what is communication?

Communication is the process of
exchanging information between two
different points.
The information may be sent from one
point to another point through a wire /
cable or it may be sent on a particular
frequency (wireless) on air
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
4
Any Communication System requires the
following:
Transmitter
Channel
Receiver
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com

UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
7
Transmitter
It is the one which transmits the
information after processing the
normal signal (modulating signal) to
modulated signal.
It has some elements like modulator
to combine low frequency
information with RF carrier and an
amplifier to amplify the signal before
giving it to the antenna.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
8
Receiver
It is the one, which receives the
modulated information and retrieves
the actual information from the
modulated signal.
It has an amplifier to amplify the
weak signal and a demodulator to
separate the actual information from
the modulated information.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
9
Channel
It is the medium through which the
information is being carried out.
If the information is being carried
over wires, it is called wire line
communication.
If the information is carried over a
particular frequency on air, it is called
wire less communication.

Types of communication Systems :
Type Description Example
Simplex One way only FM radio,
Television etc..
Half
Duplex
Two way, only one at a
time
Walkie Talkie
Full
Duplex
Two way, both at the
same time
Mobile
Systems
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
11
Simplex System
It is one way communication. It can
either transmit or receive. But only one
function it does at any time.
Ex: Radio, Television, GPS Rx etc.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
12
Half Duplex System
It can do both the functions. i.e., it can
transmit as well as receive. But only one
function at a time. That means, if it is
transmitting, it works like a transmitter and if it
is receiving, it works like a receiver.
Ex: Police Walkie-Talkie
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
13
Full Duplex System
It can do both the (Tx and Rx) functions at a
time.
Ex: Telephone and mobile systems

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WIRED & WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS:
The main difference between the wired and
wireless communication infrastructure is
the existence of the physical cabling.
Wired communication consists of a
physical cable between two points,
whereas wireless communication doesnt
have any physical cabling between the
points. The information will be sent on a
particular frequency over air.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
16
FREQUENCY: The number of cycles per unit of
time is called the frequency.
frequency is most often measured in cycles
per second (cps) or Hertz (Hz) (60 cps = 60 Hz)
1000 Hz is often referred to as 1 kHz (kilohertz).
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
17
velocity: Distance travelled per unit time
wavelength:
wavelength is the distance between
repeating units of a propagating wave of a
given frequency. It is commonly denoted by the
greek letter (). Examples of wave-like
phenonomena are light waves and sound
waves.
Note: The wavelength, ()., is related to the
propagation velocity, v, and the frequency (f),
by = v /f.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
18
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
19
BANDWIDTH
Bandwidth is expressed in terms of the
difference between the highest-frequency
signal component and the lowest-frequency
signal component. Since the frequency of a
signal is measured in Hertz (the number of
cycles of change per second), a given
bandwidth is the difference in hertz
between the highest frequency the signal
uses and the lowest frequency it uses.
(or)

UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
20
BW of a signal can be defined as the
range of frequencies in which most of the
energy or Power lies.

For a Band limited signal the BW is well
defined.
When a signal is not band limited
defining BW becomes difficult and there is
no universal definition. Thus this gives
rise to BW Dilemma.

MODULATION
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
23
What is modulation?
A technique in Telecom transmission
system where by an electromagnetic
signal (the modulating signal) is encoded
into one or more of the characteristics of
the another signal (carrier signal) to
produce a third signal (modulated signal).
Whose properties are matched to the
characteristics of medium over which it is
transmitted.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
24
NEED OF MODULATION

Digital modulation
Analog modulation:
The aim of analog modulation is to
transfer the analog signal over a
channel. (or) the modulation which
deals with the analog signals

UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
26
ANALOG SIGNAL
An analog signal is any variable signal
which is continuous in both time and amplitude.

intervals of time.
They are three steps to continue DIGITAL
MODULATION, they are
Sampling.
Quantization.
Coding.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
35
SAMPLING
: It is the process of measuring the analog
signal at different instants of time.
According to nyquist criteria Ns>=2fm,
the number of samples should be taken at
least twice the maximum frequency or
higher than that.
If not, we will not get accurate output. We
will get the distorted output and this effect
is called as Aliasing effect.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
36
Quantization and coding
QUANTIZATION: Approximating the
sampled signal with an accurate value.
CODING: Representing the quantizing
signal with binary form i.e 0 and 1s
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
37
Based on the sampling theorem,
Each analog sample is assigned a binary
code
Analog samples are referred to as pulse
amplitude modulation (PAM) samples
The digital signal consists of block of n
bits, where each n-bit number is the
amplitude of a PCM pulse

