    Study Notes

    Introduction to Electrical and Electronics Engineering Systems

    • The course focuses on energy conversion and information transfer.

    • The instructors are Jaybie de Guzman, Ph.D. and Rhandley D. Cajote, PhD.

    Morse Code

    • Samuel F.B. Morse demonstrated the telegraph system on January 24, 1838.
    • The message sent was “Attention the Universe by Kingdoms Right Wheel.”
    • Morse Code was revolutionary as it used electrical signals to transmit information for the first time.

    Information and Signals

    • Information can be expressed through the content of a message or through direct/indirect observation.
    • Information is conveyed as the content of a message.
    • Signals convey information; they are defined as observable changes in quantities like voltage, current, or electromagnetic waves.

    Modern Communication Systems

    • Modern communication systems rely on vast interconnected networks.
    • Example of a communication systems process:
      • Point-to-point communication from mobile device to base station.
      • Multiple access to a shared base station.
      • Communication between base stations.

    Point-to-Point Communication

    • Involves one sender and one receiver over a short distance.
    • Information is converted to bits using information encoding or source coding.

    Point-to-Point Communication System Block Diagram

    • Sender (Transmitter/Information Source): Encodes information into bits.
    • Error Correcting Coding: Adds redundant bits for channel error resilience.
    • Communication Channel: Transmits information (can be affected by noise).
    • Receiver: Reverses the process to recover bits.

    Voice to Bits Conversion

    • Voice is converted to electrical signals via a transducer, like a microphone.
    • Microphone converts Sound Pressure Level (SPL) to voltage (Electromotive Force or EMF).
    • Analog signal is sampled and digitized using analog-to-digital conversion (ADC).
    • ADC consists of sampling, quantization, and coding.

    Transducers

    • Convert physical quantities to electrical signals.
    • Examples: thermocouple, piezoelectric, photovoltaic.

    Microphone

    • Uses Faraday's Law: changing magnetic flux generates voltage.
    • Uses Ohm's Law: voltage drives current flow through a wire.

    Analog-To-Digital Conversion (ADC)

    • Converts analog signals to digital signals.
    • Steps:
      • Sampling: Converts a continuous signal to discrete time intervals.
      • Quantization: Converts discrete samples to finite values.
      • Coding: Represents quantized values as binary code.

    Sampling Theorem

    • Determines the minimum sampling rate required to recover an analog signal.
    • Sampling Frequency (Fs): Number of samples per second.
    • Nyquist Rate (FN): Minimum sampling frequency (Fs>2Fmax).
    • Maximum Frequency (Fmax): Highest frequency component of the signal.

    Number of Samples

    • Number of samples in a signal of duration Tw with a sample period Ts is: N = Tw/Ts.
    • Tradeoff: Higher sampling rate (Fs) reduces information loss but requires more storage.

    Audio Sampling Rates

    • Voice: 8000 Hz
    • CD quality: 44,100 Hz
