Chapter # 2 Telecommunication Transmission

Introduction
Transmission system provide link between nodes Information carried by them is classified as: Analog (varying signal e.g. ?) Digital (discrete values e.g. ?)

Bandwidth
Digital system (bits per sec vs bauds per sec) Analog system (range of frequency which can be carried by a channel i.e. (Fh-FL)

Introduction
Analog signal can be transmitted over analog or digital channel e.g. ? Digital signal can be transmitted over digital or analog channel e.g. ? Advantage of digital signal over analog signal is immunity to noise and ease of detection Disadvantage of digital signal is ?

Introduction
If the capacity of link is more then the requirement of signal to be transmitted then it can be shared between users At sender side signals of users are combined to make composite signal with wider bandwidth also called broad band channel or bearer channel i.e. multiplexing At receiver side they are separated i.e. demultiplexing Two main techniques used for this purpose are : FDM (Spatial sharing) TDM (Temporal sharing)

Decibels (dB)
It is ratio of two electrical quantities such as watt, volts and amperes If we pass a signal through a device then it will suffer loss or achieve gain Input Signal Output Signal Ratio = Output / Input
If O/P is > I/P then Gain If O/P is < I/P then Loss Gain is represented by + Loss is represented by -

Decibel (dB)
It was invented by Bell telecomm USA Input >-- Amp #1 --- Amp #2 --> Output A1 = 275 .. A2 = 55 In the example, the total gain factor At = 275 x 55 = 15,125 Aim was to use logs for ease of calculation i.e. Log A1 + log A2 thus bell was introduced i.e. gain in Bell = Log A Using Bels meant working to at least two decimal places rounding things off to one decimal place, meant introducing error since 4.179 bels is a power gain of 15,101 while 4.2 bels is a power gain of 15,849, yielding an error of about 5%. Solution was to express power gain in units which were equal to one-tenth of a Bel, or in decibels. This simply meant that the gain in Bels would be multiplied by 10 i.e. Gain in decibels (dB) = 10 log A

Decibel (dB)
Useful Rules for calculations in dB : Log is exponent thus : Log 1(10 0) = 0 Log 10(10 1) = 1 Log 100(10 2) = 2 Log 1000(10 3) = 3 Log 1/10(10 -1) = -1 Log 1/100(10 -2) = -2 Log 1/1000(10 -3) = -3

Double / Half increase of power is represented by +/-3 dB


6mw +9db o/p in mw ? 15mw +7db o/p in mw ?

dBm & dBW


dBm is decibel value with reference to one milliwatt (1 mw) dBw is decibel value with reference to one watt (1 W) dBm = 10 log (P / 1 mw) dBW = 10 log (P / 1 W)
1 mW = ? dBm 1 W = ? dBW +30 dBm = ? dBW = ? W -30 dBW = ? dBm = ? mW

dB for Voltage/ Current


P =V I P = I 2/ R P =V 2 /R If resistance of circuit is constant then dB will be defined as : 10 Log (output V/ input V) 2 OR 10 Log (output I/ input I) 2 20 Log (output V/ input V) or 20 Log (output I/ input I)

dBr
It is relative level of signal at any point with respect to reference point It would be algebraic sum of gains and losses between that point and reference point dBmo = dBm (Absolute level) dBr (Reference level)

2 to 4 Wire Conversion
Telephone sets are 4 wire devices i.e. 2 wires for microphone and two wires for ear phone but extension of 4 wires from subscriber to exchange is not cost effective solution therefore 2 wires are used The connection between exchanges is 4 wire as all the repeaters are unidirectional We need a device for conversion of 4 wires signals to 2 wire and vice versa A Hybrid Transformer is used to convert a 2-wire circuit to a 4-wire system Hybrid provides isolation between send and receive path

Receive Amplifier

Working of Hybrid
Output from receive amplifier causes equal voltage to be induced in secondary windings of T1 Matching NW winding are connected in opposite Thus equal but opposite current flows in secondary of T2 If impedance is exactly matched then nothing will be coupled to transmit path Input power has been equally shared by 2-wire and matching NW i.e. 3 db loss has occurred Once signal is applied from 2 wire side again power will be equally divided between send and receive amplifier i.e. 3db loss

Echo
If impedance matching NW impedance dose not matches with impedance of 2 wire then part of received signal will be coupled/reflected back to sender through trans path This reflected energy is called echo and it can be classified as : Talker echo :- when talker hears his/her own :voice Listener echo :- when listener hears talkers :voice twice Talker echo is more troublesome as it is louder

Listener/Talker Echo
Talker Be+6dB Listener

Talker Echo:

Listener Echo:

Loss = Be + 2L

Loss = 2Be + 2L

Echo
Effect of echo depends on relative echo level and on the delay
The stronger the echo and the longer the delay, the more troublesome the echo

The echo can be controlled by


Adding loss on 4 wire side Improving hybrid return loss Reducing gain of amplifiers

Echo
There is a limit to which the loss of connection can be increased Increasing further loss will decrease loudness of signal Maximum value set for this is normally 40 ms
Loss (dB)

Return trip delay (ms)

Echo
For longer circuits echo suppressors or echo cancellers are used Echo suppressor is fitted in one path of 4 wire & is operated by speech signals of other side Echo canceller echo canceller employs a digital adaptive filter to set up a model or characterization of the voice signal As a voice path passes back through the cancellation system, the echo canceller compares the signal and the model to cancel existing echo dynamically

Stability
If the balance return loss is small and gain is high then net gain may exceed 0 and singing will occur Singing can be regarded as excessive echo

