• The source output may be
• analog signal
• audio or video signal
• digital signal
• the output of a teletype
machine
• The message are converted
into binary digits.
• Ideally, we should like to
represent the source output
by as few digits as possible.
• an efficient representation of
little or no redundancy
5
• The purpose of the channel • For example, a (trivial) form
encoder is to introduce, in a of encoding is simply to
controlled manner, some repeat each binary digit m
redundancy that can be used times.
at the receiver to overcome
the effect of noise and
interference.

• The primary purpose of the
digital modulator is to map
the binary information
sequence into signal
waveforms.
• Suppose the sequence is to
be transmitted one bit at a
time.
• The digital modulator may
simply map the binary digit 0
into a waveform s0(t) and the
binary digit 1 into a
waveform s1(t).
• called binary modulation
7
• The communication
channel is used to send
the signal from the
transmitter to the
receiver.
• wire lines, optical fiber,
wireless, etc
• Transmitted signal is
corrupted in a random
manner by a variety of
possible mechanisms.
• thermal noise, man-
made noise, atmospheric
noise
8
• The digital demodulator
processes the channel-
corrupted transmitted
waveform and reduces the
waveforms to a sequence of
numbers.
• This sequence is passed to
the channel decoder, which
attempts to reconstruct the
original information
sequence.
• from the knowledge of the
code used by the channel
encoder
9
• A measure of how well the
demodulator and decoder
perform is the probability of
bit errors.
• In general, it is a function of
• the code characteristics
• the types of waveforms
• the transmitter power
• the characteristics of the
channel
• the method of demodulation
and decoding
10
• At the final step, the source • Because of channel decoding
decoder, from the knowledge errors and possible distortion
of the source encoding (why?) introduced by the
method used, attempts to source encoder and the
reconstruct the original source decoder, the output
signal. signal is an approximation to
the original source output.
