Data transmission
 Data transmission, digital transmission or digital
communications is the physical transfer of data (a
digital bit stream) over a point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint communication channel.
 Examples of such channels are copper wires,
optical fibres, wireless communication channels,
and storage media.
 The data is represented as an electromagnetic signal,
such as an electrical voltage, radiowave, microwave
or infrared signal.
Data Transmission
 Data transmission occurs over some transmission
medium.
 Transmission media may be guided or unguided.
 A direct link between two devices is a point-to-
point link.
 More than two devices communicate over a
multipoint link.
 Transmission may be simplex, half-duplex, or full-
duplex.
Analog and Digital Transmission
 Analog--continuous time signals.
 Digital--discrete time signals.
 Three Contexts
 Data--entities that convey meaning; signals are electric
or electromagnetic encoding of data.
 Signaling--the physical propagation of the signal along
a suitable medium.
 Transmission--the communication of data by the
propagation and processing of signals.
Advantages of Data Transmission
 Digital technology
 Low cost LSI/VLSI technology

 Data integrity
 Longer distances over lower quality lines

 Capacity utilization
 High bandwidth links economical

 High degree of multiplexing easier with digital techniques

 Security & Privacy

 Encryption

 Integration
 Can treat analog and digital data similarly
Advantages of Data Transmission
 Stability of components: Analog hardware change due to component
aging, heat, etc.
 Flexibility:
 Perform encryption

 Compression

 Error correction/detection

 Reliable reproduction
