- 0:00EP 1100 data communication and computer
- 0:04networks some illustration in this
- 0:06material are collected from the book by
- 0:08foron data Communications and networking
- 0:10published by
- 0:12mcrill in this next part we're going to
- 0:14talk about transmission and data
- 0:16communication the overview is the
- 0:18following first I go through the basics
- 0:20of data communication then we look at
- 0:22transmission media both guided and
- 0:24unguided
- 0:26media then we look at the transmission
- 0:29capacity that you get from a
- 0:30transmission medium the attenuation that
- 0:33makes the signal weaker as it propagates
- 0:35the Distortion that the signal is
- 0:36subjected to and the limitations
- 0:39ultimately that are placed on the data
- 0:41rate then we look at actual ways of um
- 0:44transmitting data over a medium by
- 0:46modulation and line coding we look at
- 0:48the framing of data and
- 0:51synchronization and multiplexing of
- 0:53multiple data streams and give some
- 0:55examples of a Time Division multiplexing
- 0:58and a synchronous digital subscriber
- 1:00Loops the basics of data communication
- 1:04relies on propagation of electromagnetic
- 1:07signals we take the signals and we form
- 1:10them into well- defined waveforms the
- 1:12example below shows a sinusoidal wave
- 1:15that has two amplitudes a lower
- 1:16amplitude and a higher amplitude we can
- 1:19let these two amplitudes represent the
- 1:21bit value so in this case as you see a
- 1:24low amplitude is a zero and high
- 1:26amplitude represents bit value one then
- 1:29we send the dat data by modulating the
- 1:31waveform by the selected data it doesn't
- 1:34have to be assigned a Sol we could have
- 1:36a direct current that we chop by
- 1:39switching it on and off and here no
- 1:42signal means zero and Signal means one
- 1:45this signal propagates through medium or
- 1:47through vacuum
- 1:49even the receiver detects the waveform
- 1:53and Maps the waveform back to data bits
- 1:55it will also have to handle errors that
- 1:57might occur in the transmission
- 2:00transmission media this simple schematic
- 2:03shows a transmission medium going from a
- 2:05transmitter to receiver it illustrates a
- 2:08wave guide so that the electromagnetic
- 2:10wave is contained into one guide that
- 2:13leads it forward towards the
- 2:16receiver here we also illustrate that
- 2:18there could be intermediary equipment in
- 2:20the medium for amplifying the signal or
- 2:23generating the signal to guided media of
- 2:26a transmission of electrical and
- 2:27electromagnetic signals we look at TW
- 2:30Pair cable and Co axle cable and also
- 2:32for optical single where we look at the
- 2:34single mode and multi mode fiber then we
- 2:37have unguided media so free space
- 2:38communication with electromagnetic waves
- 2:41that carried in the air or in vacuum
- 2:43such as radio waves microwaves and
- 2:46infrared
- 2:48waves I'm now going to show you some
- 2:50guided media often when we talk about
- 2:52wave guides we call them wires or cables
- 2:55so here we have twisted pair cables
- 2:57coaxial cables and Optical fibers a
- 3:00twisted per cable is a very simple cable
- 3:02it has two conductors that are insulated
- 3:05and the cables are twisted together to
- 3:07minimize the external disturbances that
- 3:09can be generated in in the cable and
- 3:12disturb the signals that's being
- 3:16transmitted twisted pair cables often
- 3:18have several pairs bundled together
- 3:21often we have a connector such as the HP
- 3:24HC connector often referred to as
- 3:27rg45 and it's often installed in
- 3:29building buildings it's a cable that's
- 3:32cheap and simple to install and to put
- 3:34contacts
- 3:35on there are shielded versions and
- 3:37unshielded version the unshielded
- 3:39version is most common and it's called
- 3:41UTP the shielding protects from external
- 3:44noise and cross talk but it's bulkier
- 3:46and more
- 3:47expensive here's a table of different
- 3:49categories of unshielded twisted pair
- 3:51cables the most common today is the 5e
- 3:54and the six categories which are used
- 3:57for local area networks and can support
- 3:59bit rate it's up to a gbit per
- 4:01second coaxil cable has a different
- 4:04construction it has an inner conductor
- 4:07an insulator an outer conductor an
- 4:10insulator and then a plastic cover and
- 4:13it has a higher band with a twisted pair
- 4:16cable optical fiber for light signals
- 4:20consists of a core of silica glass or
- 4:22plastic and then it has a clading with
- 4:25lower index of refraction so that it
- 4:27mirrors the light signal in the core
- 4:30this reflection depends on the angle of
- 4:32incidence into the fiber when the sender
- 4:34sends light in the core acts like a
