The function of a receiver in a binary Communication system is to distinguish between two transmitted signals (or) () in the presence of noise.
The performance of Receiver is usually measured in terms of the probability of error Pe and the receiver is said to be optimum if it yields the minimum probability of error.
i.e, optimum receiver is the one with minimum probability of error Pe .
optimum receiver takes the form of Matched filter when the noise at the receiver input is white noise.

until now, we assumed to a Network means homogeneous, which consists of number of machines all are using same protocol in each layer.
But in real a number of networks like LANs, WANs with numerous protocols in each layer are connected together to form internet.
The main reasons for internetworking are:
Some computers use TCP/IP, but some may use IBM’s SNA and a substantial number of telephone companies uses ATM N/W’s and some are still using Novell NCP/IPX (or) Apple talk.
i.e, The installed base of different N/W’s is large.
The cost of computers and N/W’s cheaper there is a possibility of having more N/W’s and protocols.
Let’s see an example, How Networks are connected?
In this figure we have wide area ATM network , FDDI ring, wireless LAN and SNA’s main frame Network all are connected together.
The main reason for interconnecting all these Network’s is to
Allow users in one network will communicate with users in other networks.
and also, to access data (from one network to other).
This happens when we exchange packets between number of networks (which is not a simple task).
How Networks differ?
Networks may differ in different ways,
i.e, at physical layer- The modulation techniques differ at DLL – frame formats.
we just see here the differences in network layer.
when a sender in one network need to send packets to different Networks at the interfaces between Networks many problems may occur.
when packets from a CO-N/W to CL-N/W flows, we may require protocol conversion.
In some cases, Address conversions also be needed (i.e, a kind of directory system is required). Passing Multicast packets to a Network, which may not support Multicasting is a problem.
Packet size in different N/W’s is a big issue, a N/W supports a packet of size 8000 bytes when given to a N/W packet size as 1500 bytes.
i.e, The problems we may face when N/W’s differ are listed below.
When a CT band limited signal is sampled at , then the successive cycles of the spectrum of the sampled signal overlap with each other as shown below
Some aliasing is produced in the signal this is due to under sampling.
aliasing is the phenomenon in which a high frequency component in the frequency spectrum of the signal takes as a low frequency component in the spectrum of the sampled signal.
Because of aliasing it is not possible to reconstruct x(t) from g(t) by low pass filtering.
The spectral components in the overlapping regions and hence the signal is distorted.
Since any information signal contains a large no.of frequencies so the decision of sampling frequency is always become a problem.
A signal is first passed through LPF before sampling.
i.e, it is band limited by this LPF which is known as pre-alias filter.
To avoid aliasing
Pre-alias filter must be used to limit the band width of the signal to Hz.
Sampling frequency must be
Pre-alias filter means before sampling is passed through a LPF to make a perfect band limited signal.

At high frequencies, the current is almost confined to a very thin sheet at the surface of the conductor which is used in many applications.

Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) (or) On Off Keying (OOK) is the simplest Digital Modulation technique.
In this method, carrier amplitude is switched between two voltages ON and OFF levels depending up on the input binary sequence.
The carrier signal is a continuous wave (or) sinusoidal wave form
.
The normalized power is
.
The carrier signal can be expresses in terms of power as .
if energy per bit is and the bit interval as then the carrier signal is .
Now according to ASK Binary ‘1’ is represented with carrier voltage and Binary ‘0’ is represented with zero voltage.
in terms of Energy and bit duration ASK signal can be written as

ASK Transmitter:-
The figure shows the ASK generator (or) ASK Transmitter
It is a simple product Modulator, which modulates the incoming binary sequence (in the form of a signal) with the carrier signal S(t)
i.e,
b(t) represents the binary sequence in the form of a signal.
when the input bit (or) symbol is Binary ‘1’ product Modulator passes the carrier signal and for Binary’0′, A zero output is given which blocks the carrier signal.

is multiplied by local carrier C(t) this carrier C(t) is phase locked with that of the carrier used in the Transmitter. As this is coherent reception.
The product is applied to the Integrator. The Integrator integrates the input over one bit interval and the output is given to a threshold device. If the threshold voltage is set to 0 V.
the output of threshold device v(t) (or) v is either ‘1’ (or) ‘0’ based on the following condition.
Note:- The input to demodulator is not always most of the times it is interfered with noise n(t) in the channel.

