Study Notes
Introduction
- Technology connects people globally
- Internet facilitates communication
- BSNL aims to connect India effectively
- Personal computers provide direct access to information and connect users globally
Communication System
- A communication system integrates multiple networks for efficient communication between sources and destinations
- Key elements include:
- Network Components
- Transmission Media
- Transmission Signals
- Communication Resources
Network Components
- Components facilitate effective communication from source to destination
- Involved in data transfer
- Data can be analog or digital
- Essential elements include: Sender, Medium, Receiver
Transmission Media
- Two categories:
- Wire-based: Cables connect devices (Twisted Pair, Coaxial, Optical Fiber)
- Wireless: Electromagnetic waves transmit signals (Radio, Microwave, Satellite)
Transmission Signals
- Data transmission occurs via electrical signals (either analog or digital)
- Analog signals are continuous and continuously variable (e.g., sound waves, video signals)
- Digital signals are discrete and represent data using 0s and 1s (e.g., computer data, digital clocks)
Communication Resources
- Resources enable communication between devices
- Broadband, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth are examples of communication resources
- Broadband internet access is high-speed and often uses optical fiber
- Wi-Fi allows wireless data exchange through computers and mobile devices
- Bluetooth enables short-range wireless communication for devices
Network Topology
- Network topology describes the arrangement of network components
- Physical topology refers to physical layout (cable placement)
- Logical topology defines data flow (independent of physical layout)
- Various topologies include: Star, Ring, Complete, Hybrid, Multipoint
Computer Network
- Interconnected computers or terminals
- Share resources, facilitate data transmission
- Important for communication and data transfer
- Advantages: sharing information, staying updated on world events, resource sharing, facilitating interactions
Types of Computer Networks
- Personal Area Network (PAN): Short range communication among devices (e.g., Bluetooth)
- Local Area Network (LAN): Connects devices within a limited geographical area (e.g., office, lab)
- Campus Area Network (CAN): Connects multiple LANs within a campus
- Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): Bigger than LAN, smaller than WAN, covers a city or metropolitan area
- Wide Area Network (WAN): Wide geographical area, connects across countries (e.g., Internet)
