DIGITAL SIGNALS
In addition to being represented by an analog signal, information can also be represented by a digital signal. For example, a 1 can be encoded as a positive voltage and a 0 as zero voltage. A digital signal can have more than two levels. In this case, we can send more than 1 bit for each level.

3.4
A digital signal has eight levels. How many bits are needed per level? We calculate the number of bits from the formula
Example
Each signal level is represented by 3 bits.

3.5
A digital signal has nine levels. How many bits are needed per level? We calculate the number of bits by using the formula. Each signal level is represented by 3.17 bits. However, this answer is not realistic. The number of bits sent per level needs to be an integer as well as a power of 2. For this example, 4 bits can represent one level.

A digitized voice channel, as we will see in Chapter 4, is made by digitizing a 4-kHz bandwidth analog voice signal. We need to sample the signal at twice the highest frequency (two samples per hertz). We assume that each sample requires 8 bits. What is the required bit rate?
SolutionThe bit rate can be calculated as
Example
![Page 9: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is the bit rate for high-definition TV (HDTV)?
Solution
HDTV uses digital signals to broadcast high quality video signals. The HDTV screen is normally a ratio of 16 : 9. There are 1920 by 1080 pixels per screen, and the screen is renewed 30 times per second. Twenty-four bits represents one color pixel.
Example
The TV stations reduce this rate to 20 to 40 Mbps through compression.

Figure : Baseband transmission using a dedicated medium
![Page 15: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Baseband transmission of a digital signal that preserves the shape of the digital
signal is possible only if we have a low-pass channel with an infinite or very wide
bandwidth.
Note
![Page 16: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
An example of a dedicated channel where the entire bandwidth of the medium is used as one single channel is a LAN. Almost every wired LAN today uses a dedicated channel for two stations communicating with each other. In a bus topology LAN with multipoint connections, only two stations can communicate with each other at each moment in time (timesharing); the other stations need to refrain from sending data. In a star topology LAN, the entire channel between each station and the hub is used for communication between these two entities.

Note
In baseband transmission, the required bandwidth is proportional to the bit rate;if we need to send bits faster, we need
more bandwidth.
![Page 20: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

What is the required bandwidth of a low-pass channel if we need to send 1 Mbps by using baseband transmission?
SolutionThe answer depends on the accuracy desired.a. The minimum bandwidth, is B = bit rate /2, or 500 kHz. b. A better solution is to use the first and the third harmonics with B = 3 × 500 kHz = 1.5 MHz.
c. Still a better solution is to use the first, third, and fifth
harmonics with B = 5 × 500 kHz = 2.5 MHz.
Example
![Page 22: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
We have a low-pass channel with bandwidth 100 kHz. What is the maximum bit rate of this channel?
SolutionThe maximum bit rate can be achieved if we use the first harmonic. The bit rate is 2 times the available bandwidth, or 200 kbps.
Example
![Page 23: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

If the available channel is a bandpass channel, we cannot send the digital signal
directly to the channel; we need to convert the digital signal to an
analog signal before transmission.
Note
![Page 25: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Figure Modulation of a digital signal for transmission on a bandpass channel
![Page 26: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
An example of broadband transmission using modulation is the sending of computer data through a telephone subscriber line, the line connecting a resident to the central telephone office. These lines are designed to carry voice with a limited bandwidth. The channel is considered a band pass channel. We convert the digital signal from the computer to an analog signal, and send the analog signal. We can install two converters to change the digital signal to analog and vice versa at the receiving end. The converter, in this case, is called a modem.
Example
![Page 27: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
3.27
A second example is the digital cellular telephone. For better reception, digital cellular phones convert the analog voice signal to a digital signal (see Chapter 16). Although the bandwidth allocated to a company providing digital cellular phone service is very wide, we still cannot send the digital signal without conversion. The reason is that we only have a bandpass channel available between caller and callee. We need to convert the digitized voice to a composite analog signal before sending.

GUIDED MEDIA• Wired • Waves are guided along solid medium• Data signals are guided along the path like cabling system. There is
no other way to go• Types : -
Twisted pair cable. Coaxial cable. Fiber optic cable.
• Twisted pair and coaxial cable use metallic (copper) conductors that accept and transport signals in the form of electric current.
• Optical fiber is the cable that accepts and transports signal in the form of Light

Twisted-Pair Cable
• A twisted pair consists of two conductors (copper), Each with own plastic insulation, twisted together.
• Twisted pair cable may be used to transmit Both Digital and Analog transmission
![Page 35: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• One will used to carry signal to the receiver and the other used as a ground reference. Receiver uses the difference between the two.
• Twisted pair cable is good for transferring balanced differential signals.
• If the two wires are parallel, The effect of these unwanted signals is not same in both wires because location is different relative to noise and cross talk.
• Result in a difference at receiver . So by twisting the pair ,A balance is maintained. And receiver will not receive unwanted signals.
• The twisting of the pairs of copper cable is one method used to protect the cable's signals from interference and crosstalk. This type of protection is known as cancellation.

• A GLASS OR PLASTIC CORE IS SURROUNDED BY CLADDING OF LESS DENCE GLASS OR PLASTIC.
• Difference in density of the 2 materials must be such that a beam of light
moving through the core is reflected off the cladding instead of being refracted into it.
![Page 57: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Propagation Modes
• Multi mode : Multiple beams from a light source move through the core in different path. • Move of beams depends on the structure of core.
![Page 58: Unit 2 physical layer](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54c5a63e4a7959773c8b45c7/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
• Step Index means : Suddenness change of beam leads to distortion of signal at passes through fiber.
• Multimode step index fiber : Density of the core remains constant from center to the edges.
• At the interface , there is an abrupt change due to lower density, This alters the angles of the beam’s motion.

Multimode graded-index fiber
• Decrease the distortion of the signal through the cable.
• Index of refraction is related with density. Density is highest at the center of the core and decrease to its lowest at the edge.

Single Mode
• Single mode uses step-index fiber and a highly focused source of light that limits beams to a small range of angles , all close to horizontal.
• Single mode fiber is manufactured with a much smaller diameter than that of multimode fiber with substantially lower density.
• Critical angle = 90 degree so propagation of beam almost horizontal.

Fiber Size• Size of optical fiber = ratio between diameter of
core and diameter of cladding
Type Core Cladding Mode
