Chapter 8: Data Communication Fundamentals Business Data Communications, 4e
2
Three Components of Data Communication 8Data 8Analog: Continuous value data (sound, light, temperature) 8Digital: Discrete value (text, integers, symbols) 8Signal 8Analog: Continuously varying electromagnetic wave 8Digital: Series of voltage pulses (square wave) 8Transmission 8Analog: Works the same for analog or digital signals 8Digital: Used only with digital signals
3
Analog Data-->Signal Options 8Analog data to analog signal 8Inexpensive, easy conversion (eg telephone) 8Data may be shifted to a different part of the available spectrum (multiplexing) 8Used in traditional analog telephony 8Analog data to digital signal 8Requires a codec (encoder/decoder) 8Allows use of digital telephony, voice mail
4
Digital Data-->Signal Options 8Digital data to analog signal 8Requires modem (modulator/demodulator) 8Allows use of PSTN to send data 8Necessary when analog transmission is used 8Digital data to digital signal 8Requires CSU/DSU (channel service unit/data service unit) 8Less expensive when large amounts of data are involved 8More reliable because no conversion is involved
5
Transmission Choices 8Analog transmission 8only transmits analog signals, without regard for data content 8attenuation overcome with amplifiers 8signal is not evaluated or regenerated 8Digital transmission 8transmits analog or digital signals 8uses repeaters rather than amplifiers 8switching equipment evaluates and regenerates signal

7
Advantages of Digital Transmission 8The signal is exact 8Signals can be checked for errors 8Noise/interference are easily filtered out 8A variety of services can be offered over one line 8Higher bandwidth is possible with data compression
8
Why Use Analog Transmission? 8Already in place 8Significantly less expensive 8Lower attentuation rates 8Fully sufficient for transmission of voice signals
9
Analog Encoding of Digital Data 8Data encoding and decoding technique to represent data using the properties of analog waves 8Modulation: the conversion of digital signals to analog form 8Demodulation: the conversion of analog data signals back to digital form
10
Modem 8An acronym for modulator-demodulator 8Uses a constant-frequency signal known as a carrier signal 8Converts a series of binary voltage pulses into an analog signal by modulating the carrier signal 8The receiving modem translates the analog signal back into digital data
11
Methods of Modulation 8Amplitude modulation (AM) or amplitude shift keying (ASK) 8Frequency modulation (FM) or frequency shift keying (FSK) 8Phase modulation or phase shift keying (PSK)
12
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) 8In radio transmission, known as amplitude modulation (AM) 8The amplitude (or height) of the sine wave varies to transmit the ones and zeros 8Major disadvantage is that telephone lines are very susceptible to variations in transmission quality that can affect amplitude
13

14
Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) 8In radio transmission, known as frequency modulation (FM) 8Frequency of the carrier wave varies in accordance with the signal to be sent 8Signal transmitted at constant amplitude 8More resistant to noise than ASK 8Less attractive because it requires more analog bandwidth than ASK
15

16
Phase Shift Keying (PSK) 8Also known as phase modulation (PM) 8Frequency and amplitude of the carrier signal are kept constant 8The carrier signal is shifted in phase according to the input data stream 8Each phase can have a constant value, or value can be based on whether or not phase changes (differential keying)

19
Analog Channel Capacity: BPS vs. Baud 8Baud=# of signal changes per second 8BPS=bits per second 8In early modems only, baud=BPS 8Each signal change can represent more than one bit, through complex modulation of amplitude, frequency, and/or phase 8Increases information-carrying capacity of a channel without increasing bandwidth 8Increased combinations also leads to increased likelihood of errors

Digital Encoding of Analog Data 8Primarily used in retransmission devices 8The sampling theorem: If a signal is sampled at regular intervals of time and at a rate higher than twice the significant signal frequency, the samples contain all the information of the original signal. 88000 samples/sec sufficient for 4000hz
24
Converting Samples to Bits 8Quantizing 8Similar concept to pixelization 8Breaks wave into pieces, assigns a value in a particular range 88-bit range allows for 256 possible sample levels 8More bits means greater detail, fewer bits means less detail
25
Codec 8Coder/Decoder 8Converts analog signals into a digital form and converts it back to analog signals 8Where do we find codecs? 8Sound cards 8Scanners 8Voice mail 8Video capture/conferencing
26
Digital Encoding of Digital Data 8Most common, easiest method is different voltage levels for the two binary digits 8Typically, negative=1 and positive=0 8Known as NRZ-L, or nonreturn-to-zero level, because signal never returns to zero, and the voltage during a bit transmission is level
27
Differential NRZ 8Differential version is NRZI (NRZ, invert on ones) 8Change=1, no change=0 8Advantage of differential encoding is that it is more reliable to detect a change in polarity than it is to accurately detect a specific level
28
Problems With NRZ 8Difficult to determine where one bit ends and the next begins 8In NRZ-L, long strings of ones and zeroes would appear as constant voltage pulses 8Timing is critical, because any drift results in lack of synchronization and incorrect bit values being transmitted
29
Biphase Alternatives to NRZ 8Require at least one transition per bit time, and may even have two 8Modulation rate is greater, so bandwidth requirements are higher 8Advantages 8Synchronization due to predictable transitions 8Error detection based on absence of a transition
30
Manchester Code 8Transition in the middle of each bit period 8Transition provides clocking and data 8Low-to-high=1, high-to-low=0 8Used in Ethernet
31
Differential Manchester 8Midbit transition is only for clocking 8Transition at beginning of bit period=0 8Transition absent at beginning=1 8Has added advantage of differential encoding 8Used in token-ring

37
EIA-232-D 8new version of RS-232-C adopted in 1987 8improvements in grounding shield, test and loop-back signals 8the prevalence of RS-232-C in use made it difficult for EIA-232-D to enter into the marketplace