Frequency Shift Key Modulation
In this method the frequency of the
carrier is changed to two different
frequencies depending on the logic state of
the input bit stream.
The typical output waveform of an FSK is
shown below.
Notice that logic high causes the centre
frequency to increase to a maximum and a
logic low causes the centre frequency to
decrease to a minimum

54
Phase Shift Key Modulation
With this method the phase of the carrier
changes between different phases
determined by the logic states of the input
bit stream.
Phase of carrier signal is shifted to
represent data
Differential PSK
Phase shifted relative to previous
transmission rather than some reference
signal
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
55
Types of PSK
There are several types of phase shift key
(PSK) methods.
Two-phase (2 PSK)
Four-phase (4 PSK)
Eight-phase (8 PSK)
Sixteen-phase (16 PSK)
Sixteen- quadrature amplitude (16 QAM)

UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
56
The 16 QAM is a composite modulator
consisting of amplitude modulation and
phase modulation. The 2 PSK, 4 PSK, 8
PSK and 16 PSK modulators are generally
referred to as binary phase shift key
(BPSK) modulators and the QAM
modulators are referred to as quadrature
phase shift key (QPSK) modulators.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
57
Two-Phase Shift Key Modulation (BPSK)
In this modulator the carrier assumes one
of two phases to represent binary digits. Logic
1 produces no phase change and logic 0
produces a 180 phase change.

63
TRANSMISSION MEDIUM
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
64
TRANSMISSION MEDIUM
The media through, which transmission
takes place is called as Transmission Media.
There are two types of transmission
media. They are
GUIDED MEDIA
UNGUIDED MEDIA.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
65
GUIDED MEDIA
This uses a cabling system that guides the
data signals along a specific path. The data
signals are bound by the cabling system. This
is also known as bound media.
Different types of Guided media are as follows.
1. TWISTED PAIR
2. CO-AXIAL CABLE
3. FIBER OPTICS
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
66
TWISTED PAIR
Twisted pair is the ordinary copper wire
that connects home and many business
computers to the telephone company.
To reduce crosstalk or electromagnetic
induction between pairs of wires, two
insulated copper wires are twisted around
each other. Each connection on twisted pair
requires both wires
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
67
Types of twisted pair cables:
There are two types of twisted pair cables.
They are,
UNSHILEDED TWISTED PAIR (UTP)
SHEILDED TWISTED PAIR (STP)
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
68
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is the
most popular and is generally the best
option.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
69
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
70
Shielded Twisted Pair Cable
If twisted pair is enclosed in a
shield that functions as a ground.
This is known as shielded twisted
pair (STP).
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
71
Shielded Twisted Pair Cable
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
72
A disadvantage of UTP is that it
may be susceptible to radio and
electrical frequency interference.
Shielded twisted pair (STP) is
suitable for environments with
electrical interference; however, the
extra shielding can make the cables
quite bulky.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
73
FIBER OPTICS
Fiber optics (optical fibers) are long, thin
strands of very pure glass about the diameter of a
human hair.
When light ray passes from one medium
to another (from glass to air) ,the ray is
Refracted or bent at the boundary, the
amount of refraction depends on the
properties of two media
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
74
Light rays in different medium
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
75
What is critical Angle?
Critical Angle
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
76
Critical Angle?
The least angle of incidence at which
total internal reflection takes place.
The angle of incidence in a denser
medium, at an interface between the
denser and less dense medium, at which
the light is refracted along the interface
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
77
When the critical angle is exceeded,
the light is totally reflected back into the
denser medium.
The critical angle varies with the
indices of refraction of the two media with
the relationship:
sin Ic = n/n where Ic is the critical
angle; n the refractive index of the less
dense medium; and n the refractive index of
the denser medium.

UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
78
The formula for critical angle is shown
where c is the critical angle, n 1 is the
refractive index of the less dense medium, and
n 2 is the refractive index of the denser
medium.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
79
Critical Angle: In the above diagram, light is lost
along the interface until reaching the Critical
angle of 60 degrees.

UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
80
Elements of Fiber
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
81
Elements of Fiber:
Core - Thin glass center of the fiber where the
light travels
Cladding - Outer optical material surrounding
the core that reflects the light back into the
core
Buffer coating - Plastic coating that protects
the fiber from damage and moisture
Hundreds or thousands of these optical fibers
are arranged in bundles in optical cables. The
bundles are protected by the cable's outer
covering, called a jacket.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
82


Optical fibers come in two types:
Single-mode fibers
Multi-mode fibers
Types of Fibers:
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
83
Single-mode fibers have small cores (about
3.5 x 10-4 inches or 9 microns in diameter) and
transmit infrared laser light (wavelength =
1,300 to 1,550 nanometers).
Multi-mode fibers have larger cores (about
2.5 x 10-3 inches or 62.5 microns in diameter)
and transmit infrared light (wavelength = 850 to
1,300 nm) from light emitting diodes (LEDs).
Some optical fibers can be made from plastic.
These fibers have a large core (0.04 inches or
1 mm diameter) and transmit visible red light
(wavelength = 650 nm) from LEDs.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
84
Multimode Step-Index
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
85
Density of the core remains constant from
the center to the edges.
Multiple beams from a light source move
through the core in different paths hence
the term Multimode.
Due to different beams arriving at different
times at the receiver the signal is distorted
(propagation delays). Thus this constant
density multimode fiber finds less
applications.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
86
Multimode Graded-Index
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
87
Multiple beams from a light source move through
the core in different paths hence the term
Multimode.
The distortion of signal of step index is reduced in
Graded Index Fiber by Having variable densities.
(Index refers to index of refraction). density is
highest at the center of the core and decreases
gradually to its lowest at the edge. Each density
difference causes each beam to refract into a
curve.
Also different beams intersect at regular intervals.
Placing the receiver carefully at one of the
intersection can construct the signal with greater
Precision.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
88
Single Mode
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
89
Single mode fiber
In single mode fiber the diameter is
smaller & the density of core is lower. The
decrease in density and dia results in
critical angle almost equal to 90 degrees to
make the propagation almost horizontal.
All the beams arrive at the receiver
together that can be combined with less
distortion. Core sizes vary from 10 to50
microns, while the cladding varies from 100
to 150 microns.

How Does an Optical Fiber Transmit Light?
Suppose you want to shine a flashlight
beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point
the beam straight down the hallway -- light
travels in straight lines, so it is no problem.
What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could
place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light
beam around the corner. What if the hallway is
very winding with multiple bends? You might
line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam
so that it bounces from side-to-side all along
the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an
optical fiber
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
92
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
93
The light in a fiber-optic cable travels
through the core (hallway) by constantly
bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined
walls), a principle called total internal
reflection.
Because the cladding does not absorb any
light from the core, the light wave can travel
great distances. However, some of the light
signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due
to impurities in the glass.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
94
The extent that the signal degrades
depends on the purity of the glass and
the wavelength of the transmitted light
(for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75
percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60
percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50
percent/km).
Some premium optical fibers show much
less signal degradation -- less than 10
percent/km at 1,550 nm.

UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
95
Fiber optic Elements
Light source: LED, Laser Diode.
Receiver: Photodiode, PIN diode.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
96
Advantages of optical fiber
(over Copper & Coaxial cables)
Low Signal Loss in Fiber Optics. The loss is
nearly >20 dB/km in conventional medium and
0.2 dB/km to a maximum of 2 dB/km in Optical
Fiber
Long Distance Transmission. 60km to 300 km.
Due to low attenuation, repeaters are needed
about every 60kms compared to every 5kms for
copper, reducing cost.
Maintenance is very high for conventional
medium.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
97
High Band width. Conventional medium
supports 500 MHz to 700 MHz. Fiber Optics
supports several GHz. Todays networks
support Tera Hertz.
Since it uses light, it is not affected by power
surges, EM interference or power failures.
Also not affected by corrosive chemicals in
the air
Fiber is small in size (thin) and less in weight.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
98
Fiber is a dielectric material and no need for
electrical power, hence no short circuits and no
earthing is required.
Fiber does not leak light and it is difficult to tap,
thus security is highest
Reliability is high. Only failures in OFC is cable
cuts.


UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
99
Disadvantages
Fiber optic cable is more expensive.
Needs skilled job for cable joints by
splicing.
Sophisticated equipment is required.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
100
UNGUIDED TRANSMISSION
This consists of means of data
signals to travel but nothing to
guide them along a specific path.
The data signals are not bound to
a cabling media and as such are
often called unbound media.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
101
They are two types of unguided
transmission are there, they are,
Line of sight communication
Satellite communication
UNGUIDED TRANSMISSION
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com

LINE OF SIGHT COMMUNICATION
This type of communication uses
parabolic dishes of different diameters
(0.6,0.8,1.2mts etc.).
These are fixed at certain height and
focuses a narrow beam .
It achieves line of sight transmission to
receiving antenna.

UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
103
Ground wave propagation follows the
curvature of the Earth.
Ground waves have carrier frequencies
up to 2 MHz.
AM radio is an example of ground wave
propagation
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
104
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
105
Ionospheric propagation bounces
off of the Earth's ionospheric
layer in the upper atmosphere.
It is sometimes called double hop
propagation. It operates in the
frequency range of 30 - 85 MHz.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
106
Because it depends on the
Earth's ionosphere, it changes
with the weather and time of day.
The signal bounces off of the
ionosphere and back to earth.
Ham radios operate in this range.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
107
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
108
Line of sight propagation transmits
exactly in the line of sight.
The receive station must be in the view
of the transmit station.
It is sometimes called space waves or
Tropospheric propagation.
It is limited by the curvature of the
Earth for ground-based stations (100
km, from horizon to horizon).
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com

DATA TRANSMISSION
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
116
Synchronous Transmission
The transmission of data in which both
stations are synchronized.
Codes are sent from the transmitting
station to the receiving station to establish the
synchronization, and data is then transmitted in
continuous streams
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
117
Synchronous Transmission
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
118
Asynchronous Transmission
The transmission of data in which each
character is a self-contained unit with its
own start and stop bits.
Intervals between characters may be
uneven.
It is the common method of transmission
between a computer and a modem,
although the modem may switch to
synchronous transmission to communicate
with the other modem. Also called
"start/stop transmission."

Parity Check
Basic method of checking data for errors
during a transmission or on a data storage
mechanism.
Parity works by setting a parity bit to an
even or odd number.
If the binary stream contains eight 0's or 1's,
for example, we know that this is an even
number; however, if the parity bit indicates that
this number should be an odd number we would
be able to easily determine that the data is
corrupt.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
122
Even Parity & Odd Parity
Parity bit appended to a block of data
Even parity
Added bit ensures an even number of 1s
Odd parity
Added bit ensures an odd number of 1s
Example, 7-bit character [1110001]
Even parity [11100010]
Odd parity [11100011

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
The CRC is a very powerful but easily
implemented technique to obtain data reliability.
The CRC technique is used to protect blocks of
data called Frames.
Using this technique, the transmitter appends
an extra n- bit sequence to every frame called
Frame Check Sequence (FCS). The FCS
holds redundant information about the frame
that helps the transmitter detect errors in the
frame.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
124
The CRC is one of the most used
techniques for error detection in data
communications. The technique gained
its popularity because it combines three
advantages:
Extreme error detection capabilities.
Little overhead.
Ease of implementation.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
125
Asynchronous Data Error Detection
Parity has been used to detect errors in
Asynchronous data stream.
The parity bit is an added error-detection bit
included with each character of the
asynchronous data stream.
In one respect, this is a disadvantage of using
parity. It adds additional bit to be transmitted
with each character, reducing the efficiency of
the data transfer.
In other words, it takes more time to transmit a
data character with a parity bit than to send
one without a parity bit.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
126
1. What is the efficiency of asynchronously transmitting
an ASCII character with 1 start and 2 stop bits? Give
two answers, one including the parity bit and one
without parity for comparison purposes.
An ASCII character contains 7 bits of character
information. Transmitting an ASCII character
asynchronously as described above includes 3 overhead
bits (1 start and 2 stop bits) as well as a parity bit. Total
bits transmitted is 11 with parity and 10 without parity.
The efficiency in transmitting an ASCII character
message without parity is 7/10, or 70%. And with parity is
7/11 or 63.7%.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
127
2. What is the state of the parity bit for an ASCII
character R, using both even and odd parity
systems?
Sol: An ASCII character R is 101 0010 in binary.
The total number of 1s in the character is
three, an odd number. For an odd parity system,
the parity bit is a 0 to keep the count of 1s odd.
While in the even parity systems, the parity bit
is set to make the total number of 1s even. (3+1=4).

UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
128
3. Which parity (odd or even) is used with the ASCII
asynchronous data stream shown below? Two stop
and 1 start bits are being used with each character.
Which character has an error in it?
Data are shown starting with the first received bit
(usually the LSB) at the left side of the screen where
the sweep begins. Succeeding bits follow in correct
sequence until the last bit is displayed. What is the
intended message?
0000 1001 0110 1010 0110 1100 0010 1101 1000
0011 1111 0100 0010 011.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
129
0000 1001 0110 1010 0110 1100 0010 1101
1000 0011 1111 0100 0010 011
It shows the bits as they are sent and displays
them left (LSB) to right. The message starts with
the first character sent on the left.
Each character starts with 1 start bit and ends
with 2 stop bits. Adding the parity bit and 7 code
bits, each transmitted character contains 11 bits.
The first step is to separate the message into
characters:
0000 1001 011 0101 0011 011 0000 1011 011
0000 0111 111 0100 0010 011
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
130
0000 1001 011 0101 0011 011 0000 1011 011
0000 0111 111 0100 0010 011
Next strip out the start and stop bits:
0001 0010 1010 0110 0001 0110 0000 1111
1000 0100
Then determine the parity used and the character that
has a bad parity bit. Most of the characters in the
message use even parity with a parity error in the
middle character.
Remove the parity bits and reverse the order of each
character to place the LSB of each on the right to
facilitate their interpretation:
100 1000 110 0101 110 1000 111 0000 010 0001
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
131
Convert each binary group to its ASCII
equivalent using the ASCII table.
It is the combination of characters H e h p !

The error shows up in the middle character.
100 1000 110 0101 110 1000 111 0000
010 0001
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
132
What if 2 bits in a single characters are bad?
A 2 bit change in a single character causes the
parity condition to be the same as if an error
did not occur. The sum of 1s in both cases
would result in the same state of the parity bit.
On the surface, this may seem like a limitation
of parity checking for error detection.
Essentially, it is parity detection is reliable
only if a single error occurs in a character.
Thus, parity checking is limited to
environments that experience infrequent errors
in data transmissions.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
133
To correct errors detected using parity, the
receiving station can only request that the
message containing the error be retransmitted.
A system that is set to request retransmission
automatically in response to detecting an error
includes Automatic Request for retransmission,
also known as Automatic Repeat Request
(ARQ) processing within its communications
software.

WAVE PROPAGATION
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
157
Antenna radiates electromagnetic waves , and
these are waves travel, outward in all directions
with a velocity of 3*10^8m/secs.
These waves are transverse in nature and are
therefore called transverse electromagnetic
waves (TEM).
For this type of waves, the electric field (E),
the magnetic field (H), and the direction of
propagation along which the wave travels with
Phase velocity (Vp) are mutually at right angles
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
158
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
159
PROPAGATION OF WAVES
There are number of mechanisms by which
radio waves may travel from transmitting
antenna to a receiving antenna. The more
important of these are
Ground waves
Sky wave
Space or Troposphere waves.
The ground wave some times also called as
surface waves can exist when the transmitting
and receiving antenna are close to surface of
the earth and vertically polarized.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
160
The Sky wave represents energy that reaches
the receiving antenna as result of bending of
the wave path, introduces by the ionization of
upper atmosphere
The space wave represents energy that travels
from the transmitting to the receiving antenna
in the earth troposphere, the portion of the
earth atmosphere in first 15 kms adjacent to
earth surface.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
161
The space wave commonly consists of two
components; one of these rays that is that travels
directly from transmitter to receiver. While the
other that reaches the receiver as a result of
reflection from the surface of earth.
Ground waves are generally useful at very low
frequencies (10to30kHz) and low frequencies
(30to300khz).
AM radio broad casting medium frequency band
of (300to3000kHz) are transferred primarily by the
ground waves.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
162
ANTENNA
An antenna is a specialized transducer that
converts radio-frequency (RF) fields into
alternating current (AC) or vice-versa. There
are two basic types: the receiving antenna,
which intercepts RF energy and delivers AC
to electronic equipment, and the transmitting
antenna, which is fed with AC from
electronic equipment and generates an RF
field.

UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
163
Isotropic Radiator:
An isotropic radiator is a theoretical point
source of waves which exhibits the same
magnitude or properties when measured
in all directions. It has no preferred
direction of radiation. It radiates uniformly
in all directions over a sphere centered
on the source. It is a reference radiator
with which other sources are compared.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
164

Directional antenna
Antenna having a preference for a particular
direction and radiating (receiving) a signal
more efficiently in (from) this direction than in
other directions.
Isotropic antenna
Antenna transmitting (receiving) equal
radiation in (from) all directions. Isotropic
antenna is a idealized device that does not
exist in reality. It is usually taken as a
reference when measuring directivity of actual
antennas.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
165
Omni directional antenna
Antenna transmitting (receiving) equal radiation
in (from) all directions. A typical example is a
whip antenna. Whip antenna's radiation power
is distributed equally in all directions in a plane
perpendicular to the whip.
Dipole antenna
The dipole antenna or dipole aerial is one of the
most important and also one of the most widely
used types of antenna. It can be used on its
own, or there are many other types of antenna
that use the dipole as the basic element within
the antenna.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
166
Basic dipole facts:
The name dipole means two poles and
the antenna does in fact consist of two
"poles" or sections. These are normally
equal in length, making the antenna what
is termed a centre fed antenna.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
167
The power is applied to the dipole
antenna itself through a feeder.
Conversely if the dipole antenna is used
for receiving, the received signals are
taken away to the receiver through a
feeder. The feeder serves to transfer the
power to or from the antenna with as little
loss as possible
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
168
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
169
The basic dipole antenna configuration
The most common form of dipole has an
electrical length of half a wavelength. As a
result this antenna is called a half wave
dipole. As before the lengths of the wires
are both the same. As the total length of the
dipole is a half wavelength, this makes
each section or leg of the dipole a quarter
wavelength long.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
170
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
171
The folded dipole antenna
The folded dipole antenna is probably only
ever seen as a TV antenna. It exhibits an
impedance of 300 ohms whereas a half wave
dipole is 75 ohms.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
172
One powerful advantage of a folded
dipole antenna is that is has a wide
bandwidth.
This is the reason it was often used as a
TV antenna for multi channel use.
Folded dipole antennas were mainly
used in conjunction with Yagi antennas
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
173
The Yagi antenna
The Yagi antenna or more correctly, the
Yagi - Uda antenna was developed by
Japanese scientists in the 1930's.
It consists of a half wave dipole, a rear
"reflector" and may or may not have one
or more forward "directors". These are
collectively referred to as the "elements
of Yagi Antenna.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com

175
Parabolic antenna
The parabolic antenna is a high-gain reflector
antenna used for radio, television and data
communications, and also for radio location
(RADAR), on the UHF and SHF parts of the
electromagnetic spectrum.
The relatively short wavelength of
electromagnetic (radio) energy at these
frequencies allows reasonably sized reflectors
to exhibit the very desirable highly directional
response for both receiving and transmitting.

