Important Definitions
• In the data communications world, data generally are defined as information that is stored in
digital form.
• The word data is plural; a single unit of data is a datum.
• Information is defined as knowledge or intelligence. Information that has been processed,
organized and stored is called data.
• The fundamental purpose of a data communications circuit is to transfer digital information
from one place to another.
• Thus, data communications can be summarized as the transmission, reception and processing
of digital information.
• A network is a set of devices (sometimes called nodes or stations) interconnected by media
links.
• Data communications networks are systems of interrelated computers and computer
equipment and can be as simple as a personal computer connected to a printer or two personal
computers connected together through the public telephone network.
• In essence, there is virtually no limit to the capacity or size of a data communications
network.

3-1 ANALOG AND DIGITAL

Data can be analog or digital


digital.. The term analog data refers
to information that is continuous
continuous;; digital data refers to
information that has discrete states
states.. Analog data take on
continuous values
values.. Digital data take on discrete values
values..

Topics discussed in this section:


Analog and Digital Data
Analog and Digital Signals
Periodic and Nonperiodic Signals

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 34


Note

Data can be analog or digital.


Analog data are continuous and take
continuous values.
Digital data have discrete states and
take discrete values.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 35


Note

Signals can be analog or digital.


Analog signals can have an infinite
number of values in a range; digital
signals can have only a limited
number of values.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 36


Figure 3.1 Comparison of analog and digital signals

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 37


Note

In data communications, we commonly


use periodic analog signals and
nonperiodic digital signals.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 38


3-2 PERIODIC ANALOG SIGNALS

Periodic analog signals can be classified as simple or


composite.. A simple periodic analog signal, a sine wave
composite wave,,
cannot be decomposed into simpler signals
signals.. A composite
periodic analog signal is composed of multiple sine
waves..

Table 3.1 Units of period and frequency

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 44


Note

Frequency is the rate of change with


respect to time.

Change in a short span of time


means high frequency.

Change over a long span of


time means low frequency.
G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 45
Note

If a signal does not change at all, its


frequency is zero.
If a signal changes instantaneously, its
frequency is infinite.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 46


Note

Phase describes the position of the


waveform relative to time 0.

Note

A complete sine wave in the time


domain can be represented by one
single spike in the frequency domain.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 50


Figure 3.8 The time domain and frequency domain of three sine waves

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 51


Note

A single-frequency sine wave is not


useful in data communications;
we need to send a composite signal, a
signal made of many simple sine waves.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 52


Note

If the composite signal is periodic, the


decomposition gives a series of signals
with discrete frequencies;
if the composite signal is nonperiodic,
the decomposition gives a combination
of sine waves with continuous
frequencies.

The bandwidth of a composite signal is


the difference between the
highest and the lowest frequencies
contained in that signal.

3-3 DIGITAL SIGNALS
In addition to being represented by an analog signal,
information can also be represented by a digital signal
signal..
For example, a 1 can be encoded as a positive voltage
and a 0 as zero voltage
voltage.. A digital signal can have more
than two levels
levels.. In this case, we can send more than 1 bit
for each level
level..

digital signals

3-4 TRANSMISSION IMPAIRMENT

Signals travel through transmission media, which are not


perfect.. The imperfection causes signal impairment
perfect impairment.. This
means that the signal at the beginning of the medium is
not the same as the signal at the end of the medium medium..
What is sent is not what is received
received.. Three causes of
impairment are attenuation
attenuation,, distortion
distortion,, and noise
noise..

3-5 DATA RATE LIMITS

A very important consideration in data communications


is how fast we can send data, in bits per second, over a
channel.. Data rate depends on three factors
channel factors::
1. The bandwidth available
2. The level of the signals we use
3. The quality of the channel (the level of noise)

Topics discussed in this section:


Noiseless Channel: Nyquist Bit Rate
Noisy Channel: Shannon Capacity
Using Both Limits
G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 68
Note

Increasing the levels of a signal may


reduce the reliability of the system.

TO--ANALOG CONVERSION

Digital-to
Digital- to--analog conversion is the process of
changing one of the characteristics of an analog
signal based on the information in digital data

Bit rate is the number of bits per second.


Baud rate is the number of signal
elements per second.

In the analog transmission of digital


data, the baud rate is less than
or equal to the bit rate.

A Fiber Optic Cable

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 97


Advantages of Optical Fiber Cables

• An optical fiber is made up of the core (carries the light pulses), the
cladding (reflects the light pulses back into the core) and the buffer
coating (protects the core and cladding from moisture, damage, etc.).

• Together, all of this creates a fiber optic which can carry up to 10


million messages at any time using light pulses.

• Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which


permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths
(data rates) than other forms of communications.

• Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along
them with less loss and are also immune to electromagnetic
interference

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 98


Disadvantages of Optical Fiber Cables

• Joining lengths of optical fiber is more


complex than joining electrical wire or
cable.

• Cost of Optical Fiber Cables is more


compared to electrical wire or cable.

using line-of-sight propagation.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 117


Characteristics of Electromagnetic waves

• Electromagnetic radiation (often abbreviated E-


M radiation or EMR) is a phenomenon that takes
the form of self-propagating waves in a vacuum or
in matter. It comprises electric and magnetic field
components, which oscillate in phase
perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to
the direction of energy propagation.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 118


Note:

• An electromagnetic field (also EMF or EM field) is a physical field


produced by electrically charged objects. It affects the behavior of
charged objects in the vicinity of the field. The electromagnetic field
extends indefinitely throughout space and describes the
electromagnetic interaction.

• The field can be viewed as the combination of an electric field and a


magnetic field. The electric field is produced by stationary charges,
and the magnetic field by moving charges (currents); these two are
often described as the sources of the field. The way in which charges
and currents interact with the electromagnetic field is described by
Maxwell's equations
G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 119
Transverse Electromagnetic wave

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 120


Transmission Lines

• A transmission line is the material medium


or structure that forms all or part of a path
from one place to another for directing the
transmission of energy, such as
electromagnetic waves or acoustic waves,
as well as electric power transmission.
Types of transmission line include wires,
coaxial cables, optical fibers, electric power
lines G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 121
Metallic Transmission Line Equivalent Circuit

• The model consists of an infinite series of the elements shown in the


figure, and that the values of the components are specified per unit
length. R, L, C, and G may also be functions of frequency. These quantities
can also be known as the primary line constants to distinguish from the
secondary line constants derived from them, these being the propagation
constant, attenuation constant and phase constant.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 122


Note:
• The transmission line model represents the transmission line as an
infinite series of two-port elementary components, each representing
an infinitesimally short segment of the transmission line:

• The distributed resistance R of the conductors is represented by a series


resistor (expressed in ohms per unit length).
• The distributed inductance L (due to the magnetic field around the
wires, self-inductance, etc.) is represented by a series inductor (henries
per unit length).
• The capacitance C between the two conductors is represented by a
shunt capacitor C (farads per unit length).
• The conductance G of the dielectric material separating the two
conductors is represented by a shunt resistor between the signal wire
and the return wire (siemens per unit length).

Electromagnetic Polarization

• Electromagnetic waves are comprised of an electric and


a magnetic field at 90 degrees to each other. The
Polarization of a plane electromagnetic wave is simply
the orientation of the electric field vector in respect to
earth’s surface.

• If the polarization remains constant, it is described as


Linear Polarization. Horizontal and Vertical
Polarizations are two forms of linear Polarization.

• A wave is horizontally polarized if the electric field


propagates parallel to the earth’s surface, and the wave
is vertically polarized if the electric field propagates
perpendicular toGthe earth’s surface
V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 165
• The wave is described as having circular
polarization if the polarization vector rotates 360
degrees as the wave moves one wavelength
through space and the field strength is equal at all
angles of polarization.
• When the field strength varies with changes in
polarization, this is described as elliptical
polarization.
• A rotating wave can turn in either direction. If the
vector rotates in clockwise direction, it is right
handed, and if the vector rotates in a
counterclockwise direction, it is left handed.
G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 166
Plane Waves

• Electromagnetic radiation can be imagined as a self-propagating


transverse oscillating wave of electric and magnetic fields. This
diagram shows a plane linearly polarized wave propagating from
left to right.
• The magnetic field (labeled M) is in a horizontal plane and the
electric field (labeled E) is in a vertical plane.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 170


Rays and Wavefronts

• The concepts of rays and wavefronts are aids to illustrating the effects of
electromagnetic wave propagation.

• A ray is a line drawn along the direction of propagation of an electromagnetic


wave. Rays are used to show the relative direction of propagation; however, a
ray does not necessarily represent a single electromagnetic wave.

• A wavefront shows a surface of constant phase of electromagnetic waves.

• A wavefront is formed when points of equal phase on rays propagating from


the same source are joined together. When a surface is plane, its wavefront is
perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 171


• Most wavefronts are more complicated than a simple plane
wave.

• A point source is a single location from which rays


propagate equally in all directions (i.e., an isotropic source)

• The wave front generated from a point source is simply a


sphere with radius R and its center located at the point of
origin of the waves.

Skip distance and Free-space loss

• Skip distance is the minimum distance from a transmit


antenna that a sky wave of given frequency will be
returned to the earth.

• Free-space loss is often defined as the loss incurred by an


electromagnetic wave as it propagates in a straight line
through vacuum with no absorption or reflection of energy
from nearby objects.