In order to consider the working of a diode, we shall consider the effect of forward and Reverse Bias across PN-junction.
Forward Bias:-
Forward Bias means the Positive terminal of the Battery has been connected to P-type and negative terminal to N-type in a PN-junction diode that is when an external voltage is applied to PN-junction in such a way that it cancels the barrier potential and permits the current flow such a bias is called as Forward-Bais.
Under No Bias voltage condition, Near the junction the holes moves towards the junction and electrons as well forms a region known as Depletion region, the region depleted with immobile ions .
when the applied voltage V establishes an electric field opposite to the potential barrier , as a result the width of the potential barrier is reduced as it is very small
0.3 Volts in Ge diode and
0.7 Volts in Si diode.
∴ a small voltage (V) is sufficient to completely eliminate the barrier that is the barrier is completely eliminated and the resistance at the junction becomes zero and the current flow across the diode can be explained as follows.
Now holes move towards junction simultaneously electrons since holes and electrons were repelled by the opposite terminals of the Battery, As the Battery voltage is sufficiently greater than barrier voltage electrons and holes gets sufficient energy to cross the barrier easily.
The continuous current in external circuit is due to electrons, the current in N-type material is due to movement of free electrons, when these electrons reaches the junction they combine with the holes at the junction and releases a new electron.Similarly, in the P-type region current is due to holes.
i.e, when an electron-hole combination takes place near the junction , A co-valent bond near positive terminal of the battery breaks down and it liberates an electron which moves towards positive terminal of the Battery as electron movement is towards positive terminal of the Battery this can be treated as hole movement in opposite direction.
therefore the constant movement of electrons and holes towards opposite terminals creates a high forward current in the external circuit.
PN-juction Diode in Reverse-Bias:-
When an External voltage V is applied to a PN-junction in such a way(direction) that it increases the Potential barrier is called as Reverse Bias that is Positive terminal of the Battery connected to N-type and negative terminal to P-type.
The applied voltage V acts in the Same direction to that of Potential Barrier.
that is when the PN-junction is Reverse Biased
The junction Potential Barrier width increases.
The junction offers higher resistance.
electrons and holes move away from the junction and a very small current flows through the junction because of minority carriers known as Reverse saturation current.
For Normal operation of NPN Transistor Emitter junction JE is Forward Biased and Collector junction JC is Reverse Biased.
The applied Forward Biased at Emitter-Base junction injects a large number of electrons into the N-region and these electrons have enough energy to overcome the JE junction and enter into the very thin lightly doped Base region.
Since Base is very lightly doped very few electrons recombine with the holes in the P-type Base region and constitutes a small Base current IB in μA.
The electrons in the Emitter region are more when compared to electrons in the Collector. Only 5% (or) 1% of injected electrons combines with the holes in Base to produce IB and remaining 95% (or0 99% of electrons diffuse into Collector region due to extremely small thickness of Base.
Since Collector junction is Reverse-Biased a strong Electro-static field develops between Base and Collector. The field immediately collects the diffused electrons which enters Collector junction and are collected by the Collector(Positive electrode).
Thus injected electrons from Emitter reaches Collector constituting a current known as Thus Emitter current is sum of Base current and Collector current. is very small in the Base region.
Current directions are always from negative to positive and Majority carriers are electrons in NPN Transistor.
NPN Transistor is preferred over PNP since the mobility of electron is more than that of hole that is electron moves faster than holes.
PNP Transistor Working:-
For Normal operation of PNP Transistor Emitter junction JE is forward Biased and Collector junction JC is reverse biased.
The applied FB at Emitter-Base junction injects a large number of holes in the P-type emitter region and these holes have enough energy to enter into very thin lightly doped Base region. Base is very lightly doped N-type region. Therefore very few holes combines with the Base region and constitutes a small Base current IB (in Micro Amperes).
The holes in the Emitter region are more when compared to holes in the collector region.Only 5% or 1% of injected holes from Emitter combines with the electrons in the Base to produce IB and remaining 95% (or) 99% of holes diffuse into Collector region due to extremely small thickness of Base.
Since Collector junction is Reverse-Biased a strong Electro-static field develops between Base and Collector. The field immediately collects the diffused holes which enters Collector junction and are collected by the Collector(negative electrode).
Thus injected holes from Emitter reaches Collector constituting a current known as , is very small in the Base region.
In a pure Semi conductor number of electrons = number of holes. Thermal agitation (increase in temperature) produces new electron-hole pairs and these electron-hole pair combines produces new charge particles.
one particle is of negative charge which is known as free electron with mobility another in with positive charge known as free hole with mobility .

