1.1 Introduction
Today’s communication:

Complex mixture of proprietary and nonproprietary
technologies
Both analog and digital technologies
Fast pace of innovation and technology offerings
Overwhelming introduction of new products,
terminologies, abbreviations
Basic understanding of the fundamentals concepts of
telecommunications helps us understand new
offerings and their limitations

Frequency Domain – information represented by multiple periodic sinusoidal
waves at different frequencies (i.e., Frequency Bandwidth)
Transducer Devices are used to transform information energy from one form
to another. Examples:
3
Microphone – acoustic to electrical
Antenna – electrical to electromagnetic
Communication Signals
We will concentrate on electrical and electromagnetic
(EM) signals
The “Medium” in which the signal travels (air, copper,
space, etc.)
Guided Medium –electrical, RF (subset of EM), and optical
signals
Unguided Medium – EM signals
4
Conductive wires (ex. copper, aluminum, gold, silver, etc.)
Fiber Optic (FO) cables (ex. glass, plastic, etc.)
Radio Frequency (RF)
Free Space Optics (FSO)
Analog Versus Digital Signals
Analog Signal – continuous over time, infinite number of
samples over time and infinite number of amplitude
values per sample
Digital Signal – discrete binary values {0, 1}
In order to transmit {0, 1} over guided and unguided medium,
binary values must be mapped to electrical values (e.g., voltage)
or EM values in field strength
How do you communicate information if you are only allowed to
transmit discrete 0s and 1s?
The concept is to use several binary digits grouped together to
represent a symbol (i.e., mapped or encoded)
5
Example: 10001000 can be mapped to a symbol “A”, pixel color “blue”,
system status “GO”, etc.
In this case eight bits can represent 28=256 different symbols, therefore it
is critical to frame binary data appropriately
1.2 Introduction to the OSI Reference Model
To enable electronic communications, there must be
agreements established between communicating entities
in the form of protocols and interface standards
The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI ) model
developed by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) provides a conceptual, layered
architecture framework for understanding data
communications
Seven-layered OSI reference model:
Primary Focus for
telecommunications,
although all layers are
critical
6
1.2 Introduction to the OSI Reference Model
Layer 1 (Physical Layer): Physical interface/medium where information is
exchanged in the form of electrical signals, optical and electromagnetic energy
(hardware, transmission medium, interface specifications, etc.)
Layer 2 (Data Link Layer): Node-to-node communications within a
“common network”. Information exists in logical digital format (1’s and 0’s) and
is framed into symbols, and exchanged over a common network (ex., Ethernet,
Token Ring, PPP, FR, ATM, etc. – it should be noted than these standard examples
describe both layers 1 and 2)
Layer 3 (Network Layer): Provides an end-to-end transmission capability to
transport data from source to destination over disparate Layer 2 networks. (ex.,
IP, etc.)
Layer 4 (Transport Layer): Enables the existence of multiple connectionoriented and connectionless data exchanges between end nodes. Ensures that
data is transmitted and received to/from the intended applications (ex.,TCP, UDP,
etc.)
7
1.2 Introduction to the OSI Reference Model
Layer 5 (Session Layer): Manages communication sessions between end
users. (ex., may include e-commerce, messaging, transaction processing, etc.)
Layer 6 (Presentation Layer): Provides information on how data should be
presented. (ex., .jpg, .tiff, .gif, ASCII, Unicode, .mpg, etc.)
Layer 7 (Application Layer): User applications (ex., .doc, .xls, .xml, telnet,
ftp, .ppt, etc.)

1.3 Introduction to Networks
A network is a set of nodes interconnected through a
physical medium
Networks can be connected in many ways.
Node: connection point (ex., switch, hub, router, etc.)
Question: How many links should interconnect network nodes?
Answer: Depends upon the availability/reliability needs associated
with the network itself.
Full Mesh Network versus Partial Mesh Network
10
Number of links required in a full mesh network defined by the
following equation where X represents the number of links and N is
the number of nodes.
1.3 Introduction to Networks
1
X = [N(N-1)]/2
2
8
X: number of trunks
N: number of nodes

Example 8-node network, N = 8
X = [8(7)]/2 = 56/2 = 28

This can be a very expensive and
complex network to implement!

What if you added a node?

What’s the disadvantage of the network
above?
Ans: single point failure
Is this a better network layout?
12
The number of links between nodes will depend upon the
reliability/availability needs of the network itself.
1.3 Introduction to Networks
Data: Data is raw without context or meaning
Information: Accumulated data that provides context that can be
interpreted
Knowledge: Information that is “actionable”
Link: Communications path between two nodes (a circuit will be
comprised of one or more links).
Circuit: End-to-end communications path between two or more points.
May consists of one or more links.
Trunk: Similar to links except supporting multiple circuits or users.
Physical Connection: Describes the physical path between
communicating ends.
Virtual Connection: Similar to a physical connection, except that the
actual path is shared between a number of users. Users may not know
that they are actually sharing a physical path with others. Associated
with digital communication.

