Lesson Objectives
Understand the basic concept of communications Understand the electronic implementation of communications Identify Properties of signals and types of signals
Communication Medium
Lets consider that you are communicating with some one by means of voice. Does it make any sense if you are in a vacuum? Can you explain why?

At the end of a successful communication what are we acquiring? Its nothing but exchange of information
12
You dont need to (or cant) keep whole universe in you mind, but get its portions whenever you need In a company, it does not need to empower all employees with all information it has. Instead exchange information among them Not only personnels but also among the physical resources which will reduce the cost per information, persons and equipments

Magnetic Storage
More static, even after the computer switched off Method to keep for future use
Hard Disks Floppy Disks Magnetic Tapes
17
Optical storage
The word "optical" came with the method it used to store and retrieve data To write and read the data it uses laser beam
Compact Disks (CDs) Digital Video Disks (DVDs)

To avoid this traveling delay we can use very fast transmitting method. Can use signal over a medium to transfer data from one place to another. Use of signals over a medium

Introduction to signals
A signal is generated by changing the strength of a particular form of energy with respect to time on a suitable medium Form of energy can be
Electrical Light Electromagnetic
23
Analog signal
An analog signal continuously changes, taking on values throughout the range of possible values In the number world real numbers are good example for continuity You may find a number in-between any two numbers Sine wave is a good representation for analog signal
24
Digital Signal
Digital signal changes from one state to another almost instantaneously with out stopping inbetween state In the number world integers are good example for discreteness Unlike real numbers, you will not get any number in-between adjacent two integers.

Amplitude
Amplitude can be given as maximum displacement of an oscillation from the equilibrium position The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave A high energy wave is characterized by high amplitude A low energy wave is characterized by low amplitude
Amplitude
27
Frequency
Frequency means how frequent For example if someone asks How frequently are you visiting cinema It explains the number of time that you are visiting cinema (Say per month or per any unit time) In other words, how often something happens We normally explain frequency by how many times something happens per second in computer world
28
Frequency contd.
The number of Oscillations per second of a wave is called its frequency The unit for the frequency is Hertz Completing of one cycle in 1 second is equal to 1 Hz and 60 cycles per second equals to 60 Hz
Frequency
Amp-Freq
29
Phase
In electronic signaling, phase is a definition of the position of a point in time on a waveform cycle A complete cycle is defined as 360 degrees of phase Phase can also be an expression of relative displacement between or among waves having the same frequency
Phase Amp-Freq-Phase Another Tool

Fourier Analysis
Any reasonably behaved periodic function g(t) with period T can be constructed as the sum of a number of sines and cosines
f=1/T - the fundamental frequency an, bn - the sine and cosine amplitudes of the nth harmonics c - a constant

Above a certain frequency (fc - cutoff frequency) no Fourier components will pass through the medium Up to a certain frequency level amplitudes that are transmitted, undiminished This frequency level is called cutoff frequency (fc) and above this fc amplitudes will be attenuated very strongly Generally 0-fc frequency range is called the bandwidth of a channel But remember!!! in some cases value of fc will be defined as a physical property of the transmission medium and in the other cases it is intentionally introduced so that the same physical medium can be divided up into a number of independent low bandwidth channels
