PERIODIC ANALOG SIGNALS – A sine wave
Amplitude
Period
Parameters:
•Amplitude –absolute value of its highest intensity
•Period – time required to complete one cycle by
the signal usually in sec
•Frequency – number of periods in 1 s
•Phase describes the position of the waveform
relative to time 0.

DIGITAL SIGNALS
•A digital signal can have more than two levels. In this case, we
can send more than 1 bit for each level.

Two digital signals: one with two signal levels
and the other with four signal levels

TRANSMISSION 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. What is sent is
not what is received.

Noise
•Types of Noise:
*Thermal : random motion of electrons in wire causes extra signal
*Induced: source like motors and appliances which act as sending
antenna and transmission as receiving antenna
*Crosstalk : effect of one wire on the other
*Impulse : is a spike that comes from power lines, lightning etc
•Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) = average signal power / average
noise power
SNRdb = 10 log 10 SNR in decibels

Example
•A telephone line normally has a bandwidth of 3000. The signal-
to-noise ratio is usually 3162.
•For this channel the theoretical highest capacity is calculated as
•This means that the highest bit rate for a telephone line is
34.860 kbps. If we want to send data faster than this, we can
either increase the bandwidth of the line or improve the signal-
to-noise ratio.
