Lecture #5 Data Transmission Modes Definition:
Data transmission is the physical transfer of data (a digital bit stream) over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel. Communication channel is any physical media like cables etc.
Transmission Modes:
Data transmission has been categorized into two types namely Parallel and Serial Transmission. Serial transmission is further classified into Synchronous and Asynchronous Transmission.
Parallel Transmission:
1. In parallel transmission of data, all the bits of a byte are transmitted simultaneously on separate wires. 2. This type requires multiple circuits for interconnecting the two devices. 3. It is practically possible only if two devices are close to each other. 4. This diagram represents parallel transmission of an 8-bit digital data. 5. This will require 8 wires for connecting two devices.
Page 1
Advantages of Parallel transmission:

1. All the data bits will be transmitted simultaneously, so time required for transmission of N number of bits will be only one clock cycle. 2. Due to transmission in only one clock cycle, clock frequency can be kept low without affecting speed of operation.
Disadvantages of Parallel transmission:

1. Transmission of N bits will require N number of wires. 2. With increase of users these wires will be too many to handle.
Serial Transmission:
1. In serial transmission of data, all the bits of a byte are transmitted serially one after the other on same wire. 2. This type doesnt require multiple circuits for interconnecting the two devices, indeed it just requires 1 wire to connect. 3. It is practically possible in all sorts of situations close or far.
4. This diagram represents serial transmission of an 8-bit digital data. 5. This will require only one wire for connecting two devices.
Page 2
Advantages of serial transmission:

1. 2. Only one wire is required. Reduced cost due to less number of conductors.
Disadvantages of serial transmission:

1. 2. Speed of data transfer is low. To increase speed of data transfer, clock frequency needs to be increased.
Types of Serial Transmission: In data communication, Timing control of the reception of bits is important. There are two methods of timing control for reception of bits.
Asynchronous Data Transfer

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. In asynchronous transmission, the transmitter transmits data bytes at any instant of time. Only one byte is sent at a time. There is ideal time between two data bytes. Transmitter and Receiver operate at different clock frequencies. To help receiver start and stop bits are used along with data in middle. Ideal time between byte is not constant. They are also known as gaps. In asynchronous transmission timing of signal is not important.
Page 3
Advantages of asynchronous transmission:

1. Synch between devices is not necessary. 2. It is cheap scheme.
Disadvantages of synchronous transmission:

1. Use of start and stop bits and gaps between data makes transmission slow. 2. Timing error can take place.
Synchronous Data Transmission

of a common master clock.
1. In synchronous transmission, data transmission is carried out under the control 2. Bytes are transmitted as a block in a continuous stream of bits. 3. Transmitter and Receiver operate at synchronized clock frequencies. 4. No start and stop bits are used. 5. No need of ideal time between data bytes. 6. In synchronous transmission timing of signal is important.
Page 4
Advantages of asynchronous transmission:

1. Speed of data is much higher because of no start and stop bits and continuity. 2. Timing errors are reduced due to synch.
Disadvantages of synchronous transmission:

1. Accuracy of data is entirely dependent on timing. 2. Transmitter and Receiver needs to be properly synchronized.

Lecture #6 Data Transmission Media I. Introduction

On any network, the various entities must communicate through some form of media. Just as humans can communicate through telephone wires or sound waves in the air, computers can communicate through cables, light, and radio waves. Communication is possible only if information is encoded in a signal, and the signal is carried on a transmission the characteristics of the signal and of the medium both determine the quality of the communication medium.
There are two main groups of transmission media, namely the Guided Medium and the Wireless Medium / Unguided Medium. For the guided medium, there is a physical path (such as a cable) for electromagnetic wave propagation. For the wireless medium, however, the electromagnetic wave is transmitted through air, water, or vacuum.
II. Characteristics
A good transmission medium should provide communication with good quality at long distance. For voice communication, quality of communication is determined by the voice quality. For data communication, however, the quality of communication is mainly determined by the effective data rate of communication.
III. Factors Affecting Data Communication of a Medium

Communication bandwidth of the medium Interference The transmission impairments The bandwidth of a medium determines the signal frequencies that can be carried in the medium.