The Noise factor of a transducer at a
specified input frequency is the ratio of (a/b)
where "a and b" are:
a) the available Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) at
the signal generator terminals per unit bandwidth
when the temperature of the input termination
(generator or source) is (usually 20C = 293.15 K)
and the bandwidth is limited by the transducer, to

Noise Figure of Cascaded Amplifier :
In a cascade amplifier the final stage sees an
input signal that consists of the original signal
and noise amplified by each successive stage.
Each stage in the cascade chain amplifies
signals and noise from previous stages and
contributes some noise of its own. The overall
noise factor for a cascade amplifier can be
calculated from the Fris noise equation:

Atmospheric Noise :
Atmospheric noise is radio noise caused
by natural atmospheric processes,
primarily lightning discharges in
thunderstorms.
All atmospheric noise is created by
weather. More specifically, this noise
comes from lightning flashes, with most of
the noise caused by cloud-to-ground
flashes because the currents in those
strokes are much stronger than those of
cloud-to-cloud flashes.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
186
Shot Noise
Shot noise in electronic devices consists
of random fluctuations of the electric
current in an electrical conductor, which
are caused by the fact that the current is
carried by discrete charges (electrons).
This occurs not only in p-n junctions but
also in any conductor.
UTL Technologies Ltd www.utltraining.com
187
Impulse noise is a category of (acoustic)
noise which includes unwanted, almost
instantaneous (impulse-like) sharp sounds.
Noises of the kind are usually caused by
electromagnetic interference, scratches on
the recording disks, and ill synchronization
in digital recording and communication.

Packet Switching
It refers to protocols in which the
messages are divided into packets before they
are sent, each packet is then transmitted
individually and can be even follow different
routes to its destinations. Once all the packets
forming a message receive at the destination,
they are recompiled into the original msg.
Currently this is the most popular method
for data transmission. In this, each message is
split into smaller units called packets and each
packet has an identity header destination.

Frame Relay
Frame relay consists of an efficient data
transmission technique used to send digital
information quickly and cheaply in a relay of
frames to one or many destinations from one
or many end-points.
Network providers commonly implement frame
relay for voice and data as an encapsulation
technique, used between local area networks
(LANs) over a wide area network (WAN).
The frame-relay network handles the
transmission over a frequently-changing path
transparent to all end-users.

Frame Relay Devices
DTEs generally are considered to be terminating
equipment for a specific network and typically are
located on the premises of a customer. In fact,
they may be owned by the customer. Examples of
DTE devices are terminals, personal computers,
routers, and bridges.
DCEs are carrier-owned internetworking devices.
The purpose of DCE equipment is to provide
clocking and switching services in a network,
which are the devices that actually transmit data
through the WAN. In most cases, these are packet
switches. Figure 10-1 shows the relationship
between the two categories of devices.

X.25
It is an International Telecommunication
Union-Telecommunication Standardization
Sector (ITU-T) protocol standard for WAN
communications that defines how connections
between user devices and network devices are
established and maintained.
X.25 is designed to operate effectively
regardless of the type of systems connected to
the network. It is typically used in the packet-
switched networks (PSNs), such as the
telephone companies.

Subscribers are charged based on their use of
the network. The development of the X.25
standard was initiated in the 1970s. At that
time, there was a need for WAN protocols
capable of providing connectivity across public
data networks (PDNs). X.25 is now
administered as an international standard by
the ITU-T.

X.25 Devices and Protocol Operation

X.25 network devices fall into three general
categories:
Data terminal equipment (DTE),
Data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE), and
Packet-switching exchange (PSE).

Data terminal equipment devices are end
systems that communicate across the X.25
network. They are usually terminals, personal
computers, or network hosts, and are located
on the premises of individual subscribers.
DCE devices are communications devices,
such as modems and packet switches, that
provide the interface between DTE devices
and a PSE, and are generally located in the
carrier's facilities.

PSEs are switches that compose the
bulk of the carrier's network. They
transfer data from one DTE device to
another through the X.25 PSN. Figure
below illustrates the relationships among
the three types of X.25 network devices

Packet Assembler/Disassembler
The packet assembler/disassembler (PAD) is a
device commonly found in X.25 networks. PADs
are used when a DTE device, such as a character-
mode terminal, is too simple to implement the full
X.25 functionality.
The PAD is located between a DTE device and
a DCE device, and it performs three primary
functions:
buffering (storing data until a device is ready to
process it),
packet assembly and
packet disassembly.

The PAD buffers data sent to or from the DTE
device. It also assembles outgoing data into
packets and forwards them to the DCE device.
(This includes adding an X.25 header.)
Finally, the PAD disassembles incoming
packets before forwarding the data to the DTE.
(This includes removing the X.25 header.)
Figure 17-2 illustrates the basic operation of
the PAD when receiving packets from the X.25
WAN.
