CHAPTER 11 Digital Data Transmission

This chapter discusses digital data transmission. It explains that most communication applications transmit digital data over networks, so effective methods for transferring, converting, and receiving digital data are needed. It also discusses early digital codes like Morse code and Baudot code. Finally, it covers topics like baud rate, information theory, modems, transmission errors, and communication protocols.

CHAPTER 11

Digital Data Transmission

Over networking networks, most communications applications transmit digital

data. As a consequence, effective digital data transfer, conversion, and reception

methods are needed. The sum of digital data that can be transmitted is proportional to

the contact channel's bandwidth and transmitting time, much as it is for analog data.

Computers can process and store numerical (e.g., financial statements, spreadsheets,

and stock quotes) or text data (e.g., letters, memos, reports, and books). As previously

said, computerized data is represented by digital signals rather than analog signals.

Digital codes were used to represent data even before the invention of computers.

Samuel Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, devised the first visual code. The

Morse code was created for wired telegraph correspondence, but it was later modified

for radio transmission. It is made up of a sequence of "dots" and "dashes" that signify

alphabet letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. The Baudot (pronounced baw-

dough) code, which was used in the early teletype machine to transmit and receive

coded signals over a contact channel, was another early binary data code. The

American Standard Language for Information Interchange (abbreviated ASCII and

pronounced ass-key) is the most commonly used data communication code, which can

represent 128 numbers, letters, punctuation marks, and other symbols.


Baud rate is the measurement of data speed in optical communication networks.

The number of signaling elements or symbols that appear in a given unit of time, such

as one second, is referred to as the Baud rate. A signaling element is nothing more than

a shift in the binary signal sent. In certain cases, the baud rate is equal to the data rate

in bits per second due to a binary logic voltage level transition, either 0 or 1. In a

nutshell, the baud rate is equal to the inverse of the shortest signaling time. The basic

subject matter in a field known as information theory is transmission quality, which

refers to the precision and speed at which information is transmitted and received over

communication channels, whether voice or video, analog or digital. Information theories

attempt to calculate the probability that a given volume of data can be distributed

correctly under a given set of conditions (e.g., medium, bandwidth, propagation speed,

noise, and distortion).

A modem, also known as a modulator-demodulator, is a piece of equipment that

converts a digital baseband signal to a higher transmission frequency that is best

matched to the transmission medium. Digital data, for example, is incompatible with the

twisted-pair cable used in telecommunications networks. The available bandwidth is

insufficient. Modulating the data into a carrier, on the other hand, allows the data to be

transmitted over a channel that was initially programmed for analog voice. Modems

work with a variety of cables, including telephone lines and cable TV coaxial cables.

And modems may be radio-based, in which case they relay data wirelessly.

Errors will arise as high-speed binary data is transmitted over a transmission

channel, whether it is a cable or a radio. Interference, noise, or device malfunctions

induce variations in the bit pattern, resulting in these errors. As a result of these
mistakes, inaccurate data will be obtained. Bit error detection and correction systems

have been designed to ensure efficient communication. Protocols are set of rules and

procedures that guarantee consistency between the sender and receiver of serial digital

data, regardless of the hardware or software in use. They are used to mark the

beginning and end of a packet, the sender and recipient, the number of bytes to be

sent, the error detecting process, and other features. In data exchange, different

protocols and levels of protocols are used.
