Asynchronous Transmission
Isochronous Transmission
Bandwidth Utilization
• Links are with limited bandwidth, need to use
bandwidth wisely.
How?
– Combine several low-bandwidth channels to one large
bandwidth.
– Expand the bandwidth of a channel.
• Bandwidth utilization techniques: Multiplexing
and spreading
• Goal of multiplexing: combine several channels
into one to achieve greater efficiency.
• Goal of Spreading- privacy and antijamming by
expanding the bandwidth of a channel and insert
redundancy.
Multiplexing
• Whenever the bandwidth of a medium linking
two devices is greater than the bandwidth
needs of the devices, the link can be shared.
• Multiplexing is the set of techniques that
allows the simultaneous transmission of
multiple signals across a single data link.
• There are three basic multiplexing techniques:
frequency-division multiplexing, wavelength-
division multiplexing, and time-division
multiplexing.
• The first two are techniques designed for
analog signals, the third, for digital signals.
Frequency Division Multiplexing
• This technique that can be applied when the
bandwidth of a link (in hertz) is greater than the
combined bandwidths of the signals to be
transmitted.
• In FDM, signals generated by each sending
device modulate different carrier frequencies.
• These modulated signals are then combined into a
single composite signal that can be transported by
the link.
• Carrier frequencies are separated by sufficient
bandwidth to accommodate the modulated signal.
• Channels can be separated by strips of unused
bandwidth-guard bands-to prevent signals
from overlapping.
Individual
Signals
Example:
• Five channels, each with a 100-kHz
bandwidth, are to be multiplexed together.
• What is the minimum bandwidth of the link if
there is a need for a guard band of 10 kHz
between the channels to prevent interference?
Soln:
• For five channels, we need at least four guard
bands. This means that the required bandwidth
is at least
5 × 100 + 4 × 10 = 540 kHz,
Applications of FDM:
• Radio broadcasting
• Television broadcasting
• Cellular telephones.
Frequency and wavelength of a signal
Solution
We can answer the questions as follows:
a. The duration of 1 bit before multiplexing is 1 / 1 kbps,
or 0.001 s (1 ms).

Interleaving
• TDM can be visualized as two fast-rotating
switches, one on the multiplexing side and the
other on the demultiplexing side.
• The switches are synchronized and rotate at
the same speed, but in opposite directions.
Empty slots
• If a source does not have data to send, the
corresponding slot in the output frame is
empty.
Data Rate Management
• One problem with TDM is how to handle a
disparity in the input data rates.
• If input data rates are not the same, three
strategies, or a combination of them, can be
used.
• multilevel multiplexing,
• multiple-slot allocation, and
• pulse stuffing.
Multilevel Multiplexing
• A technique used when the data rate of an input line is a
multiple of others.
• Two inputs of 20 kbps and three inputs of 40 kbps.
• The first two input lines can be multiplexed together to
provide a data rate equal to the last three.
• A second level of multiplexing can create an output of 160
kbps.
Multiple-Slot Allocation
• Sometimes it is more efficient to allot more than one slot in a
frame to a single input line.
• For example, there is an input line with data rate that is a
multiple of another input.
• The input line with a 5O-kbps data rate can be given two slots
in the output.
Pulse Stuffing
• Sometimes the bit rates of sources are not multiple integers of
each other.
Solution
The middle of the bandwidth is located at 250 kHz. This
means that our carrier frequency can be at fc = 250 kHz.
We can use the formula for bandwidth to find the bit rate
(with d = 1 and r = 1).

Multilevel ASK
• Multilevel ASK there are more than two levels.
• 4, 8, 16, or more different amplitudes for the
signal and modulate the data using 2, 3, 4, or
more bits at a time.
• In these cases, r = 2, r = 3, r = 4, and so on.
Frequency Shift Keying
• In frequency shift keying, the frequency of the
carrier signal is varied to represent data.
• The frequency of the modulated signal is
constant for the duration of one signal element,
but changes for the next signal element if the
data element changes.
• Both peak amplitude and phase remain
constant for all signal elements.
Binary FSK (BFSK)
• Binary FSK (or BFSK) uses two carrier frequencies.
• First carrier is used if the data element is 0; the
second if the data element is 1.
• The carrier frequencies are very high, and the
difference between them is very small.
FSK Transmitter
Bandwidth for BFSK
• FSK is two ASK signals, each with its own carrier
frequencies(f1 and f2)
• If the difference between the two frequencies is 2Δf,
then the required bandwidth is:
B= (1+d) *S + 2Δf
Minimum value for 2Δf
• Greater than (1 + d )S.
• Should be at least S for the proper operation of
modulation and demodulation.
Example

Phase Shift Keying
• In phase shift keying, the phase of the carrier is
varied to represent two or more different signal
elements.
• Both peak amplitude and frequency remain
constant as the phase changes.
• PSK is more common than ASK or FSK.
Binary PSK (BPSK)
• The simplest PSK . Two signal elements, one
with a phase of 0°, and the other with a phase
of 180°.
Advantages of PSK over ASK and FSK
• Less susceptible to noise- The noise changes
the amplitude easily.
• PSK does not need two carrier frequencies.

c. Coaxial Cable –

connectors)
There are two types of Coaxial cables :
BaseBand
• This is a 50 ohm (Ω) coaxial cable which is used for digital
transmission.
• It is mostly used for LAN's.
• Baseband transmits a single signal at a time with very high
speed.
• The major drawback is that it needs amplification after
every 1000 feet.
BroadBand
• This uses analog transmission on standard cable television
cabling.
• It transmits several simultaneous signal using different
frequencies.
• It covers large area when compared with Baseband Coaxial
Cable.
Advantages :
• Bandwidth is high
• Used in long distance telephone lines.
• Transmits digital signals at a very high rate of 10Mbps.
• Much higher noise immunity
• Data transmission without distortion.
• The can span to longer distance at higher speeds as they
have better shielding when compared to twisted pair
cable
Disadvantages :
• Single cable failure can fail the entire network.
• Difficult to install and expensive when compared with
twisted pair.
• If the shield is imperfect, it can lead to grounded loop.
Applications
• Coaxial cable was widely used in analog
telephone networks where a single coaxial
network could carry 10,000 voice signals.
• Cable TV networks.
• Ethernet LANs- 10Base2(Thin Ethernet) and
10Base5(Thick Ethernet)
Fibre-Optic Cable
• A fiber-optic cable is made of glass or plastic
and transmits signals in the form of light.
• Property of Light: Light ray changes its
direction when it enters into another substance
of different density.
• Optical fibers use reflection to guide light
through a channel.
• A glass or plastic core is surrounded by a
cladding of less dense glass or plastic.
• The light is “guided” down the center of the
fiber called the “core”.
• The core is surrounded
by a optical material
called the “cladding”
that traps the light
in the core using an optical technique called
“total internal reflection.”
• The difference in density of the two materials
– core and cladding is such that a beam of light
moving through the core is reflected off the
cladding instead of being refracted into it.
Propagation modes
• Fiber-optic cable has two propagation modes:
multimode and single mode.
• The performance is different with respect to
both attenuation and time dispersion.
Single Mode Fiber Optic Cable
• Single Mode fiber optic cable
has a small diametric core
that allows only one mode of
light to propagate.
• The number of light reflections created as the
light passes through the core decreases, lowering
attenuation and creating the ability for the signal
to travel further.
• This application is typically used in long distance
with higher bandwidth.
• The core to cladding diameter ratio is 9 microns
to 125 microns.
