Communication systems (Cont..)

• Nowadays communications is essential to all sectors of


society.
• From stock market to battlefield, fast and reliable information
transmission is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
• In this era of Information Technlogy, it is believed that the
prosperity and continued development of modern nations will
depend primarily on communications.
• Communications involves transfer of information over a
distance
• Communications had its beginning in 1837 with the
• invention of the telegraph by Samuel Morse, followed by
• the invention of the telephone in 1876.

Communication systems (Cont..)

Signal
– The actual entity (electrical, optical, mechanical, etc.) that is
transmitted from sender to receiver.

Message
– knowledge that is transmitted

Information
– Knowledge communicated or received concerning some fact
or circumstance

Message and information are quite closely related.


6
Communication systems (Cont..)

scheme of a simplified communication system

• source: originates a message


• transmitter: converts the message into a signal that
can be transmitted over a channel
• Channel: transport of the signal over a certain medium
(e.g. wire, optical fiber or a radio link)
• Receiver: converts the received signal back into a
readable message
• Sink/destination: end user
7
Communication systems (Cont..)

scheme of a more detailed digital communication system

• adc (analog/digital converter): converts the physical analog signal


into a digital electronic signal
• source encoder: encodes the data in a format that removes
redundancy and irrelevant information
• modulator: adaptation of the frequency according to the channel
characteristics
• on the receiver side all transformation steps must be reversed
8
Communication systems (Cont..)

scheme of a (nearly) complete digital communication system

• channel encoder: encodes the signal pulses in a format that is required by


the channel
• protocol: controls start, end of transmission and error recovery by adding
additional bits for error detection and/or correction
• noise: inside the channel the signal is disturbed by noise

9
Communication systems (Cont..)
• In a realistic channel a signal is disturbed by:
•noise: random and unpredictable modifications of the signal amplitude
•thermal noise, caused by random movements of electrons in conductors
•external noise, caused e.g. by interference with other channels
•attenuation: the amplitude of the signal decreased caused by the
resistance of the channel

• the maximum length is restricted; amplifiers are required in certain


distances!
• distortion: the distortion depends on the frequency, different signal
frequencies suffer different signal distortion. 10

Home work
Read chapter 1 and try to remember all basic things
involved in communication systems without
confusing yourself with mathematical details.
