  7. Telegraph Facts • A telegraph works by sending pulses of current through a (long) wire to a remote location. • At the remote location, the received pulses are converted into a form that can be interpreted by a human operator. • The transmitter is just a switch that allows the flow of current when the switch is pressed. There are three types of symbols: • off (space) -no pulse is transmitted • short (.) a short pulse is transmitted • long (-) a long pulse is sent

  8. Morse Code A .- B -... C -.-. D -.. E . F ..-. G --. H .... I .. J .--- K -.- L .-.. M -- N -. O --- P .--. Q --.- R .-. S ... T - U ..- V ...- W .-- X -..- Y -.-- Z --.. If the duration of a dot is taken to be one unit then that of dash is three units. The space between the components of one character is one unit, between characters is three units and between words seven units.

  12. Elements of a data comm link • End stations (primary, remote) • LCU – line control unit: parallel data coming out of the processor • UART: universal asynchronous receiver transmitter: converts parallel data into serial • DCE: data communications equipment i.e. modem (modulator-demodulator) • Transmission medium: telephone line, coax cable, fiber cable, wireless, microwave, satellite link

  14. Digitized signal • each bar corresponds to a binary number • the sequence of binary numbers is transmitted through the communications link as a sequence of symbols • the time intervals between the samples are used to transmit signals of other users (this is called multiplexing) • In digital telephone system the speech signal is sampled 8,000 per second

  15. Frequency, bandwidth • IEEE defines frequency as “the number of complete cycles of sinusoidal variation per unit time” (or sinusoidal oscillation) • 1 Cycle per second = 1 Hertz = 1 Hz • 1000 cycles per second = 1000 Hz = 1kHz • 1,000,000 cycles per second = 1 MHz • 1,000,000,000 Hz = 1 GHz

  16. Frequencies 1Hz, 2, 10, 20 Hz

  17. Sine Functions • Amplitude • maximum strength of signal • Frequency • Rate of change of signal: cycles per second • Period = time for one repetition (T) • T = 1/f, where f is frequency • Phase • Relative position in angle

  18. Frequencies: examples • Acoustic frequencies: • human speech: 100 Hz to 7 kHz • ultrasounds: above 20 Khz to 1 MHz • Electromagnetic carrier frequencies: • AM radio broadcast (example) 710 kHz • FM broadcast 89 MHz- 108 MHz • TV broadcasting 150 MHz- 900 MHz • Cellular telephony ~ 1 GHz

  19. Frequency Domain Concepts • Signal has many frequencies • Components are sine functions • Fourier analysis shows that any signal is made up of component sine waves • Frequency domain functions can be plotted as “spectrum”

  20. Spectrum & Bandwidth • Spectrum is the range of frequencies contained in signal • DC Component • Component of zero frequency

  21. Data Rate and Bandwidth • Any transmission system has a limited band of frequencies • This limits the data rate that can be carried