Let the Band Width of an amplifier without feedback is = BW. Band width of an amplifier with negative feed back is . Negative feedback increases Band width.
Proof:- Consider an amplifier with gain ‘A’
Now the frequency response of the amplifier is as shown in the figure. Frequency response curve means gain (dB) Vs frequency (Hz)
the frequency response of an amplifier consists of three regions
Low frequency region ( -lower cut off frequency).
Mid frequency region ( between and ).
High frequency region ( the region -upper cutoff frequency)
Gain in low- frequency region is given as,
-open loop gain,

– lower cut off frequency, where Gain in constant region is .
Gain in High-frequency region is .
In low-frequency region:-
since open loop gain in low-frequency region is and gain with feedback is
From EQN(I) after substituting in the above equation
Now by dividing the whole expression with
, where and
for example lower cut-off frequency implies is decreasing with negative feedback.
In High-frequency region:-
Gain with out feed back in High frequency region is
Now Gain with negative feed back is
Substituting in the above equation
Now by dividing the whole expression with
, where and
for example lower cut-off frequency implies is increasing with negative feedback.
In Mid-frequency region:-
Gain with out feed back is
and the gain with negative feed back is
With out feedback
With feedback
lower cut-off frequency is
lower cut-off frequency , increases
upper cut-off frequency is
upper cut-off frequency is
BW =
increases
Thus negative feedback decreases lower cut-off frequency and increases upper cut-off frequency.
Over all gain decreases with negative feedback and Band Width increases.
There are 4 different combinations possible with negative feedback in Amplifiers as given below

Voltage-Shunt.
Current-Shunt.
The first part represents the type of sampling at the output .
i.e , Voltage- Shunt connection.

Colpitt’s Oscillator is an excellent circuit and is widely used in commercial signal generators upto 100MHz.
It consists of a single-stage inverting amplifier and an LC phase shift Network.

The amplifier circuit is a self-Bias Circuit with , and parallel combination of with .

These capacitors and provides a path from Collector to Base through LC Network.
when is switched on , a transient current is produced in the tank circuit an consequently damped oscillations are setup in the circuit.
The oscillatory current in the tank circuit produces a.c voltages across and . If terminal 1 is more positive w.r. to 2 , then voltages across and are opposite thus providing a phase shift of between 1 and 2.
as the transistor is operating in CE mode , it provides a phase shift of .
Therefore the over all phase shift provided by the circuit results which is an essential condition for developing oscillations.
If the feedback is adjusted so that the loop gain then then the circuit acts as an Oscillator.