- 4:37cylindrical mirror so the signal can
- 4:40propagate by Reflections on the
- 4:43interface between the core and the
- 4:45cladding the light sources are light
- 4:47emitting diodes or liys
- 4:49diodes here I illustrate two forms of
- 4:52fiber the single mode fiber and the
- 4:54multim mood fiber we can take the multim
- 4:56mood fiber first the core is so broad
- 4:59that that are different angles of the
- 5:01light that comes in that get reflected
- 5:04and as I try to illustrate here with the
- 5:06arrows you can see that the different
- 5:08angles result in different Paths of
- 5:11propagation through the fiber light path
- 5:14that bounces the most goes the longest
- 5:16distance through the fiber if you send
- 5:18in a pulse to multimode fiber it will
- 5:21propagate along all the different paths
- 5:24once it received on the other side all
- 5:26the different versions of the pulse will
- 5:29be super imposed and the pulse will not
- 5:31be as sharp any longer since the
- 5:33distances that the pulse copies have
- 5:35traveled are differently
- 5:37long in a single mod f the core is so
- 5:41small that there's only a single angle
- 5:44that will lead to reflection and
- 5:46propagates through the fiber the quality
- 5:48of fiber is very high for transmission
- 5:51we measure the loss in debels per
- 5:53kilometer of fiber and typical values
- 5:55are 0.3 DB per
- 5:58kilometer they're both advantages and
- 6:01disadvantages with optical fiber the
- 6:03advantage is that it's very high
- 6:05bandwidth has low attenuation as
- 6:07mentioned there's no cross talk so
- 6:09because photons don't interfere with one
- 6:12another they're not sensitive to
- 6:14electromagnetic noise and the cable has
- 6:16a low weight per
- 6:18meter disadvantages relate to the
- 6:20installation to pull the cable is is not
- 6:23so simple it's difficult to bend it
- 6:25sharply because if you bend it too
- 6:26sharply the light will not Mir get
- 6:30mirrored inside the the fiber and you
- 6:32will have a high loss of the
- 6:34signal connecting cable segments
- 6:36together requires wielding and adding
- 6:39connectors is is a complicated
- 6:41mechanical procedure especially for
- 6:43single mode fiber maintenance and repair
- 6:46is also more costly than for a twisted
- 6:48pair or a quaal
- 6:52cable signals can also propagate in free
- 6:57space here I show different ways of
- 6:59propagation if you take low frequency
- 7:02radio signals they actually follow the
- 7:04surface of of the earth so you can reach
- 7:07long distances Beyond the
- 7:09Horizon in in Sky propagation you can
- 7:13bounce radio beans of the ionosphere and
- 7:15then at higher frequencies above 30 mahz
- 7:19you have to have a direct path for the
- 7:22signals to propagate between the cender
- 7:23and the receiver we talk about radio
- 7:26waves that are used for a television
- 7:28broadcast these are signals with
- 7:30frequencies up to a gahz pass through
- 7:33most obstacles like walls and vegetation
- 7:36the transmission is terrestrial or use a
- 7:39satellite often with omnidirectional
- 7:41antennas to reach wide areas and often
- 7:44sent from high towers for line of sight
- 7:47propagation to the receivers when you go
- 7:49up in frequency you come to a range
- 7:51that's called
- 7:52microwaves often considered being from
- 7:55about 1 GHz up to 300
- 7:58GHz now the signal is attenuated more by
- 8:01obstacles and water and other reasons so
- 8:05the signals start be more like light
- 8:07signals this range is used for Celler
- 8:10phones for WiFi and for satellite
- 8:12networks it requires a li line of site
- 8:16propagation you can use unidirectional
- 8:19antennas to create Point to-point
- 8:20microwave links or omnidirectional
- 8:23antennas for mobile and broadcast
- 8:27communication infrared light signals
- 8:30have frequencies from 300 GHz to 400
- 8:33terahz so they belong to the non-visible
- 8:35part of the light spectrum it's
- 8:37basically heat
- 8:39radiation here again we have line of
- 8:41sight propagation but Reflections can be
- 8:43used to bypass
- 8:46obstacles there's interference to this
- 8:48from um sun rays since it's heat
- 8:51radiation and this communication often
- 8:53used for short distances for instance
- 8:55for remote controls here is an
- 8:58illustration of the bandw for different
- 9:00media you see the twisted pair going up
- 9:03to about 100 mahz coaxil Cable going up
- 9:06to gigahertz you see the position of the
- 9:09broadcast services like AM FM radio and
- 9:14television the microwave range which
- 9:16used for radar microwave ovens and and
- 9:20uh microwave communication and then the
- 9:22infrared and and eventually visible
- 9:24light where the optical fiber is
- 9:28used
