Baud rate
Goal in data communication is to increase the bit rate while decreasing the baud rate. Increasing the data rate increases the speed of transmission, decreasing the baud rate decreases the bandwidth requirement.

7. Polar schemes The voltages are on both side of the time axis.
NRZ (non return to zero)
NRZ-L : The level of the voltage determines the value of bit.
NRZ-I : the change in the level of the voltage determines the level of the bit. If there is no change, the bit is 0, if there is a change, the bit is 1.

10. Return to zero It uses three values: positive, negative and zero.
The signal changes not between bits but during the bit. The signal goes to zero in the middle of each bit.
The main disadvantage is that it requires two signal changes to encode a bit and therefore occupies greater bandwidth.
Another problem is its complexity.

12. Manchester encoding : the duration of bits is divided into two halves
Manchester encoding : the duration of bits is divided into two halves. The voltage remains at one level during the first half and moves to the other level in the second bit.
A negative to positive transition represents binary 1 and a positive to negative transition represents binary 0.

13. Digital to Analog Conversion
Digital data needs to be carried on an analog signal.
A carrier signal (frequency fc) performs the function of transporting the digital data in an analog waveform.
The analog carrier signal is manipulated to uniquely identify the digital data being carried.

15. Figure 5.2 Types of digital-to-analog conversion

16. Digital-to-analog conversion is the process of changing one of the characteristics of an analog signal based on the information in digital data.

17. A wave is defined by three characteristics: amplitude, frequency, and phase.
When we vary anyone of these characteristics, we create a different version of that wave. So, by changing one characteristic of a simple electric signal, we can use it to represent digital data.
Any of the three characteristics can be altered in this way, giving us at least three mechanisms for modulating digital data into an analog signal:
amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK), and phase shift keying
(PSK).
In addition, there is a fourth (and better) mechanism that combines changing both the amplitude and phase, called quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
QAM is the most efficient of these options and is the mechanism commonly used today

19. Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)
ASK is implemented by changing the amplitude of a carrier signal to reflect amplitude levels in the digital signal.
For example: a digital “1” could not affect the signal, whereas a digital “0” would, by making it zero.
The line encoding will determine the values of the analog waveform to reflect the digital data being carried.

20. Figure 5.3 Binary amplitude shift keying

21. Figure 5.4 Implementation of binary ASK

22. Frequency Shift Keying
The digital data stream changes the frequency of the carrier signal, fc.
For example, a “1” could be represented by f1=fc +f, and a “0” could be represented by f2=fc-f.

23. Figure 5.6 Binary frequency shift keying

24. Phase Shift Keyeing
We vary the phase shift of the carrier signal to represent digital data.
PSK is much more robust than ASK as it is not that vulnerable to noise, which changes amplitude of the signal.

25. Figure 5.9 Binary phase shift keying

26. Quadrature PSK
To increase the bit rate, we can code 2 or more bits onto one signal element.
In QPSK, we parallelize the bit stream so that every two incoming bits are split up and PSK a carrier frequency. One carrier frequency is phase shifted 90o from the other - in quadrature.
The two PSKed signals are then added to produce one of 4 signal elements. L = 4 here.

27. Figure 5.11 QPSK and its implementation

28. Quadrature amplitude modulation is a combination of ASK and PSK.
Note
Quadrature amplitude modulation is a combination of ASK and PSK.

31. Multiplexing is the set of techniques that allows the simultaneous transmission of multiple signals across a single data link. As data and telecommunications use increases, so does traffic.
We can accommodate this increase by continuing to add individual links each time a new channel is needed; or we can install higher-bandwidth links

33. Frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) is an analog technique that can be applied when the bandwidth of a link (in hertz) is greater than the combined bandwidths of the signals to be transmitted.

38. Assume that a voice channel occupies a bandwidth of 4 kHz
Assume that a voice channel occupies a bandwidth of 4 kHz. We need to combine three voice channels into a link with a bandwidth of 12 kHz, from 20 to 32 kHz. Show the configuration, using the frequency domain.

41. Five channels, each with a l00-kHz bandwidth, are to be multiplexed together. What is the minimum bandwidth of the link if there is a need for a guard band of 10kHz between the channels to prevent interference?

43. A very common application of FDM is AM and FM radio broadcasting.
Radio uses the air as the transmission medium.
Each station uses a different carrier frequency, which means it is shifting its signal and multiplexing.
The signal that goes to the air is a combination of signals.
A receiver receives all these signals, but filters only the one which is desired.
Without multiplexing, only one AM station could broadcast to the common link, the air.

44. WDM
WDM is conceptually the same as FDM, except that the multiplexing and de-multiplexing involve optical signals transmitted through fiber-optic channels.
The idea is the same: We are combining different signals of different frequencies
Although WDM technology is very complex, the basic idea is very simple.
We want to combine multiple light sources into one single light at the multiplexer and do the reverse at the de-multiplexer. The combining and splitting of light sources are easily handled by a prism.

48. Time-division multiplexing (TDM) is a digital process that allows several connections to share the high bandwidth of a line Instead of sharing a portion of the bandwidth as in FDM, time is shared.
Each connection occupies a portion of time in the link.
TDM is, in principle, a digital multiplexing technique.
Digital data from different sources are combined into one timeshared link.
However, this does not mean that the sources cannot produce analog data; analog data can be sampled, changed to digital data, and then multiplexed by using TDM.

52. Interleaving
TDM can be visualized as two fast-rotating switches, one on the multiplexing side and the other on the de-multiplexing side.
The switches are synchronized and rotate at the same speed, but in opposite directions.
On the multiplexing side, as the switch opens in front of a connection, that connection has the opportunity to send a unit onto the path. This process is called interleaving.
On the de-multiplexing side, as the switch opens in front of a connection, that connection has the opportunity to receive a unit from the path.