The continuity equation of the current is based on the principle of conservation of charge that is the charge can neither be created not destroyed.
consider a closed surface S with a current density , then the total current I crossing the surface S is given by the volume V
The current coming out of the closed surface is
since the direction of current is in the direction of positive charges, positive charges also move out of the surface because of the current I.
According to principle of conversation of charge, there must be decrease of an equal amount of positive charge inside the closed surface.
therefore the time rate of decrease of charge with in a given volume must be equal to the net outward current flow through the closed surface of the volume.
By Divergence theorem
implies
for a constant surface the derivative becomes the partial derivative
-this is for the whole volume.
for a differential volume
, which is called as continuity of current equation (or) Point form (or) differential form of the continuity equation.
This equation is derived based on the principle of conservation charge states that there can be no accumulation of charge at any point.
for steady (dc) currents
from . The total charge leaving a volume is the same as total charge entering it. Kirchhoff’s law follows this equation.
This continuity equation states that the current (or) the charge per second, diverging from a small volume per unit volume is equal to the time rate of decrease of charge per unit volume at every point.
The starting point of Fourier Series is the development of representation of signals as linear combination (sum of) of a set of basic signals.
The alternative representation if a set of complex exponentials are used,
The resulting representations are known as Fourier Series in Continuous-Time . Here we focus on representation of Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time periodic signals in terms of basic signals as Fourier Series and extend the analysis to the Fourier Transform representation of broad classes of aperiodic, finite energy signals.
These Fourier Series & Fourier Transform representations are most powerful tools used
In the analyzation of signals and LTI systems.
Designing of Signals & Systems.
Gives insight to S&S.
The development of Fourier series analysis has a long history involving a great many individuals and the investigation of many different physical phenomena.
The concept of using “Trigonometric Sums”, that is sum of harmonically related sines and cosines (or) periodic complex exponentials are used to predict astronomical events.
Similarly, if we consider the vertical deflection of the string at time t and at a distance x along the string then for any fixed instant of time, the normal modes are harmonically related sinusoidal functions of x.
The scientist Fourier’s work, which motivated him physically was the phenomenon of heat propagation and diffusion. So he found that the temperature distribution through a body can be represented by using harmonically related sinusoidal signals.
In addition to this he said that any periodic signal could be represented by such a series.
Fourier obtained a representation for aperiodic (or) non-periodic signals not as weighted sum of harmonically related sinusoidals but as weighted integrals of Sinusoids that are not harmonically related, which is known as Fourier Integral (or) Fourier Transform.
In mathematics, we use the analysis of Fourier Series and Integrals in
The theory of Integration.
Point-set topology.
and in the eigen function expansions.
In addition to the original studies of vibration and heat diffusion, there are numerous other problems in science and Engineering in which sinusoidal signals arise naturally, and therefore Fourier Series and Fourier T/F’s plays an important role.
for example, Sine signals arise naturally in describing the motion of the planets and the periodic behavior of the earth’s climate.
A.C current sources generate sinusoidal signals as voltages and currents. As we will see the tools of Fourier analysis enable us to analyze the response of an LTI system such as a circuit to such Sine inputs.
Waves in the ocean consists of the linear combination of sine waves with different spatial periods (or) wave lengths.
Signals transmitted by radio and T.V stations are sinusoidal in nature as well.
The problems of mathematical physics focus on phenomena in Continuous Time, the tools of Fourier analysis for DT signals and systems have their own distinct historical roots and equally rich set of applications.
In particular, DT concepts and methods are fundamental to the discipline of numerical analysis , formulas for the processing of discrete sets of data points to produce numerical approximations for interpolation and differentiation were being investigated.
FFT known as Fast Fourier Transform algorithm was developed, which suited perfectly for efficient digital implementation and it reduced the time required to compute transform by orders of magnitude (which utilizes the DTFS and DTFT practically).
The range of values of the complex variable s for which Laplace Transform converges is called the Region of Convergence (ROC).
i.e, The region of Convergence (or) existence of signal’s Laplace transform X(S) is the set of values of s for which the integral defining the direct L T/F X(S) converges.
The ROC is required for evaluating the inverse L T/F of x(t) from X(S).
i.e, the operation of finding the inverse T/F requires an integration in the complex plane.
i.e, .
The path of integration is along S-plane that is along with varying from and moreover , the path of integration must lie in the ROC for X(S).
for example the signal , this is possible if so the path of integration is shown in the figure
Thus to obtain from , the integration is performed through this path for the function . such integration in the complex plane requires a back ground in the theory of functions of complex variables.
so we can avoid this integration by compiling a Table of L T/F’s . so for inverse L T/F’s we use this table instead of performing complex integration.
specific constraints on the ROC are closely associated with time-domain properties of x(t).
Properties of ROC/ constraints (or) Limitations:-
1.The ROC of X(S) consists of strips parallel to the axis in the S-plane.
i.e, The ROC of X(S) consists of the values of s for which Fourier T/F of converges this is possible if is fully integrable thus the condition depends only on . Hence ROC is the strips (bands) which is only in terms of values of .

3. For Rational Laplace T/F’s , the ROC does not contain any poles. This is because X(S) is finite at poles and the integral can not be converge at this point.
4. If x(t) is of finite duration and absolutely integrable, then the ROC is the entire S-plane.
5. If x(t) is right-sided and if the line is in the ROC, then all values of s for which will also be in the ROC.
i.e, if the signal is right-sided then for ROC : .
6. If x(t) is left-sided and if the line is in the ROC, then all values of s for which will also be in the ROC.
7. If x(t) is two-sided and if the line is in the ROC, then the ROC consists of a strip in the s-plane that includes the line .
for the both sided signal , the ROC lies in the region . This ROC is the strip parallel to axis in the s-plane.
8. If the L T/F X(S) of x(t) is rational, then it’s ROC is bounded by poles (or) extends to infinity in addition no poles of X(s) are contained in the ROC.
If the function has two poles , then ROC will be area between these two poles for two sided signal, if for single sided signal the area extends from one pole to infinity.
But is does not include any pole.
9. If the L T/F X(S) of x(t) is rational, then if x(t) is right-sided. The ROC is the region in the s-plane to the right of the right most pole and if x(t) is left-sided, the ROC is the region in the s-plane to the left of the left most pole.

