3. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved3 Major topics  This chapter explains the differences between analog and digital transmission discusses Transmission impairments and channel capacity describes how digital data can be encoded by means of a modem so that they can be transmitted over analog telephone lines

4. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved4 Analog and digital  Analog data vs. digital data Analog: Continuous values on some interval (sound, light, temperature, pressure) Digital: Discrete values (text, integers, binary)  Analog signal vs. digital signal Analog: Continuously varying electromagnetic wave Digital: Series of voltage pulses (square wave)

5. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved5 Analog Data-->Signal Options  Analog data to analog signal Inexpensive, easy conversion (e.g. telephone) Data may be shifted to a different part of the available spectrum (multiplexing) Used in traditional analog telephony  Analog data to digital signal (PCM) Requires a codec (encoder/decoder)  sender converts the voice data by a bit stream, receiver reconstruct the bit stream to the analog data Allows use of digital telephony

6. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved6 Digital Data-->Signal Options  Digital data to analog signal Requires modem (modulator/demodulator) Allows use of PSTN (public-switched Telephone Network) to send data Necessary when analog transmission is used  Digital data to digital signal (LINE CODING) More reliable because no conversion is involved Less expensive when large amounts of data are involved

8. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved8 Advantages of digital transmission (1/2)  Cost the LSI and VLSI technologies has caused a continuing drop in the cost and size of digital circuitry the maintenance costs for digital circuitry are a fraction of those for analog circuitry  Data integrity with the use of digital repeaters, the effects of noise and other signal impairments are not cumulative it is possible to transmit data longer distances and over lesser-quality lines while maintaining the integrity of the data

9. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved9 Advantages of digital transmission (2/2)  Capacity utilization it has become economical to build transmission links of very high bandwidth  including satellite channels and optical fiber it is more easily and cheaply achieved with digital transmission for a high degree of multiplexing to effectively utilize the capacity  Security and privacy encryption techniques can be readily applied to digital data and to analog data that have been digitized

10. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved10 Digital signals

11. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved11 Digital signals  Digital signals usually refers to the transmission of electromagnetic pulses that represent two binary digits, 1 and 0 binary information is generated and then converted into digital voltage pulses for transmission

17. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved17 5. What is the transmission time of a message sent by a station if the length of the message one million bytes (each byte consists of 8 bits) and the data transmission rate is 200 kbps? Solution x 10 6 x 8/ 200 x 10 3 Transmission time = Message size / data transmission rate = 1 x 10 6 x 8/ 200 x 10 3 = 40s

18. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved18 6. What is the total delay (latency) for a message of size 5 million bits that is being sent on a link? The length of the link is 2000Km. The speed of electromagnetic wave inside the link is 2 × 10 8 m/s and the data transmission rate is 5Mbps? Solution Message size = 5 million bits = 5 x 10 6 Distance = 2000Km = 2 x 10 6 m Speed = 2 × 10 8 m/s data transmission rate = 5 × 10 6 b/s Latency = Propagation time + Transmission time

19. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved19 Propagation time = Distance / Propagation speed = 2 x 10 6 /2 × 10 8 =1/100 = 0.01s Transmission time = Message size / data transmission rate = 5 x 10 6 / 5 x 10 6 = 1 s Latency = Propagation time + Transmission time = 0.01 +1 = 1.01s

Solution Figure (a) : T = 1/F F = 12 T = 1/12 = 0.083 s = 83 ms Figure (b) : T = 1/F F = 6 T = 1/6 = 0.166 s = 166 ms

21. 3-2008UP-Copyrights reserved21 9. A nonperiodic composite signal has a bandwidth of 200 kHz, with a middle frequency of 140 kHz and peak amplitude of 20 V. The two extreme frequencies have amplitude of 0. Draw the frequency domain of the signal. Solution Bandwidth = 200 kHz = F h - F l Where f h is the highest frequency, and f l is the lowest frequency. Then F h – F l = 200 (F h +F l )/2 = 140 The lowest frequency must be at 40 kHz and the highest at 240 kHz.
