Baseband digital information

Bit-rate, Baud-rate and Bandwidth denotes the duration of the 1 bit Hence Bit rate = bits per second All the forms of the base band signalling shown transfer data at the same bit rate. denotes the duration of the shortest signalling element. Baud rate is defined as the reciprocal of the duration of the shortest signalling element. Baud Rate = baud In general Baud Rate ≠ Bit Rate For NRZ : Baud Rate = Bit Rate RZ : Baud Rate = 2 x Bit Rate Bi-Phase: Baud Rate = 2 x Bit Rate AMI: Baud Rate = Bit Rate

Non Return to Zero (NRZ) The highest frequency occurs when the data is ……. i.e. This sequence produces a square wave with periodic time Fourier series for a square wave, If we pass this signal through a LPF then the maximum bandwidth would be 1/T Hz, i.e. to just allow the fundamental (1st harmonic) to pass.

Non Return to Zero (NRZ) (Cont’d) The data sequence 1010…… could then be completely recovered Hence the minimum channel bandwidth

Return to Zero (RZ) Considering RZ signals, the max frequency occurs when continuous 1’s are transmitted. This produces a square wave with periodic time If the sequence was continuous 0’s, the signal would be –V continuously, hence.

Bi-Phase Maximum frequency occurs when continuous 1’s or 0’s transmitted. This is similar to RZ with Baud Rate = = 2 x Bit rate The minimum frequency occurs when the sequence is ……. e.g. In this case = Baud Rate = Bit rate

Digital Modulation and Noise The performance of Digital Data Systems is dependent on the bit error rate, BER, i.e. probability of a bit being in error. Digital Modulation There are four basic ways of sending digital data The BER (P) depends on several factors the modulation type, ASK FSK or PSK the demodulation method the noise in the system the signal to noise ratio Prob. of Error or BER,

It is clear from the symmetry of this problem that P e0 is identical to P e1 and the probability of error P e, irrespective of whether a ‘one’ or ‘zero’ was transmitted, can be rewritten in terms of  v = v 1 – v 0  for unipolar signalling (0 and  v )  for polar signalling (symbol represented by voltage

FM/ FSK Demodulation (Cont’d) i.e Thus there are two components Component (1) is at frequency 2 f IN Hz and component (2) is effectively a ‘DC’ voltage if is constant. The cut-off frequency for the LPF is designed so that component (1) is removed and component (2) is passed to the output.