we have already defined the signal as any ordinary function of time. To understand more about signal we consider it as a problem. A problem is better understood (or) better remembered if it can be associated with some familiar phenomenon.
we always search for analogies while studying a new problem.
i.e, In the study of abstract problems analogies are very helpful. Particularly if the problem can be shown to be analogous to some concrete phenomenon.
It is then easier to gain some insight into the new problem from the knowledge of the analogous phenomenon.
There is a perfect analogy that exists between vectors and signals which leads to a better understanding of signal analysis. we shall now briefly review the properties of vectors.
Vectors:-
A vector is specified by magnitude and direction .
Let us consider two vectors and . It is possible to find out the component of one vector along the other vector.
In order to find out the component of vector along . Let us assume it as , which is only the magnitude.
how do we represent physically the component of one vector along ? This is possible by finding the projection of one vector on to the other.
i.e, by drawing a perpendicular from to
.
There exists two other possibilities.
but these are not suitable. the error vectors are more in these cases.
.
If is the angle between two vectors and , the component of along is
.
The component of along is .
.

.
If two vectors are orthogonal .
i.e, .
Signals:-
The concept of vector comparison & orthogonality can be extended to signals.
i.e, a signal is nothing but a single-valued function of independent variable. Assume two signals and , now to approximate in terms of over .
.
.
.
Now, we choose in order to achieve the best approximation.
i.e, which keeps the error as minimum as possible.
One possible way for minimizing error is to choose minimize the average value of .
i.e, as .
But the process of averaging gives a false indication.
i.e, for example while approximating a function with a null function is
.
.
indicates that during to without any error
i.e, .
.
Average value of error is .
This seems to be error is zero but actually there exists some error.
To avoid this false indication, we choose to minimize the average of the square of the error
i.e, Mean Square Error .
.
To find value which keeps error minimum .

Which is similar to where denotes the inner product between two Real signals
For the orthogonality of two signals

whenever an EM Wave travelling in one medium impinges second medium the wave gets partially transmitted and partially reflected depending up on the type of the second medium.
Assume the first case in Normal incidence that is Normal incidence on a Perfect conductor.
i.e an EM wave propagating in free space strikes suddenly a conducting Boundary which means the other medium is a conductor.
The figure shows a plane Wave which is incident normally upon a boundary between free space and a perfect conductor.
assume the wave is propagating in positive z-axis and the boundary is z=0 plane.
The transmitted wavesince the electric field intensity inside a perfect conductor is zero.
The incident and reflected waves are in the medium 1 that is free space.
The energy transmitted is zero so the energy absorbed by the conductor is zero and entire wave is reflected to the same medium
now incident wave is
in free spacefor medium 1
( a wave propagating in positive z-direction) and the reflected wave is ( a wave propagating in positive z-direction).

This is the wave equation which represents standing wave , which is the contribution of incident and reflected waves. as this wave is stationary it does not progress.
it has maximum amplitude at odd multiples of and minimum amplitude at multiples of.
Similarly The resultant Magnetic field is

