    Study Notes

    1. Mobile communication systems were first based on AM schemes and only certain organizations maintained such systems.
    2. Mobile radio communication systems began to witness many new changes with the development of FM technique by Edwin Armstrong.
    3. Mobile telephone was introduced in 1946 but found less market penetration due to high costs and technological drawbacks.
    4. Cellular concept in the 1960s at Bell Laboratories made mobile communications a promising field.
    5. Mobile radio transmission systems may be classified as simplex, half-duplex or full-duplex.
    6. Simplex systems allow communication in only one direction.
    7. Half-duplex systems allow two-way communication using the same radio channel for both transmission and reception.
    8. Full duplex systems allow simultaneous radio transmission and reception between a subscriber and a base station.
    9. FDD is used exclusively in analog mobile radio systems, while TDD is only possible with digital transmission formats and digital modulation.
    10. Transmission types include unicast, broadcast, and multicast.
