6. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Telecomm Trends (2006) 2006: Tech winners and losers The best and worst tech performers in the S&P 500 this year. By Grace Wong, CNNMoney.com staff writerGrace Wong December 14 2006: 12:02 PM EST NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Nvidia tops the list for best performing tech stock in the S&P 500 this year. With a gain of 98 percent as of Wednesday, the graphics chip maker led the winners in 2006. More on tech's biggest winners and losers Software companies Cognizant Technology Solutions (Charts) and BMC Software (Charts) are also among the top 5 performing stocks - as is heavyweight Cisco Systems (Charts), which has climbed 59 percent so far this year.Cognizant Technology SolutionsChartsBMC SoftwareChartsCisco SystemsCharts On the other end of the spectrum, chipmaker AMD (Charts) has struggled as has Internet giant Yahoo (Charts). The worst performing tech stock of the year?

10. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Decisions, decisions….. I live in the Philadelphia metro area. What cell-phone carrier should I choose? Verizon, Cingular, T-Mobile, ……? I’m designing the next generation microprocessor. It’s going to be connected to Internet2. How do I design the right size the memory buffer? I’m designing the remote navigation for the Mars Rover. What’s the right bandwidth/data rate for control signal transmission?

11. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University What is a communications system? Communications Systems: Systems designed to transmit and receive information Info Source Info Source Info Sink Info Sink Comm System

12. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Block Diagram Receiver Rx received message to sink Transmitter Tx s(t) transmitted signal Channel r(t) received signal m(t) message from source Info Source Info Source Info Sink Info Sink n(t) noise

13. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University What limits our ability to communicate? NOISE!!!!! Noise: an unwanted, random fluctuation in the signal Without the effects of noise, a message with infinitesimally small power could be transmitted over infinitely large distances ALL advances in communications technology are advances to combat the effects of noise

14. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Fundamental Limit: Shannon’s Theorem (1948,1949) Theoretical limit for error-free transmission in a communications system in the presence of noise Source Data Rate: R [bits/sec] Channel Capacity: C = B log 2 (1 + S/N) [bits/sec] R < C: No Error!!!