1.3 Introduction to Networks
Multiplexer: Device that aggregates multiple user connections together (ex.,
frequency or time division multiplexers)
Guided Medium: Signal transmission that uses a medium which “guides” the
signal along a physical path (ex., coaxial cable, twisted pair, fiber optic cable, etc.)
Unguided Medium: Signal transmission that occurs in “free space” where it
is not specifically contained (ex., air, vacuum of space, etc.)
Dedicated Circuit: Dedicated circuits are distinct, physical circuits
dedicated to directly connecting devices across a network
Switches: Node that reads source and destination addresses, and transmits
the data to the correct physical link according to the destination address.
(compared to HUB devices)
Circuit Switch: Network allocates a dedicated physical path through the network
for the duration of the connection.
Packet Switch: Network allocates a virtual path through the network.
16
Connection-Oriented Packet Switch: Virtual path through the network established
before data is exchanged
Connectionless Packet Switch: No virtual path is established prior to data being
exchanged

More efficient use of network resources than dedicated circuits and
better extensibility
Virtual (digital only)
Efficient use of network resources → lowers provider costs
Circuit Switched (defined physical network path for duration of
session, connection-oriented)
Packet Switched
21
Connectionless - no defined path through the physical network
Connection-Oriented – connection established prior to data exchange
1.3 Introduction to Networks
Transmitter: Transmitters send analog or digital signals through
guided or unguided mediums.
Receiver: Receivers detect signal transmissions from guided or
unguided mediums.
Transceiver: Combination device that both transmits and
receives signals.
Full-duplex: Communicating devices can transmit and receive
signals simultaneously. (ex., telephone)
Half-duplex: Communicating devices share the same medium or
channel, and must take turns transmiting and receiving. (ex., pushto-talk, PTT, radios)
Simplex: Communications only occurs in a single direction. (ex.
Broadcast radio)
22
The Physical Layer (electricity & EM)
➢
To understand how electrical and EM signals propagate though medium, we need a
basic understanding of how electricity works
➢
Voltage, Current, Impedance (Resistance + Reactance), Power,
Frequency
➢
➢
➢
➢
Ohm’s Law: V(volts) = I (amperes) x Z (Ohms), how voltage and current react to load
Power: P(Watts) = VI = I2R = V2/R, voltage & current required to perform work on a load
Conductor wire diameter (Gauge – AWG): smaller wire diameter means greater signal
resistance
DC (direct current ) versus AC (alternating current)
➢
With AC, frequency of electrical current impacts electrical characteristics of the circuit (e.g.,
higher frequency introduces higher signal resistance and time-varying reactive components

1.5 Electromagnetic Wave Theory
Signal current that flows through a conductor creates an
electromagnetic (EM) wave, which is proportional to the
current.
The EM wave propagates through free-space, and can then
create a signal current in a another conductor (i.e.,
antenna)
Any signal (electrical current or EM wave) that carries
information, will have an associated frequency bandwidth:
Frequency Bandwidth (BW) = f highest frequency – f lowest frequency

A signal containing information has an associated
frequency bandwidth.
We can modulate the signal into a higher frequency using
a carrier wave.
The carrier wave, which contains no information, is used to
raise the signal to a higher frequency (i.e., to the carrier’s
frequency). This is termed modulation.
The resulting signal after modulation is called a passband,
or modulated carrier.
Modulation enables us to separate signals in a noninterfering basis.

1.5 Electromagnetic Wave Theory
36
EM signal power resides in the surface area of a travelling
wave.
As it travels from the transmitting antenna, the signal
spreads and therefore weakens with distance.
Power density (watts per unit surface area) is a way to
determine the amount of power available to a receiving
antenna.
To illustrate, we define an ideal isotropic antenna, which
is a perfect omnidirectional “point” antenna that spreads
its power over the surface of a perfect sphere.
1.5 Electromagnetic Wave Theory
37
1.6 Optical Signals
We use both radio frequency (RF) and optical signal
for communications; however, although both are
considered EM waves, they behave very differently.
38
RF signal exhibit “wave-like” behavior
Optical signals exhibit both “wave-like” and “particle” behaviors
Optical waves are immune from radio frequency interference
(RFI)
RF waves are produced by electrical current traveling through
a conductor
Optical signals are produced by photons
Optical signals are much higher in frequency (THz region) than
RF signals (3kHz to 300GHz)

