Terminology
• Transmitter
• Receiver
• Medium
– Guided medium : Media in which signal is guided
along a physical path.
• e.g. twisted pair, coaxial cable, optical fiber
– Unguided medium : Media in which signal is not
guided.
• e.g. air, water, vacuum

Periodic and Aperiodic Signals
• Periodic signal
– Pattern repeated over time
– A periodic signal completes a pattern within a
measurable time frame, called a period, and repeats
that pattern over subsequent identical periods. The
completion of one full pattern is called a cycle.
• Aperiodic signal
– Pattern not repeated over time
– An aperiodic signal changes without exhibiting a pattern or
cycle that repeats over time.

Spectrum & Bandwidth
• Spectrum
– The range of frequencies that a signal spans from
minimum to maximum.
• Absolute bandwidth
– width of spectrum
• Effective bandwidth
– Often just bandwidth

Analog and Digital Data Transmission
• Data
– Entities that convey meaning
• Signals
– Electric or electromagnetic representations of
data
• Signaling
– The physical propagation of signals along a
suitable medium
• Transmission
– Communication of data by propagation and
processing of signals

Advantages of Digital Transmission
• Digital 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

Cross Talk
• Crosstalk
– A signal from one line is picked up by another
– Occur due to the electrical coupling between near by
twisted pair cable or unwanted signals picked by
microwave antennas

• Impulse
– Irregular pulses or spikes
– e.g. External electromagnetic interference
– Short duration, High amplitude

Shannon Capacity Formula
• At a given nose level, the higher the data rate, the higher
the error rate.
• The Shannon’s result is that the maximum error free
channel capacity is:
C = B log2 (1+SNR)
Where, C = capacity of channel in bits per second
B = Bandwidth of the signal in Hertz
SNR = Signal to Noise Ratio
(SNR)dB = 10 log10 (signal power/noise)
High SNR means a high quality signal and low number of
required intermediate repeaters
As bandwidth increases, SNR decreases because more
noise will be admitted to the system.
