Study Notes
Wireless Transmission Fundamentals
-
Signals convey information through physical representation of data.
-
Signals can be classified as continuous time/discrete time, continuous values/discrete values.
-
Analog signals are continuous time and continuous values, while digital signals are discrete time and discrete values.
-
Periodic signals have parameters such as period, frequency, amplitude, and phase shift.
-
Fourier transformation is used to transfer composed signals into the frequency domain.
-
Spread spectrum technology is used to protect against narrow band interference by spreading the narrow band signal into a broad band signal using a special code.
-
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) are two types of spread spectrum technology.
-
DSSS involves XOR of the signal with a pseudo-random number (chipping sequence) and requires precise power control.
-
FHSS involves discrete changes of carrier frequency and has two versions: fast hopping and slow hopping.
-
Antennas can be isotropic radiators, dipoles, directed, sectorized, or diverse.
-
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) uses several antennas at the receiver and transmitter to increase data rates and transmission range.
-
Signal propagation can be affected by fading, shadowing, reflection, refraction, scattering, and diffraction, and can change over time and location due to mobility.Wireless Communication Networks: Channel Capacity and Multiplexing
-
Modulation techniques such as ASK, FSK, and PSK are used to map digital data to analog signals.
-
Digital data can also be mapped to digital signals using techniques like NRZ.
-
Channel capacity is the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a given communication path, and it is limited by impairments like noise.
-
Data rate, bandwidth, noise, and error rate are key concepts related to channel capacity.
-
Nyquist bandwidth formula states that C=2B for binary signals and C=2B log2 M for multilevel signaling, where M is the number of discrete signal levels.
-
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the ratio of signal power to noise power and sets an upper bound on achievable data rate.
-
Shannon's capacity formula (C=B log2(1+SNR)) represents the theoretical maximum data rate that can be achieved but assumes white noise.
-
Multiplexing allows multiple signals to be carried on a single transmission medium, and there are various techniques like FDMA, TDMA, CDMA, OFDMA, SDMA, and PDMA.
-
FDMA allocates different frequency bands to different users, while TDMA assigns different time slots to different users.
-
CDMA uses unique signature codes to transmit data from all users on the same frequency band.
-
OFDM uses multiple closely spaced orthogonal sub-carriers to transmit a high-rate stream of data and mitigates the effects of narrow coherence bandwidth.
-
Directivity, radiation pattern, noise, signal-to-noise ratio, channel capacity, and multiplexing are key concepts in wireless communication networks.Review Questions on Wireless Communication Networks
