Signals, channels and systems
What is a signal? Baseband signal Modulation Bandwidth Transmission/reception What is a channel? Noise Loss? What is a communication system? 11/7/2018 CSE 4215, Winter 2010

G. Krüger E. Dorner / Dr. J. Schiller 8
9
Frequency domain Fundamental frequency - when all frequency components of a signal are integer multiples of one frequency, it’s referred to as the fundamental frequency Spectrum - range of frequencies that a signal contains Absolute bandwidth - width of the spectrum of a signal Effective bandwidth (or just bandwidth) - narrow band of frequencies that most of the signal’s energy is contained in 11/7/2018 CSE 4215, Winter 2010
10
Transmitting rectangular signals
Observations Any digital waveform will have infinite bandwidth BUT the transmission system will limit the bandwidth that can be transmitted AND, for any given medium, the greater the bandwidth transmitted, the greater the cost HOWEVER, limiting the bandwidth creates distortions 11/7/2018 CSE 4215, Winter 2010
11
Bit rates, channel capacity
Impairments, such as noise, limit data rate that can be achieved For digital data, to what extent do impairments limit data rate? Channel Capacity – the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a given communication path, or channel, under given conditions 11/7/2018 CSE 4215, Winter 2010
12
Nyquist Bandwidth For binary signals (two voltage levels)
C = 2B With multilevel signaling C = 2B log2 M M = number of discrete signal or voltage levels 11/7/2018 CSE 4215, Winter 2010
13
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Ratio of the power in a signal to the power contained in the noise that’s present at a particular point in the transmission Typically measured at a receiver Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR, or S/N) A high SNR means a high-quality signal, low number of required intermediate repeaters SNR sets upper bound on achievable data rate 11/7/2018 CSE 4215, Winter 2010
14
Shannon Capacity Formula
Equation: Represents theoretical maximum that can be achieved In practice, only much lower rates achieved Formula assumes white noise (thermal noise) Impulse noise is not accounted for Attenuation distortion or delay distortion not accounted for 11/7/2018 CSE 4215, Winter 2010
