DUPLEX: both directions at a time HALF ‑ DUPLEX: either direction, but only one direction at a time