In order to find out the various types of materials in magnetic fields and their behaviour we use the knowledge of the action of magnetic field on a current loop with a simple model of an atom
Magnetic materials are classified on the basis of presence of magnetic dipole moments in the materials.
a charged particle with angular momentum always contributes to the permanent contributions to the angular moment of an atom
1. orbital magnetic dipole moment.
2. electron spin moment.
3. Nuclear spin magnetic moment.
Orbital Magnetic dipole Moment:-
The simple atomic model is one which assumes that there is a central positive nucleus surrounded by electrons in various circular orbits.
an electron in an orbit is analogous to a small current loop and as such experiences a torque in an external magnetic field, the torque tending to align the magnetic field produced by the orbiting electron with the external magnetic field.
Thus the resulting magnetic field at any point in the material would be greater than it would be at that point when the other moments were not considered.
so there are Quantum numbers which describes the orbital state of notion of electron in an atom there are n,l and ml
n-principal Quantum number, which determines the energy of an electron.
l-Orbital Quantum number which determines the angular momentum of orbit.
ml-magnetic Quantum number which determines the component of magnetic moment along the direction of an electric field.
electron spin Magnetic Moment:-
The angular momentum of an electron is called spin of the electron. as electron is a charged particle the spin of the electron produces magnetic dipole moment because electron is spinning about it’s own axis and thus generates a magnetic dipole moment.
is the value of electron spin when we consider an atom those electrons which are in shells which are not completely filled with contribute to a magnetic moment for the atom.
Nuclear spin Magnetic Moment:-
a third contribution of the moment of an atom is caused by nuclear spin this provides a negligible effect on the overall magnetic properties of material
That is the mass of the nucleus is much larger than an electron thus the dipole moments due to nuclear spin are very small.
so the total magnetic dipole moment of an atom is nothing but the summation of all the above mentioned .
The laws used in compressor of a non-uniform Quantizer are known as compression laws.
two laws are available
– law.
-law.
-law:- A particular form of compression law that is used in practice is the so called – law which is defined by
.
where – Normalized compressed output voltage.
– Normalized input voltage to the compressor.
and is a positive constant and its value decides the curvature of .
corresponds to no compression, which is the case of uniform quanization, the curve is almost linear as the value of increases signal compression increases.
is the north american standard for PCM voice telephony.
for a given value of , the reciprocal slope of the compression curve, which defines the quantum steps is given by the derivative of with respect to
we see that therefore law is neither strictly linear nor strictly logarithmic.
i.e,
It is approximately linear at low levels of input corresponding to . and is approximately logarithmic at high input levels corresponding to .
typical value of
A-law :- another compression law that is used in practice is the so called A- law defined by
A=1 corresponds to the case of uniform Quantization. A-law has been plotted for three different values of A. A=1, A=2, A=87.56.
typical value of A is 87.56 in European Commercial PCM standard which is being followed in India.
for both the -law and A-law, the dynamic range capability of the compander improves with increasing and A respectively. The SNR for low-level signals increases at the expense of the SNR for high level signals.
to accommodate these two conflicting requirements (i.e, a reasonable SNR for both low and high-level signals), a compromise is usually made in choosing the value of parameter for the -law and parameter A for the A-law. The typical values used in practice are and .
It is also interested to note that in actual PCM systems, the companding circuitry does not produce an exact replica of the non-linear compression curves shown in the compression law characteristics.
Communications refer to sending, receiving and processing of information by electrical means, that is it means exchanging information between transmitter and receiver.
In early 1840’s the type of communication used was Wire telegraphy later on the forms are as telephony, Radio communication (possible with the invention of triode tube, Satellite communications and fibre optics(with the invention of transistors and IC’s and semi-conductor devices), that means communications become more advanced with increasing emphasis on computer and other data communications.
A modern communication system is concerned with
before transmission:-
sorting:- sorting for the right message.
Processing:- processing is to make that message more suitable for transmission.
storing:- storing that message before transmission.
then the actual transmission of that message takes place (processing and filtering noise)
at the receiver:-
decoding:-decoding the original message.
storage:-storing a copy of that message.
interpretation:-and analyzing for the correctness of that message.
the different forms of modern communication systems includes Mobile communications,Computer communications, Radio telemetry etc.
