The frequency (f), measured in Hertz (Hz), refers to the number of periods in one second. Note that period and frequency are just one characteristic defined in two ways. Period and frequency are inverse of each other, in other words (f = 1/ T). zP period H freq I © McGraw Hill, LLC s Y 9 Phase a is OUTWITH The term phase describes the position of the waveform relative to time 0.

For example, a value 1 can be encoded as a positive voltage and a value 0 as zero voltage. A digital signal can have more than two levels. In this case, we can send more than 1 bit for each level.

Another term-bit rate (instead of frequency) is used. The bit rate is the number of bits sent in 1 second.

A page is an average of 24 lines with 80 characters per line.

We can have two types of transmission: baseband and broadband. The first means sending the digital signal without changing it to analog signal. The second means changing the digital signal to analog signal and send the analog signal.

The imperfection causes signal impairment. This means that the signal at the beginning of the medium is not the same as the signal at the end of the medium. What is sent is not what is received. Three causes of impairment are attenuation, distortion, and noise. Edit 6 s Esto Em pm attenuation 306 distortion 7 oft noises IF © McGraw Hill, LLC 23 2.2.1 Attenuation and Amplification Attenuation means a loss of energy. To compensate for this loss we 25 need amplification. When a signal, simple or composite, travels through a medium, it loses some of its energy in overcoming the resistance of the medium. To compensate for this loss, we need amplification. Figure 2.6 shows the effect of attenuation and amplification. © McGraw Hill, LLC 24 Figure 2.6 Attenuation and amplification Hi FI 642 Attenuating a Amp e s w Il Iis 656 E Oj Lamptitude His Repeateerszg.is d IIIs Access the text alternative for slide images. © McGraw Hill, LLC 25 ofpower j 4 Amplifier WHEN 61 Example 2.5 gain of Attenuation 81 bi loss power 6ft gig Suppose a signal travels i through a transmission medium and its power is reduced to one half.

The quality of the channel (the level of noise) noised Bitrate Two theoretical formulas were developed to calculate the data rate: one by Nyquist for a noiseless channel, another by Shannon for a noisy channel. © McGraw Hill, LLC 29 Noiseless Channel: Nyquist Bit Rate For a noiseless channel, the Nyquist bit rate formula defines the theoretical maximum bit rate. levels job upper limit p named D od O 04 Is FIFI Bandwidth Dotty Digital © McGraw Hill, LLC 30 Example 2.6 We need to send 265 kbps over a noiseless (ideal) channel with a bandwidth of 20 kHz. How many signal levels do we need? We can use the Nyquist formula as shown: Since this result is not a power of 2, we need to either increase the number of levels or reduce the bit rate. If we have 128 levels, the bit rate is 280 kbps. If we have 64 levels, the bit rate is 240 kbps. 27 2 128a rate 2 0 10219 Bit 1000 280 KBps Bitrate 2 20 18 1 7 7 40 © McGraw Hill, LLC 31 i Noisy Channel: Shannon Capacity For a noisy channel, we have x 9 ot signalto noiseratio WI Bandwidth BitRat's of Bitsper 4W Seconds © McGraw Hill, LLC 32 Example 2.7 Consider an extremely noisy channel in which the value of the signal-to-noise ratio is almost zero. In other words, the noise is so In strong that the signal is faint. For this channel the capacity C is calculated as shown below. This means that the capacity of this channel is zero regardless of the bandwidth. In other words, the data is so corrupted in this channel that it is useless when received. © McGraw Hill, LLC 33 Example 2.8 We can calculate the theoretical highest bit rate of a regular telephone line. A telephone line normally has a bandwidth of 3000 Hz (300 to 3300 Hz) assigned for data communications. The signal-to-noise ratio is usually 3162. For this channel the capacity is calculated as shown below. This means that the highest bit rate for a telephone line is 34.881 kbps. If we want to send data faster than this, we can either increase the bandwidth of the line or improve the signal-to noise ratio. © McGraw Hill, LLC 34 Using Both Limits In practice, we need to use both limits. © McGraw Hill, LLC 35 Example 2.9 We have a channel with a 1-MHz bandwidth. The SNR for this channel is 63. What are the appropriate bit rate and signal level? Solution First, we use the Shannon formula to find the upper limit. BitRate upperlimitfor C a The Shannon formula gives us 6 Mbps, the upper limit. For better performance we choose something lower, 4 Mbps, for example. Then we use the Nyquist formula to find the number of signal levels. 4 2 B FL © McGraw Hill, LLC 36 2.2.4 Performance Up to now, we have discussed the tools of transmitting data (signals) over a network and how the data behave. One important issue in networking is the performance of the network—how good is it? © McGraw Hill, LLC 37 Bandwidth 2 One characteristic that measure network performance is bandwidth. © McGraw Hill, LLC 38 Example 2.10 The bandwidth of a subscriber line is 4 kHz for voice or data. The bit rate of this line for data transmission can be up to 56 kbps, using a sophisticated modem to change the digital signal to analog. If the telephone company improves the quality of the line and O O increases the bandwidth to 8 kHz, we can send 112 kbps. ti Britate f Bandwidth do lil 2 9 Bit Rate 2 Bligh © McGraw Hill, LLC 39 Throughput Esa Bitrate The throughput is the measure of how fast we can actually send data through a network. latency f transmission E r Y l pg Delay 19 Delay i l essing Delay Delay © McGraw Hill, LLC 40 Latency (Delay) zgion oftwHB destination A w mg The latency or delay defines how long it takes for an entire message to completely arrive at the destination from the time the first bit is sent out from the source.