Reflection (ZB { ZL)

Stability
The net loss of singing path Ls = 2 (B + Lp) where B is balance return loss due to reflection at hybrid and Lp is sum of losses between 2-W to 2-W ZB  ZL Thus singing path loss equals B ! 20log

Multiplexing
n Lines share bandwidth of one link Multiplexer combines n inputs into single stream (many to one) De multiplexer separates them back in to individual components (one to many) Channel carries stream

FDM
Signal generated by each device modulate different carrier frequencies Modulated signals are then combined into one composite signal Channels are separated by unused bandwidth called guard bands

FDM (MUX)

FDM (De - MUX)

FDM
Assume that a voice channel occupies a bandwidth of 4 KHz. We need to combine three voice channels into a link with a bandwidth of 12 KHz, from 20 to 32 KHz. Show the configuration using the frequency domain without the use of guard bands.

Non Uniform Quantization


Quantization steps can be uniform or non uniform Uniform quantization will work well with large amplitude signal Small amplitude signal will only range over few steps and result into more quantization error Solution is to use small steps for small input signal and large steps for large input signals i.e. companding Two standard laws for non uniform quantization are A Law and mu Law

PCM (Sampling Frequency)

PCM Primary Multiplex group


Telephone channels are combined using TDM to form 30 channel or 24 channels called primary multiplex channels Building block for making higher mux blocks i.e. PDH or SDH Length of frame is 125 micro sec One speech sample for each channel & additional digits for signalling / synchronization Two widely used standards are: 30 channel E-1 system in Europe 24 channel T-1 system in USA/Japan

E -1 (30 Channels)
We have total of 32 channels Channel # 0 is used for synchronization/frame alignment Channel # 16 is used to carry signalling information Total bit rate would be 8000 x 8 x 32 = 2.048 Mbit/s

T -1 (24 Channels)
We have total of 24 channels First bit is used for frame alignment 24 (eight bit) Channels are used to carry speech information Total bit rate would be 8000 x (8 x 24 +1) = 1.544 Mbit/s

T 1 (24 Channels)

PDH (Plesiochronous digital hierarchy)


Plesio- means almost but truth is that each PDH island has its own clock First digital multiplexing network Based on 64kbps PCM encoded speech Transmission lines with 24 or 32 time slots ITU-T recommendation G.702/703

PDH

PDH Frame
Bit interleaving is used which dose not allow Add/Drop facility Overhead bits are used for two purposes : Frame alignment (E-1/Block,T-1/Distributed) Justification (If I/P rate is slow then justification bits added)

SDH (Synchronous digital hierarchy)


Motivations
Digital networks high degree of flexibility; various bit rates can be combined in one trunk circuit truly worldwide standard

ITU introduced SDH multiplexing hierarchy Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) is American version of the ITU (SDH) SDH composite bit rates are chosen to be identical to three of the eight lower SONET bit rates These bit rates have become worldwide the most widely used ones

SDH (Synchronous digital hierarchy)


SONET can take payload of north American PDH hierarchy (1.5/6/45 Mbps + 2 Mbps) with in 51.84Mbps SDH std defined 1.5/2/6/34/45/140 Mbps with in 155.52 Mbps Primarily for Fiber Optics but now it supports radio also

SONET (Synchronous Optical NW)

SDH (Synchronous digital hierarchy)


SDH frame consist of 9 equal length segments It is depicted as 9 rows containing 270 columns where each column size is one byte First nine bytes of each segment (SOH, section overhead) are used for overhead like framing , error monitoring etc Rest 261 columns carry payload The basic frame is known as STM-1(Synronous transport module 1)and consists of 2430 bytes Rest of the levels are multiple of 4 Data Rate? Each column contains 9 bytes (rows) , with each byte having 64 kbps capacity
Three columns can hold 1.5 Mbps Four columns can hold 2 Mbps STM -1 can hold 6/45 American or 8/34/140 rates European 6 Mbps ?

SDH (Synchronous digital hierarchy)

SDH (Multiplexing Scheme)


Bytes from tributaries are assembled into container and path overhead is added to make virtual container VC travels through NW as one package until it is demultiplexed A pointer may be added with VC to give its starting point this pointer + VC are called TU (Tributary Unit) STM-1 can contain # of TU s TU s or VC s are then placed inside AU (Administrative Units) STM-1 data are simply byte interleaved with other STM-1 data streams to make up a higher transmission data rate The de-multiplexer receives all STM-1 frames independently

Overall Loudness Rating (OLR)


Loss accumulated from speakers mouth and listeners ear Because of 4 wire conversion there is a need to introduce some loss to avoid singing if # of 4 wire conversions increase then it can effect OLR therefore maximum allowable loss is given by formula L = 4 + 0.5 n dB where n is # of 4 wires in tandem OLR = SLR + CLR + RLR

Digital Transmission
Digital transmission links impairment : Bit error rate (percentage of bits with errors relative to total number of transmitted bits) Slip (loss of consecutive digits due to failure of sync) Jitter (short-term variations of digital signal from their ideal positions in time) Wander (long-term variations of digital signal from their ideal positions in time )
Errored second (ES) An errored second is any second in which one or more bits are in error Severely errored second (SES) A severely errored second has an error rate of 10-3 or higher Degraded minutes A degraded minute (DM) occurs when there is a 10 -6 or worse bit error rate during 60 seconds

Digital Transmission Performance Parameters


Degraded minutes - should be < 10% Severely erroded seconds should be < 0.2% Erroded seconds (seconds with at least one error) should be < 8%