1 Watt = 1E3 mW = 1000 mW
1mW = 1E-3W = 0.001 W
In communication systems, power in decibels is referenced to a
standard unit of power such as 1 watt or 1 milliwatt (1E-3 watt).
Examples: Power referenced to 1 Watt
10W referenced to 1 W: Y(dB)=10log10(10w/1w) = 10 dBW
100W ref to 1W:
Y(dB)=10log10(100w/1w) = 20 dBW
1000W ref to 1W:
Y(dB)=10log10(1000w/1w) = 30 dBW
10,000W ref to 1W:
Y(dB)=10log10(10,000w/1w) =40 dBW
100,000W ref to 1W:
Y(dB)=10log10(100,000w/1w) = 50 dBW
Do you see a
pattern here?
Examples: Power referenced to 1 milliWatt (mW)
10mW referenced to 1 mW: Y(dB)=10log10(10mw/1mw) = 10 dBm
100mW ref to 1mW:
Y(dB)=10log10(100mw/1mw) = 20 dBm
1000mW ref to 1mW:
Y(dB)=10log10(1000mw/1mw) = 30 dBm
10,000mW ref to 1mW:
Y(dB)=10log10(10,000mw/1mw) =40 dBm
100,000mW ref to 1mW:
Y(dB)=10log10(100,000mw/1mw) = 50 dBm

If Y=logbX, then X=bY
Y(dBW) = 10 log10X/1W, then X(W) = 10(Y/10)

dBW = dBm - 30
Notice that as the value of watts or
milliwatts increases dramatically,
decibel values remain at a
“manageable” size.
This is due to the logarithmic scale
of decibel values.
This is also one of the reason why
we use decibel values when
addressing communication metrics.

Analog Message/Analog Signal
Analog information such as voice has a frequency
bandwidth of approximately 4kHz.
Analog baseband signal (message)
Electrical or E-M signal
Typically modulate this information onto a higher carrier
frequency.
MODEM (Modulator Demodulator)
Most baseband messages/information, are aperiodic
(i.e., non-repeating pattern)
For illustration, a simple periodic sinusoidal waveform is used
Carrier waves are always periodic
9
Represented by either a sine or cosine wave
Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal
Demonstration Purposes: baseband periodic signal:
Message: m(t)=Amsin(2πfmt ±ɸ) or m(t)=Amcos(2πfmt ±ɸ)
m(t) is the baseband voice signal amplitude at any time t (seconds)
Am is the amplitude of the signal (typically in volts)
fm is the frequency of the message
ɸ is the phase angle of the signal in radians
The carrier wave is periodic
Carrier: c(t)=Acsin(2πfct ±ɸ) or c(t)=Accos(2πfct ±ɸ)
10
c(t) is the carrier signal amplitude at any time t (seconds)
Ac is the amplitude of the signal (typically in volts)
fc is the frequency of the message
ɸ is the phase angle of the signal in radians
Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (ex., voice)
The carrier is modulated by the message wave. The modulated
carrier wave is referred to as the transmitted signal wave, s(t)
Three simple ways we can modulate the carrier is by changing
the carrier’s amplitude (Ac), frequency (fc), or phase (ɸ) in direct
proportion to changes in m(t).

Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (AM)
In Amplitude Modulation (AM), the carrier’s amplitude
is modified by the message wave.
Carrier wave: c(t)=Accos(2πfct ±ɸ)
Ac is modified by the message, m(t)=Amcos(2πfmt ±ɸ)
The message, m(t), modulates the carrier waveform, thus
resulting in the signal s(t)
s(t)=(Ac+m(t))cos(2πfct ±ɸ)
=(Ac + Amcos(2πfmt ±ɸ))cos(2πfct ±ɸ)
For simplicity, we say that phase, ɸ=0, therefore,
12
s(t)=(Ac + Amcos(2πfmt ))cos(2πfct )
Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (AM)
We define the AM modulation index as µAM=Am/Ac , where
µAM (Greek letter mu), must be a value within 0≤µAM≤1 in order
to avoid signal distortion
We want µAM to be part of the transmitted signal equation s(t),
therefore we rearrange µAM :
Am= Ac * µAM
µAM=Am/Ac , where 0≤µAM≤1, AM Modulation Index
s(t)=(Ac + Amcos(2πfmt ))cos(2πfct )
=(Ac + Ac * µAM cos(2πfmt ))cos(2πfct )
= Ac(1+ µAM cos(2πfmt ))cos(2πfct ), AM Modulation Equation
Note: We could have used sine vice sine waves; use of either would be okay
13
Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (AM example)
Time Domain
m(t) = Am cos(2πfmt ± φm) = 10 cos(2π15kHz*t)
s(t) = Ac (1+ μ Am cos(2fmt))cos(2fct)
= 10[1 + 1cos(2π15kHz*t)]cos(2π100kHz*t)
c(t) = Ac cos(2πfct ± φc) = 10 cos(2π100kHz*t)
14
μ Am = Am/Ac
= 10/10 = 1, 0≤µAM≤1
Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (AM)
Carrier wave is represented by a single frequency
Message wave contains information and has an associated
frequency bandwidth (ex., voice BW=4kHz)
Therefore, signal s(t) will also have a frequency
bandwidth.
It is important to view s(t) in the frequency domain.