Attenuation Distortion during signal propagation Noises
V. Design Factors for Transmission Media

x x x x Bandwidth: All other factors remaining constant, the greater the band-width of a signal, the higher the data rate that can be achieved. Transmission impairments: Limit the distance a signal can travel. Interference: Competing signals in overlapping frequency bands can distort or wipe out a signal. Number of receivers: Each attachment introduces some attenuation and distortion, limiting distance and/or data rate.
TYPES OF TRANSMISSION MEDIA

1. Guided Media : Use a conductor such as a wire or a fiber optic cable to move the signal from sender to receiver. 2. Wireless or Unguided Media: Use radio waves of different frequencies and do not need a wire or cable conductor to transmit signals.
Guided Transmission Media

x Guided media includes everything that guides the transmission. That usually takes the form of some sort of a wire. Usually copper, but can also be an optical fiber x Transmission capacity depends on the distance and on whether the medium is point-to-point or multipoint x Examples:

o Twisted Pair Wires o Coaxial Cables o Fiber Optical Cable
A. Twisted Pair Wires

x A transmission medium consisting of pairs of twisted copper wires arranged in a regular spiral pattern to minimize the electromagnetic interference between adjacent pairs x Often used at customer facilities and also over distances to carry voice as well as data communications x x x Low frequency transmission medium We can transmit 1 Mbps over short distances (less than 100m). They are mainly used to transmit analog signals, but they can be used for digital signals.
Twisted Pair Advantages x x x Inexpensive and readily available Flexible and light weight Easy to work with and install Page 3
Twisted Pair Disadvantages x x Susceptibility to interference and noise Attenuation problem
For analog, repeaters needed every 5-6km For digital, repeaters needed every 2-3km x Relatively low bandwidth (3000Hz)
Applications x x They are used in telephone lines to provide voice and data channels. Local area networks, such as 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T also use twisted-pair cables.
B. Coaxial Cable (or Coax)

x In its simplest form, coaxial consists of a core made of solid copper surrounded by insulation, a braided metal shielding, and an outer cover. x A transmission medium consisting of thickly insulated copper wire, which can transmit a large volume of data than twisted wire. Coax Advantages x Higher bandwidth 400 to 600Mhz up to 10,800 voice conversations

C. Fiber Optic Cable

x Relatively new transmission medium used by telephone companies in place of long-distance trunk lines x x x Also used by private companies in implementing local data communications networks Require a light source with injection laser diode (ILD) or light-emitting diodes (LED) Optical fiber consists of a glass core, surrounded by a glass cladding with slightly lower refractive index. x In most networks fiber-optic cable is used as the high-speed backbone, and twisted wire and coaxial cable are used to connect the backbone to individual devices. Fiber Optic Advantages x x Greater capacity (bandwidth of up to 2 Gbps). Smaller size and lighter weight.

propagate in the sky mode , can travel long
distances .This makes Radio waves a good candidate for long distance broadcasting such as
Radio is a general term often used to encompass frequencies in the range 3 kHz to 300 GHz. Mobile telephony occupies several frequency bands just under 1 GHz. Radio waves are Omni directional.
Application x The omnidirectional characteristics of Radio waves make them useful for multicasting, in which there is one sender but many receivers. x AM and FM Radio, television, maritime radio, cordless phone, and paging are examples of multicasting.
D. Infrared
x Infrared waves, with frequencies from 300GHz-400THz can be used for short range communication. x When we use our Infrared control, we do not interfere with use of the remote by our neighbors. x We cannot use Infrared waves outside a building because the sun rays Contain Infrared waves that can interfere with communication. x x x Uses transmitters/receivers (transceivers) that modulate no coherent infrared light. Transceivers must be within line of sight of each other (directly or via reflection). Unlike microwaves, infrared does not penetrate wallshaving high frequencies.
Page 9
Application x x x
The infrared band almost 400 THz has an excellent potential for data transmission.
Such a wide bandwidth can be used to transmit digital data with a very high data rate. Infrared waves are used in communication between devices such as Keyboard, PCs and Printers.