However, what is very important in data communications is the product of the two, the bandwidth-delay product. © McGraw Hill, LLC 42 Example 2.12 JEDI We can think about the link between two points as a pipe. We can say that the volume of the pipe defines the bandwidth-delay product © McGraw Hill, LLC 43 Figure 2.7 Bandwidth-delay product 0 Access the text alternative for slide images. © McGraw Hill, LLC 44 if HI IN Jitter packet Another performance issue that is related to delay is jitter. We can roughly say that jitter is a problem if different packets of data encounter different delays and the application using the data at the receiver site is time-sensitive (audio and video data, for example). If the delay for the first packet is 20 ms, for the second is 45 ms, and for the third is 40 ms, then the real-time application that uses the packets endures jitter. © McGraw Hill, LLC 45 if Ms Is sad sense us mstream eFm son 2-5 MULTIPLEXING251 F I W r deCalisto Link freq deferentRange w 6 Is Is food Data binary Analog channel Ato s s g tangyt.mg is freezing 29 streams loused In real life, we have links with limited bandwidths.

This type of communication is often referred to as wireless communication. Signals are normally broadcast through free space and thus are available to anyone who has a device capable of receiving them. Figure 2.25 shows part of the electromagnetic spectrum from 3KHz to 800 THz used for wireless communication. w llss.fi b © McGraw Hill, LLC 62 Figure 2.25 Electromagnetic spectrum for wireless communication it is I xi dy s GHZ 300 400 900 KHZpag.ro Tt T GHz Issy IF HT f Access the text alternative for slide images. © McGraw Hill, LLC 63 Radio Waves miasma Although there is no clear-cut demarcation between radio waves and microwaves, electromagnetic waves ranging in frequencies between 3 kHz and 1 GHz are normally called radio waves; waves ranging in frequencies between 1 and 300 GHz are called O microwaves. However, the behavior of the waves, rather than the frequencies, is a better criterion for classification. Radio waves, for the most part, are omnidirectional. bat 1 Microwaves Radio I digits w omnidirectional C © McGraw Hill, LLC j uaIII5gtiId o 64 Microwaves Electromagnetic waves having frequencies between 1 and 300 GHz are called microwaves. Microwaves are unidirectional. When an antenna transmits microwaves, they can be narrowly focused. This a I means that the sending and receiving antennas need to be aligned. The unidirectional property has an obvious advantage. A pair of antennas can be aligned without interfering with another pair of aligned antennas. © McGraw Hill, LLC 65 Infrared Infrared waves, with frequencies from 300 GHz to 400 THz (wavelengths from 1 mm to 770 nm), can be used for short-range communication. Infrared waves, having high frequencies, cannot penetrate walls. This advantageous characteristic prevents interference between one system and another; a short-range E communication system in one room cannot be affected by another system in the next room. © McGraw Hill, LLC 66 End of Main Content Because learning changes everything.® www.mheducation.com © 2022 McGraw Hill, LLC.
