Communication Systems
Basic components:
Transmitter
Channel or medium
Receiver
Information→Transmitter→Channel→
Receiver→Recovered Information
Slide 7
Transmitter
The transmitter is a collection of electronic components
and circuits designed to convert the electrical signal
into a signal suitable for transmission over a given
communication medium.
Slide 8
Communication Channel
The communication channel is the medium by which
the electronic signal is sent from one place to another.
Slide 9
Receivers
A receiver is a collection of electronic components and
circuits that accepts the transmitted message from the
channel and converts it back into a form
understandable by humans.
Slide 10
Transceivers
A transceiver is an electronic unit that incorporates circuits that
both send and receive signals.
Examples are:
Telephones
Fax machines
Handheld CB radios
Cell phones
Computer modems
Slide 11
Attenuation
Signal attenuation or degradation exists in all media of
transmission. It is proportional to the square of the
distance between the transmitter and receiver.
Slide 12
Noise
Noise is random, undesirable electronic energy that
enters the communication system via the
communicating medium and interferes with the
transmitted message.
Slide 13
Types of Electronic Communication
Simplex
Full Duplex
Half Duplex
Slide 14
Simplex
The simplest method of electronic communication is
referred to as simplex. This type of communication is
one-way. Examples are:
Radio
TV broadcasting
Beeper (personal receiver)
Slide 15
Full Duplex
Most electronic communication is two-way and is
referred to as duplex. When people can talk and listen
simultaneously, it is called full duplex. The telephone
is an example of this type of communication.
Slide 16
Half Duplex
The form of two-way communication in which only one
party transmits at a time is known as half duplex.
Examples are:
Police, military, etc. radio transmissions
Citizen band
Family radio
Amateur radio
Slide 17
Analog Signals
An analog signal is a smoothly and continuously
varying voltage or current. Examples are:
Sine wave
Voice
Video (TV)
Slide 18
Digital Signals
Digital signals change in steps or in discrete increments.
Most digital signals use binary or two-state codes.
Examples are:
Telegraph (Morse code)
Continuous wave (CW) code
Serial binary code
Slide 19
Modulation and Multiplexing
Baseband Transmission
Broadband Transmission
Multiplexing
Slide 20
Baseband Transmission
Baseband information can be sent directly and unmodified over
the medium or can be used to modulate a carrier for
transmission over the medium. Examples are:
In telephone or intercom systems, the voice is placed on the
wires and transmitted.
In some computer networks, the digital signals are applied
directly to coaxial or twisted-pair cables for transmission.
Slide 21
By Definition…
Modulation is an electronic technique for transmitting information.
Multiplexing is an electronic technique that allows more than one signal to
be transmitted concurrently over a single medium.
A carrier is a high frequency signal that is modulated by audio, video, or
data.
A radio-frequency (RF) wave is an electromagnetic signal which is able to
travel long distances through space.
Slide 22
Broadband Transmission
A broadband transmission takes place when a carrier
signal is modulated, amplified, and sent to the
antenna for transmission. Methods of modulation are:
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
Frequency Modulation (FM)
Slide 23
By Definition…
Frequency-shift keying (FSK) takes place when data is
converted to frequency varying tones.
Demodulation or detection takes place in the receiver when the
original baseband (e.g. audio) signal is extracted.
Devices called modems (modulator-demodulator) translate the
data from digital to analog and back again.
Slide 24
Multiplexing
Multiplexing is the process of allowing two or more
signals to share the same medium or channel. Types
of multiplexing are:
Frequency division
Time division
Slide 25
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
The range of electromagnetic signals encompassing all
frequencies is referred to as the electromagnetic
spectrum.
Frequency
Wavelength
Frequency range
Optical spectrum
Slide 26
Frequency
Frequency is the number of cycles of a repetitive wave that occur
in a given period of time.
A cycle consists of two voltage polarity reversals, current
reversals, or electromagnetic field oscillations.
Frequency is measured in cycles per second.
The unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz).
Slide 27
Wavelength
Wavelength is the distance occupied by one cycle of a
wave and is usually expressed in meters.
Wavelength is also the distance traveled by an
electromagnetic wave during the time of one cycle.
The wavelength of a signal is represented by the
Greek letter lambda (λ).
Slide 28
Wavelength Formulas
Wavelength (λ) = speed of light ÷ frequency
Note: Speed of light = 3 x 108 meters/second
Therefore:
λ = 3 x 108 / f
Example:
What is the wavelength if the frequency is 4MHz?
λ = 3 x 108 / 4 MHz = 75 meters (m)
Slide 29
Frequency Ranges
Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF) are in the 30 to 300 Hz
range.
Voice Frequencies (VF) are in the range of 300 to 3000 Hz.
Very Low Frequencies (VLF) include the higher end of the
human hearing range up to about 20 kHz.
Low Frequencies (LF) are in the 30 to 300 kHz range.
Medium Frequencies (MF) are in the 300 to 3000 kHz range
Slide 30
Frequency Ranges
(Continued)
High Frequencies (HF) are in the 3 to 30 MHz range.
Very High Frequencies (VHF) encompass the 30 to 300 MHz
range.
Ultra High Frequencies (UHF) encompass the 300 to 3000
MHz range.
Microwaves and Super High Frequencies (SHF) exist between
1 GHz and 30 GHz.
Extremely High Frequencies (EHF) extend from 30 GHz to
300 GHz.
Slide 31
Optical Spectrum
The optical spectrum exists directly above the
millimeter wave region. Three types of light waves
are:
Infrared
Visible spectrum
Ultraviolet
Slide 32
Bandwidth
Bandwidth (BW) is that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
occupied by a signal.
Channel Bandwidth refers to the range of frequencies required
to transmit the desired information.
Spectrum Management is provided by agencies set up by the
United States and other countries to control spectrum use.
Standards are specifications and guidelines necessary to ensure
compatibility between transmitting and receiving equipment.
