  11. Sine Wave The general sine wave can be written: s(t) = A sin(2ft +) Can be represented by three parameters: • Peak Amplitude (A) • maximum strength of signal • volts • Frequency (f) • Rate of change of signal or repeats • Hertz (Hz) or cycles per second • Period T = time for one repetition • T = 1/f • Phase () • Relative position in time TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 11

  23. System Transfer Function (3) • Nowlet x(t) beanysignalwithspectrum X(f), appliedattheinputofthesystemwith a transferfunction H(f) x(t) y(t) X(f) Y(f) • The spectrum Y(f) oftheoutputsignal y(t) will be: Y(f) = H(f)X(f). . . . . .

  24. Spectrum & Bandwidth • Spectrum • Range of frequencies contained in signal (f to 3f, previous example) • Absolute bandwidth • Width of spectrum (3f – f = 2f, previous example periodic signal) • Aperiodic signals have infinite bandwidth • Effective bandwidth • Narrow band of frequencies containing most of the energy • Often just bandwidth • DC or constant component • Component of zero frequency • No DC component, average amplitude of the signal is zero TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 24

  25.

  30. Analog Signals Carrying Analog and Digital Data TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 30

  31. Digital Signals Carrying Analog and Digital Data TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 31

  32. Analog Transmission • Analog signal transmitted without regard to content • May be analog data (e.g. voice) or digital data (e.g. binary) • Attenuated over distance • Use amplifiers to boost signal for longer distances • Also amplifies noise (accumulative feature) • With amplifiers cascaded, longer distance, more distorted • For analog data (e.g. voice) a bit distortion is tolerated • For digital data, cascade amplifiers introduce errors TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 32

  33. Digital Transmission • Concerned with content (1 or 0) • Transmission only over a limited distance • Integrity destroyed by noise, attenuation etc. • For greater distance repeaters used • Repeater receives signal • Extracts bit pattern • Retransmits (regenerates pulses) • Attenuation is overcome • Noise is not amplified • The same technique may be used for • Analog signals carrying digital data • Repeater recovers digital data from analog signal • Generates new clean analog signal • Noise is not cumulative TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 33

  34. Advantages of Digital Transmission • Which is the preferred technology of transmission? • Answer of telecommunication industry and customers – Digital • The most important reasons: • Digital technology • Low cost LSI/VLSI technology • Data integrity • Longer distances over lower quality lines • Capacity utilization • High bandwidth links economical • High degree of multiplexing easier with digital techniques • Security & Privacy • Encryption • Integration • Can treat analog and digital data similarly TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 34

  35. Disadvantages of Digital Transmission • Digital signals need infinite frequencies for perfect transmission • Greater attenuation • Pulses become rounded and smaller • Leads to loss of information Attenuation of Digital Signals TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 35

  36. Transmission Impairments (1) • Signal received may differ from signal transmitted • Analog – degradation (signal shape) of signal quality • Digital - bit errors • Caused by • Attenuation and attenuation distortion • Delay distortion • Noise TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 36

  37. Transmission Impairments (2) Attenuation: • Signal strength falls off with distance • Depends on medium • Received signal strength: • must be enough to be detected • must be sufficiently higher than noise to be received without error • Attenuation is an increasing function of frequency Delay Distortion • Only in guided media • Propagation velocity varies with frequency TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 37

  38. Noise (1) • Additional signals inserted between transmitter and receiver • Divideds into four categories: • Thermal; Intermodulation; Crosstalk; Impulse • Thermal • Due to thermal agitation of electrons • Uniformly distributed • White noise • Intermodulation • Signals that are the sum and difference of original frequencies sharing a medium TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 38

  39. Noise (2) • Crosstalk • A signal from one line is picked up by another • Impulse • Irregular pulses or spikes • e.g. External electromagnetic interference • Short duration • High amplitude TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 39

