Communication Systems WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM Communication Systems Transmitter The transmitter is a collection of electronic components and circuits that converts the electrical signal into a signal suitable for transmission over a given medium. Transmitters are made up of oscillators, amplifiers, tuned circuits and filters, modulators, frequency mixers, frequency synthesizers, and other circuits. WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

Communication Systems Communication Channel The communication channel is the medium by which the electronic signal is sent from one place to another. Types of media include Electrical conductors Optical media Free space System-specific media (e.g., water is the medium for sonar). WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

Communication Systems Receivers A receiver is a collection of electronic components and circuits that accepts the transmitted message from the channel and converts it back into a form understandable by humans. Receivers contain amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, tuned circuits and filters, and a demodulator or detector that recovers the original intelligence signal from the modulated carrier.

Types of Electronic Communication Electronic communications are classified according to whether they are One-way (simplex) or two-way (full duplex or half duplex) transmissions Analog or digital signals. WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

Types of Electronic Communication Simplex The simplest method of electronic communication is referred to as simplex. This type of communication is one-way. Examples are: Radio TV broadcasting Beeper (personal receiver) WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

Types of Electronic Communication Full Duplex Most electronic communication is two-way and is referred to as duplex. When people can talk and listen simultaneously, it is called full duplex. The telephone is an example of this type of communication. WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

Types of Electronic Communication Half Duplex The form of two-way communication in which only one party transmits at a time is known as half duplex. Examples are: Police, military, etc. radio transmissions Citizen band (CB) Family radio Amateur radio WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

Types of Electronic Communication Analog Signals An analog signal is a smoothly and continuously varying voltage or current. Examples are: Sine wave Voice Video (TV) WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

Types of Electronic Communication Digital Signals Many transmissions are of signals that originate in digital form but must be converted to analog form to match the transmission medium. Digital data over the telephone network. Analog signals. They are first digitized with an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The data can then be transmitted and processed by computers and other digital circuits. WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

Modulation and Multiplexing Modulation and multiplexing are electronic techniques for transmitting information efficiently from one place to another. Modulation makes the information signal more compatible with the medium. Multiplexing allows more than one signal to be transmitted concurrently over a single medium. WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

Modulation and Multiplexing Broadband Transmission A carrier is a high frequency signal that is modulated by audio, video, or data. A radio-frequency (RF) wave is an electromagnetic signal that is able to travel long distances through space. WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

Modulation and Multiplexing Broadband Transmission A broadband transmission takes place when a carrier signal is modulated, amplified, and sent to the antenna for transmission. The two most common methods of modulation are: Amplitude Modulation (AM) Frequency Modulation (FM) Another method is called phase modulation (PM), in which the phase angle of the sine wave is varied.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum The range of electromagnetic signals encompassing all frequencies is referred to as the electromagnetic spectrum. WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

The Electromagnetic Spectrum Figure 1-13: The electromagnetic spectrum. WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

The Electromagnetic Spectrum Frequency and Wavelength: Frequency A signal is located on the frequency spectrum according to its frequency and wavelength. Frequency is the number of cycles of a repetitive wave that occur in a given period of time. A cycle consists of two voltage polarity reversals, current reversals, or electromagnetic field oscillations. Frequency is measured in cycles per second (cps). The unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz). WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

The Electromagnetic Spectrum Frequency and Wavelength: Wavelength Wavelength is the distance occupied by one cycle of a wave and is usually expressed in meters. Wavelength is also the distance traveled by an electromagnetic wave during the time of one cycle. The wavelength of a signal is represented by the Greek letter lambda (λ). WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

The Electromagnetic Spectrum Figure 1-15: Frequency and wavelength. (a) One cycle. (b) One wavelength. WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

The Electromagnetic Spectrum Frequency and Wavelength: Wavelength Wavelength (λ) = speed of light ÷ frequency Speed of light = 3 × 108 meters/second Therefore: λ = 3 × 108 / f Example: What is the wavelength if the frequency is 4MHz? λ = 3 × 108 / 4 MHz = 75 meters (m) WWW.VIDYARTHIPLUS.COM

The Electromagnetic Spectrum Frequency Ranges from 30 Hz to 300 GHz The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into segments: Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF) 30–300 Hz. Voice Frequencies (VF) 300–3000 Hz. Very Low Frequencies (VLF) include the higher end of the human hearing range up to about 20 kHz. Low Frequencies (LF) 30–300 kHz. Medium Frequencies (MF) 300–3000 kHz AM radio 535–1605 kHz.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum Frequency Ranges from 30 Hz to 300 GHz High Frequencies (HF) (short waves; VOA, BBC broadcasts; government and military two-way communication; amateur radio, CB. 3–30 MHz Very High Frequencies (VHF) FM radio broadcasting (88–108 MHz), television channels 2–13. 30–300 MHz Ultra High Frequencies (UHF) TV channels 14–67, cellular phones, military communication. 300–3000 MHz