• A more appropriate term for the phenomenon is spreading


loss. Spreading loss simply occurs because of the inverse
square law.

IEEE Microwave frequency bands

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 182


Advantages of microwave radio communications

• 1. Radio systems do not require a right-of-way acquisition between stations


• 2. Each station requires the purchase or lease of only a small area of land.
• 3. Because of their high operating frequencies, microwave radio systems
can carry large quantities of information.
• 4. High frequencies mean short wavelengths, which require relatively small
antennas.
• 5. Radio signals are more easily propagated around physical obstacles, such as
water and high mountains.
• 6. Microwave systems require fewer repeaters for amplification.
• 7. Distances between switching centers are less.
• 8. Underground facilities are minimized.
• 9. Minimum delay times are introduced.
• 10. Minimum cross talk exists between voice channels.
G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 183
Disadvantages of microwave radio communications

• 1. The electronic circuits used with microwave frequencies are more


difficult to analyze.

• 2. Conventional components such as resistors, inductors, and


capacitors are more difficult to manufacture and implement at
microwave frequencies.

• 3. Microwave components are more expensive.

• 4. Signal amplification is more difficult with microwave frequencies.

INTRODUCTION

Telephone networks use circuit switching


switching.. The
telephone network had its beginnings in the late
1800ss. The entire network, which is referred to as the
1800
plain old telephone system (POTS
POTS),), was originally an
analog system using analog signals to transmit voice
voice..

Functions of the Telephone set

1. Notify the subscriber when there is an incoming call with an audible


signal, such as a bell, or with a visible signal, such as a flashing light.

2. Provide a signal to the telephone network verifying when the incoming


call has been acknowledged and answered (i.e., the receiver is lifted off
hook).

3. Convert speech energy to electrical energy in the transmitter and vice


versa in the receiver.

4. Incorporate some method of inputting and sending destination


telephone numbers from the telephone set to the central office switch
over the local loop. This is accomplished using either rotary dialers
(pulses) or touch-tone pads (frequency tones)

5. Regulate the amplitude of the speech signal the calling person outputs 206
G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT
onto the telephone line. This prevents cross talk.
6. Incorporate some means of notifying the telephone office when a
subscriber wishes to place an outgoing call (i.e., handset lifted off hook)

7. Ensure that a small amount of the transmit signal is fed back to the
speaker, enabling talkers to hear themselves speaking. This feedback
signal is sometimes called sidetone or talkback. Sidetone helps prevent
the speaker from talking too loudly.

8. Provide an open circuit (idle condition) to the local loop when the
telephone is not in use (i.e., on hook) and a closed circuit (busy
condition) to the local loop when the telephone is in use (off hook).

9. Provide a means of transmitting and receiving call progress signals


between the central office switch and the subscriber, such as on and off
hook, busy, ringing, dial pulses, touch-tone signals and dial tone.

Basic Telephone Call Procedures

1. Prior to the call, both telephones are not in use (on-hook). The
call begins when one subscriber lifts the receiver (off-hook); this
action is automatically signaled to the end office switch.

2. The switch responds with an audible dial tone, signaling the


subscriber that the number may be dialed.

3. The caller dials the number, which is communicated as a called


address to the switch.

4. If the called subscriber is not busy, the switch alerts that


subscriber to an incoming call by sending a ringing signal, which
causes the telephone to ring.

G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT 212


5. Feedback is provided to the calling subscriber by the switch:
a) If the called subscriber is not busy, the switch returns an audible ringing
tone to the caller while the ringing signal is being sent to the called
subscriber.
b) If the called subscriber is busy, the switch sends an audible busy signal
to the caller.
c) If the call cannot be completed through the switch, the switch sends an
audible "reorder" message to the caller.

6. The called party accepts the call by lifting the receiver (off-hook), which is
automatically signaled to the switch.

7. The switch terminates the ringing signal and the audible ringing tone, and
establishes a connection between the two subscribers.

8. The connection is released when either subscriber hangs up.

Example 16.1

What is the period of the Moon, according to Kepler’s law?

Here C is a constant approximately equal to 1/100. The


period is in seconds and the distance in kilometers.

16.252 G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT


Example 16.1 (continued)

Solution
The Moon is located approximately 384,000 km above the
Earth. The radius of the Earth is 6378 km. Applying the
formula, we get.

16.253 G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT


Example 16.2

According to Kepler’s law, what is the period of a satellite


that is located at an orbit approximately 35,786 km above
the Earth?

Solution
Applying the formula, we get

16.254 G V SATYA KUMAR ECE VVIT


Example 16.2 (continued)

This means that a satellite located at 35,786 km has a


period of 24 h, which is the same as the rotation period of
the Earth. A satellite like this is said to be stationary to the
Earth. The orbit, as we will see, is called a geosynchronous
orbit.