  40. Noise (3) • Amount of thermal noise in a bandwidth of 1 Hz in any device or conductor is: N0 = KT (W/Hz) N0 - noise power density in watts per 1 Hz bandwidth k - Boltzmann‘sconstant - 1.38 x 10-23 J/K T – temperature, in kelvins (absolute temperature) Find N0assumingroomtemperature T = 17 0 C Result: N = -204 dBW/Hz TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 40

  41. Noise (4) • Thermal noise is assumed to be independent of frequency – white noise • Thermal noise in a bandwidth of B can be expressed as N = kTB or in decibel-watts N = 10logk + 10logT + 10logB = -228,6 dBW + 10logT + 10logB k - Boltzmann‘sconstant 0 1.38 x 10-23 J/K T – temperature, in kelvins (absolute temperature) Example: Given an receiverwithnoisetemperatureof 294 K and a 10 MHz bandwidth, find thermal noiseatreceiver‘soutput Result: N = -133,9 dBW TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 41

  42. Channel Capacity Four concepts related to one another: • Data rate • In bits per second • Rate at which data can be transmitted • Bandwidth of the signal • In cycles per second or Hertz • Depends on the type of the signal • Constrained by the transmitter and nature of the transmission medium • Noise • Average level of noise over the communication path • Error rate • Rate at which errors occur • Reception of 1 when 0 is transmitted and vice versa TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 42

  43. Data Rate and Bandwidth • Any transmission system has a limited band of frequencies • This limits the data rate that can be carried Example: • Consider the waveform of the binary stream 01010… • Positive pulse represent binary 0, negative pulse binary 1 • Duration of each pulse is 1/(2f), data rate is 2f bits/s • What are the important frequency components of this signal?

  44. Data Rate andBandwidth • To answer the questioin consider this figure:

  45. Nyquist Bandwidth (1) • Channel noise free • Given bandwidth B, highest signal rate is 2B • Given binary signal, data rate supported by B Hz is 2B bit/s • Doubling the bandwidth doubles the data rate • Data rate can be increased by using M signal levels C = 2B log2M TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 45

  46. Nyquist Bandwidth (2) Example: Voice channel is used to transmit digital data • What is the capacity C of the channel? • Solution: Assume a bandwidth of 3100 Hz and binary signal • C = 2B = 6200 bit/s • If we use signal with 8 voltage levels, what will be the capacity C ? • Result: 18.600 bit/s TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 46

  47. Shannon Capacity Formula (1) • Consider the relationship among data rate, noise and error rate • Faster data rate shortens each bit so burst of noise affects more bits • At given noise level, high data rate means higher error rate • The key parameter is signal to noise ratio S/N or SNR (in decibels) • SNRdb=10 log10 (signal power/noise power) • Amount in decibels intended signal exceeds noise level • High S/N means high-quality signal, less intermediate repeaters • Very important in digital transmission, upper limit bound for data rate • Shannon’s result: theoretical maximum channel capacity C = B log2(1+SNR) • This is error free capacity TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 47

  48. Shannon Capacity Formula (2) Example: Nyquist and Shannon capacity • Bandwidth of a channel is between 3 MHz and 4 MHz and S/N = 24 dB. What is channel capacity? Solution: B = 4 MHz - 3 MHz = 1 MHz S/N = 24 dB = 10 log10 (S/N) S/N = 251 Using Shannon’s formula: C = B log2(1+SNR) = 106 x log2(1+251) = 106 x 8 = 8 Mbit/s Based on Nyquist’s formula, how many signal levels are required? C = 2B log2M = 8 x 106 = 2 x 106 x log2M log2M = 4 > M = 16 TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 48

  49. Asynchronous and Synchronous Transmission • Timing problems require a mechanism to synchronize the transmitter and receiver • Two solutions • Asynchronous • Synchronous TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 49

  50. Asynchronous Transmission (1) • Data transmitted one character at a time • 5 to 8 bits • Timing only needs maintaining within each character • Resynchronize with each character TTC Riyadh, ICT–BVF–4.1 04/10/2014 50