to become familiar with communication systems one needs to know about amplifiers and oscillators that means fundamentals of electronic circuits must be known, with these concepts as a background the every day communication concepts like noise, modulation and information theory as well as various types of systems may be studied.
The most general form of Communication system ( one or two blocks may differ) is shown in the figure basic terminology used in Communication systems is message signal /information/data,channel,noise,modulation, encoding and decoding. Communication system is meant for communicating messages between Transmitter and Receiver (or) source & destination.
source:-
source or information source is the primary block in communication system which generates original message / actual message.
i.e, selecting one message (actual message) from a group of messages itself is called as sorting data (or) information. Source generates message which may be in any form like words, code , symbols, sound signal, images, videos etc.among these the desired message has been selected and conveyed.
A transducer is one which converts one form of energy into electrical energy because the message from information source may not be always in electrical form, a transducer is used in between source and transmitter as a separate block sometimes (or) may be a part of Tx r.
Transmitter:-
Txr is meant for the following tasks
restriction of range of audio frequencies (i.e, limiting the bandwidth of the message signal).
Amplification.
Modulation.
In general modulation is said to be the main function of the transmitter.
Channel:-
The medium that exists between transmitter and receiver is called as channel. The function of channel is to provide connection between transmitter and receiver, two types of channels are there wired/point to point and wireless/broadcasting channels.
Point to point channels are generally wired channels(i.e, a physical medium exists) like Microwave links, optical fibre links etc.
Microwave links:- these links are used in telephone transmission.In these type of links guided EM waves are used to transmit from Txr to Rxr.
optical fibre links:- used in low-loss high speed data transmission and uses optical fibers as the medium .
Broadcast channels:- the medium or channel is wireless here, in broadcasting a single transmitter can send information to many receivers simultaneously, satellite broadcasting system is one such system.
during the process of transmission and reception, the signal gets distorted due to noise in the channel, noise may interfere with the signal at any point but noise in the channel has greatest effect on the signal.
Receiver:-
The main function of the receiver is to reproduce the message signal in electrical form from the distorted received signal. This reproduction process is called demodulation (or) detection , in general this demodulation may be assumed as the reverse process of modulation carried out in transmission.
there are a great variety of receivers in communication systems, the type of receiver chosen depends on type of modulation, operating frequency ,its range and type of destination required. Most common receiver is superheterodyne receiver .
crystal receiver with head phones Radio receiver
so many types of receivers are available from a very simple crystal receiver with headphones to radar receiver etc.
Destination:- It is the final stage of any communication system. it would be a loud speaker / a display device/simply a load etc depending up on the requirement of the system.
the main concept of flooding is to sent every incoming packet on a line to every other outgoing line except the line it arrived on.
flooding generates a large no.of duplicate packets, sometimes infinite unless we may take certain measures.
the measures are as follows:-
one measure is use of hop count in the header of each packet and decrement this count at each hop when count reaches to zero discard the packet.
How to take this hop count is another problem. Generally it is set to the length of path from source to destination and in worst cases the full diameter of the subnet.
another way is avoid sending a packet more than once through a router this is possible by using sequence no.
i.e, a source router (which generates packets) can put a sequence no. to each packet and each router will maintain a list of sequence nos. and if sees a packet with same sequence no in the list that packet is discarded (not flooded).
another way of flooding is of use selective flooding.
i.e, with this the router wouldn’t send every incoming packet on every line instead the router will send packets in a particular direction only.
i.e, east bound packets are sent on east side routers and similarly on west side by west side routers.
even flooding is cumbersome, it has some uses
i.e,
used in military applications.
used in distributive data base applications in which to update all data bases concurrently.
used in broadcast Routing.
flooding is used rather than any other algorithm since flooding chooses shorter path between two nodes where other algorithms may not.
The designing of digital communication system requires two important goals to achieve
1. To achieve low probability of error Pe.
2. To utilize Channel Band width efficiently.
QPSK is A Band width conserving modulation scheme, which is an example of Quadrature Carrier Multiplexing.
The modulation schemes such as ASK, PSK & FSK does not meet the Band width requirements of data Communication systems since the Bit rate and Baud rate are same in these schemes. Since the channel band width depends up on the bit rate (or) signalling rate of the modulation scheme. If two (or) more bits are combined into a symbol, then the signalling rate is reduced. Therefore the frequency of the carrier is also reduced, this reduces the transmission channel band width. Thus grouping of bits into symbols reduces Channel Band width.
