Communications Industry
 Is concerned with electronic equipment used
for the transfer of information between two
or more points
Computer industry
 Is concerned with the development and
servicing of computer hardware and software
used by business, industry and government
for the processing, storage and retrieval of
data.
Control industry
 Is concerned with electric power as well as
various kinds of electronic components and
circuits used to operate lights, heating
elements, electric motors and other devices.
The Importance of Communications

exchanging information
Two main barriers

 1962 – First communications satellite
The Elements of Communications System
Transmitter
 Is a collection of electronic components and
circuits designed to convert the information
into a signal suitable for transmission over a
given communication medium
Communications channel
Is the medium by which the electronic signal is
sent from one place to another.
Receiver
 Another collection of electronic components
and circuits that accept the transmitted
message from the channel and convert it
back into a form understandable by human.
Noise
 Random, undesirable electric energy that
enters the communications system via the
communicating medium and interferes with
the transmitted message.
Categories of Noise
 Uncorrelated
 Is present regardless of whether there is a SIGNAL
PRESENT or NOT

 Correlated
 Noise that is correlated to the signal and cannot
be present in circuit unless there is an input signal
Uncorrelated Noise
 Types of Noise
 External
 Internal
External noise
 Type of noise that affects the communication
system coming from OUTSIDE environment
 Atmospheric Noise
 Extra-terrestrial Noise
 Solar Noise
 Cosmic Noise
 Industrial Noise
Internal Noise
 White, Johnson or Gaussian Noise
 Shot Noise
 Partition Noise
 Excess Noise
Thermal Agitation / White Noise
 Produced by random motion of electrons in a
conductor due to HEAT
 Pn = KTB
 Where:
 K = boltzmann constant = 1.38x10^-23 J/K
 T= abs temp in K
 B = noise bandwidth in Hz
Problem
 Calculate the noise power for a certain
communication system with an IF bandwidth
of 10.7 MHz.
 A. 4.28x10^-14 W
 B. 3.25x10^-16W
Thermal Agitation Noise
 Vn = √4 KTBR
 Where:
 Vn = noise voltage in Vrms
 R=load resistor in Ω
Problem
 An amplifier operating over a 5 MHz
bandwidth has a 100 Ω input resistance. It is
operating at 27◦C, has a voltage gain of 200.
Calculate the output rms noise.
 A. 425 uVrms
 B. 576 uVrms
Shot Noise
 Due to random variations in current flow in
ACTIVE DEVICE, such as tubes, transistors,
semiconductor diodes, etc
 In = √2qIB
 Where: q = electron charge (1.602x10^-19 C)
 I = direct diode current in A
 B = equivalent noise bw in Hz
Problem 2
 Determine the noise current for a diode with
a forward bias of 1 mA over a 1 MHz
bandwidth.
 A. 15 nA
 B. 18 nA
Partition Noise
 Similar to shot noise but occurs only in
devices where a single current separates into
two or more paths
Excess Noise
 Also called FLICKER NOISE or 1/f Noise
because noise power is inversely proportional
with frequency
 Also called PINK noise because there is
proportionately more energy at the low
frequency end of the spectrum
Intermodulation distortion
 Results when unwanted sum and difference
frequencies are generated when two or more
signals are amplified in a non-linear device
Power and Decibel
 It is the fundamental quantity representing
the RATE at which ENERGY is used
 It is more measureable since it can be
converted to HEAT
 Decibel indicates the relation between two
powers
Decibel Computation
 dB = 10log 10 P2/P1

 dBm = 10 log 10 P2/1mW


Problem
 For the equivalent noise bw of 10 MHz,
determine the noise power in dBm
Types of Electronic Communication

 one way (simplex)


 Two-way (full duplex or half duplex)
 Analog
 Digital signals
Simplex
Full Duplex
Half Duplex
Analog Signals
 Is a smoothly and continuously varying
voltage or current
Digital Signals
 Do not vary continuously but change in steps
or in discrete increments.

 Use binary or two –state codes


Modulation and Multiplexing
 Modulation – makes the information signal
more compatible with the medium
 Multiplexing – allows more than one signal to
be transmitted concurrently over a single
medium
Baseband Transmission
 Putting the original voice, video or digital
signals directly to the medium
Broadband transmission
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
 EM waves are signals that oscillate; i.e.,the
amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields
vary at a specific rate
 The frequency is measures in cycles per
seconds (cps) or hertz (Hz)
 The range of electromagnetic signals
encompassing all frequencies
Frequency
 Frequency is the number of times a particular
phenomenon occurs in a given period of time.
 Is the number of cycles of a repetitive wave
that occurs in a given period of time.
 One cps = 1 Hz
Wavelength
 The distance occupied by one cycle of wave
