  1. Fundamentals of Telecommunication • ICT – TE - BVF- 4.1 • Hassan Mesfer ICT-TE-7 TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 1

  2. Lecture 3 Transmission Media TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 2

  3. Overview • Physical path between transmitter and receiver • Guided - wire • Unguided - wireless • Characteristics and quality of a data transmission determined by medium and signal • For guided, the medium is more important • For unguided, the bandwidth produced by the antenna is more important (directionality) • In designing of data transmission systems • Key concerns are data rate and distance (greater better) TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 3

  4. Design Factors • Bandwidth • Higher bandwidth gives higher data rate • Transmission impairments • Attenuation, limits the distance • Interference • From competing signals in overlapping frequency bands • Number of receivers • In guided media • More receivers (multi-point) introduce more attenuation TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 4

  5. Electromagnetic Spectrum

  6. Guided Transmission Media • Twisted Pair • Coaxial cable • Optical fiber • The transmission capacity depends on: • Distance • Point-to-point or multipoint TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 6

  8. Unshielded Twisted-Pair Cable • Unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP) is a four-pair wire medium • Each of the 8 individual copper wires in the UTP cable is covered by insulating material. • In addition, each pair of wires is twisted around each other. • This type of cable relies solely on the cancellation effect produced by the twisted wire pairs, to limit signal degradation caused by EMI and RFI. • CAT 5e is the one most frequently recommended and implemented in installations today.

  10. UTP Pros and Cons • Unshielded twisted-pair cable has many advantages. • It is easy to install • Less expensive than other types of networking media. • However, the real advantage is the size. • Small external diameter, UTP does not fill up wiring ducts as rapidly as other types of cable. • Disandvantages: • Low data rate • Short range TTC Riyadh, ICT - BVF – 4.1

  11. Unshielded Twisted Pair TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 11

  12. Twisted Pair - Applications • Most common • Telephone network • Between house and local exchange (subscriber loop) • Within buildings • To private branch exchange (PBX) • For local area networks (LAN) • 10Mbps or 100Mbps TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 12

  13. Twisted Pair - Transmission Characteristics • Analog • Amplifiers every 5km to 6km • Digital • Use either analog or digital signals • Repeater every 2km or 3km • Limited distance • Limited bandwidth (1MHz) • Limited data rate (100MHz) • Susceptible to interference and noise TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 13

  14. Near End Crosstalk • Coupling of signal from one pair to another • Coupling takes place when transmit signal entering the link couples back to receiving pair • i.e. near transmitted signal is picked up by near receiving pair TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 14

  15. UTP Categories • Cat 3 • Up to 16MHz • Voice grade found in most offices • Twist length of 7.5 cm to 10 cm • Cat 4 • Up to 20 MHz • Cat 5 • Up to 100MHz • Commonly pre-installed in new office buildings • Twist length 0.6 cm to 0.85 cm • Cat 5E (Enhanced) • Cat 6 - up to 200MHz • Cat 7 - up to 600MHz TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 15

  16. Shielded Twisted-Pair Cable Shielded twisted-pair cable (STP) combines the techniques of shielding, cancellation, and twisting of wires. Each pair of wires is wrapped in metallic foil. The four pairs of wires are wrapped in an overall metallic braid or foil. STP affords greater protection from all types of external interference, but is more expensive and difficult to install than UTP. The metallic shielding materials in STP need to be grounded at both ends. TTC Riyadh, ICT - BVF - 4.1

  18. Unshielded and Shielded TP • Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) • Ordinary telephone wire • Cheapest • Easiest to install • Suffers from external EM interference • Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) • Metal braid or sheathing that reduces interference • More expensive • Harder to handle (thick, heavy) TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 22/08/2014 18

  19. Coaxial Cable Coaxial Cable consists of a hollow outer cylindrical conductor that surrounds a single inner wire made of two conducting elements. One of these elements, located in the center of the cable, is a copper conductor. Surrounding the copper conductor is a layer of flexible insulation. Over this insulating material is a copper braid or metallic foil that acts as the second wire in the circuit and as a shield for the inner conductor. TTC Riyadh, ICT - BVF – 4.1