Meaning of QPSK:-
In Quadri Phase Shift Keying as with Binary PSK information carried by the transmitted signal is contained in the phase of the carrier. The phase of the carrier Φc takes on one of four equally spaced values such as π/4, 3π/4, 5π/4 and 7π/4 that is in QPSK two successive bits are combined into a di-bit or symbol and each possible value of the phase corresponds to a unique di-bit.
for example the foregoing set of phase values are chosen to represent the gray encoded set of di-bits 10, 00, 01 and 11 , where only a single bit is changed from one di-bit to the next.
Generation of QPSK/ QPSK transmitter:-
Consider the generation and detection of QPSK signals. The figure shows a Block diagram of a typical QPSK Transmitter.The incoming binary sequence is first transmitted into polar form by a Non-Return to zero level encoder. Thus symbols 1 and 0 are represented by
√ Es and –√ Es
This binary wave is next divided by means of a de-multiplexer into two separate binary waves. Consisting of the odd and even numbered input bits {be(t)} and {bo(t)} represents those two binary waves.
The two bit streams be(t) and bo(t) are modulated by two ortho-normal basis functions Φ1(t) and Φ2(t).finally, the two binary PSK signals are added to produce the desired QPSK signal.
i.e, SQPSK(t) = Se(t) + So(t).
SoPSK(t)= bo(t)* √(2/Ts)* cos 2πfc t
SePSK(t)= be(t)* √(2/Ts)* sin 2πfc t
SQPSK(t)= bo(t)* √(2/Ts)* cos 2πfc t + be(t)* √(2/Ts)* sin 2πfc t.
QPSK Receiver:-
The QPSK Receiver consists of a pair of correlators called as In-phase channel and Quadrature phase channel with a common input. The input x(t) is supplied with a pair of coherent reference signals Φ1(t) and Φ2(t). The two correlators produces two signals x1(t) and x2(t) in response to the received signal x(t). these signals x1(t) and x2(t) are compared with threshold voltage 0V by the decision devices in the two channels.
If x1 >0, a decision has been made in favor of symbol ‘1’ for the in-phase channel output. but if x1<0 a decision has been made in favor of ‘0’. similarly for the Q-phase channel,
x2>0—-> a symbol ‘1’ is decided.
x2<0—-> a symbol ‘0’ is decided.
finally, these two binary sequences at the I-phase and Q-phase channel outputs are combined in a multiplexer to reproduce the original binary sequence at the Receiver output with the minimum probability of symbol error in the AWGN channel.
Reconstruction filter (Low Pass Filter) Procedure to reconstruct actual signal from sampled signal:-
Low Pass Filter is used to recover original signal from it’s samples. This is also known as interpolation filter.
An LPF is that type of filter which passes only low frequencies up to cut-off frequency and rejects all other frequencies above cut-off frequency.
For an ideal LPF, there is a sharp change in the response at cut-off frequency as shown in the figure.
i.e, Amplitude response becomes suddenly zero at cut-off frequency which is not possible practically that means an ideal LPF is not physically realizable.
i.e, in place of an ideal LPF a practical filter is used.
In case of a practical filter, the amplitude response decreases slowly to zero (this is one of the reason why we choose )
This means that there exists a transition band in case of practical Low Pass Filter in the reconstruction of original signal from its samples.
Signal Reconstruction (Interpolation function):-
The process of reconstructing a Continuous Time signal x(t) from it’s samples is known as interpolation.
Interpolation gives either approximate (or) exact reconstruction (or) recovery of CT signal.
One of the simplest interpolation procedures is known as zero-order hold.
Another procedure is linear interpolation. In linear interpolation the adjacent samples (or) sample points are connected by straight lines.
We may also use higher order interpolation formula for reconstructing the CT signal from its sample values.
If we use the above process (Higher order interpolation) the sample points are connected by higher order polynomials (or) other mathematical functions.
For a Band limited signal, if the sampling instants are sufficiently large then the signal may be reconstructed exactly by using a LPF.
In this case an exact interpolation can be carried out between sample points.
Mathematical analysis:-
A Band limited signal x(t) can be reconstructed completely from its samples, which has higher frequency component fm Hz.
If we pass the sampled signal through a LPF having cut-off frequency of fm Hz.
From sampling theorem
.
.
g(t) has a multiplication factor . To reconstruct x(t) (or) X(f) , the sampled signal must be passed through an ideal LPF of Band Width of Hz and gain .
.
.
.
If sampling is done at Nyquist rate , then Nyquist interval is .
therefore .
h(t) = 0. at all Nyquist instants , when g(t) is applied at the input to this filter the output will be x(t) .
Each sample in g(t) results a sinc pulse having amplitude equal to the strength of sample. If we add all these sinc pulses that gives the original signal x(t) .
.
.
.
.
This is known as interpolation formula
It is assumed that the signal x(t) is strictly band limited but in general an information signal may contain a wide range of frequencies and can not be strictly band limited this means that the maximum frequency in the signal can not be predictable.
then it is not possible to select suitable sampling frequency fs .