Analog and Digital Telecommunications
When information is carried in the time domain, there is
always an associated frequency bandwidth in the
frequency domain.
18
The greater the frequency bandwidth, the greater the
information carrying capability, and visa versa.
Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (FM)
Information can be captured by changing the carrier
frequency (frequency modulation) or carrier phase
(phase modulation) in proportion to m(t).
Message: m(t)=Amcos(2πfmt ±ɸ)
Carrier: c(t)=Accos(2πfct ±ɸ)
Frequency Modulation (FM)
19
Voltage controlled oscillators (Kvco) converts message
amplitude changes into frequency changes - Kvco unit is
Hz/volts
Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (FM)
FM Index has a similar role as the AM Index – it provides
a metric regarding the quality of the FM signal
FM Index: = ∆f/fm = (Kvco*Am)/fm, where
(greak letter “beta”) is the FM modulation Index
∆f represents the carrier frequency change
fm represents the maximum message frequency
Kvco represents the voltage controlled oscillator which coverts
message amplitude into carrier frequency changes
Am is the peak/maximum amplitude of the message signal
Carrier signal: c(t) = Ac cos (2πfct ± φ)
Message modifies fc

Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (FM)
Carrier signal: c(t) = Ac cos (2πfct ± φ)
Message Signal: m(t) = Am cos (2πfmt ± φ)
Assume: phase angle equal to zero; Φ=0
Note: Students are not responsible for
the derivation of the FM equation
c(t) = Ac cos (2πfct)
s(t) = Ac cos (2πfct + 2π * Kvco ∫m(t)dt)
= Ac cos (2πfct + 2πKvco ∫ Am cos (2πfmt ± φ)dt)
= Ac cos (2πfct + 2πKvcoAm∫cos (2πfmt ± φ)dt)
Integration: ∫cos (2πfmt ± φ)dt = 1/(2πfm)*sin(2πfmt)
21
s(t) = Ac cos (2πfct + (2πKvcoAm)/(2πfm)*sin(2πfmt))
s(t) = Ac cos (2πfct + (KvcoAm)/(fm)*sin(2πfmt))
s(t) = Ac cos (2πfct + βFM *sin(2πfmt))
Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (FM) example
Carrier signal: c(t) = Ac cos (2πfct) = 10 cos (2π 100,000Hz t)
Message Signal: m(t)=Amcos(2πfmt ±ɸ) = 10cos(2π 10,000Hz t)
FM Index: = ∆f/fm = (Kvco*Am)/fm = 5000*10/10,000Hz = 5
where Kvco = 5,000(Hz/volt)
Resulting Signal, s(t) = Ac cos (2πfct + βFM *sin(2πfmt))
= 10 cos (2π 100,000Hz t + 5 *sin(2π 10,000Hz t))

FM Index: = ∆f/fm = (Kvco*Am)/fm = 5000*10/10,000Hz = 5
where Kvco = 5,000(Hz/volt)
Resulting Signal, s(t) = Ac cos (2πfct + βFM *sin(2πfmt))
= 10 cos (2π 100,000Hz t + 5 *sin(2π 10,000Hz t))
Frequency Bandwidth = 2fm(1+) = 2*10,000Hz(1+5) = 120 kHz

Note: Students are not responsible for
the derivation of the PM equation
c(t) = Ac cos (2πfct ± φ)
s(t) = Ac cos (2πfct + kp*m(t))
s(t) = Ac cos (2πfct + kp* Am cos (2πfmt))
kp= μp /Am
s(t) = Ac cos (2πfct + μp cos (2πfmt))
26
Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (PM) example
Message: m(t)=Amcos(2πfmt) = 10 cos(2π 50kHz t)
Carrier: c(t)=Accos(2πfct ±ɸ) = 10 cos(2π 200kHz ±ɸ)
Phase Modulation (PM) Index: μp=Kp*Am = 0.3 * 10 = 3
Kp (radians/volts) = 0.3
s(t) = Ac cos (2πfct + μp cos (2πfmt))
= 10 cos (2π 200kHz t + 3 cos (2π 50kHz t))

27
Analog and Digital Telecommunications
Analog Message/Analog Signal (PM) frequency domain
PM Bandwidth = 2(μp+1)fm
Compare to FM Bandwidth = 2(1+)fm
FM and PM are termed angular modulation techniques
However, modulation techniques cannot be used
interchangeably – i.e., you must use one or the other
28
Example - You cannot modulate with FM and expect to be
able to demodulate using PM!
