Communication System
Main purpose of a communication system is to transfer
information from a source to a recipient via a channel or medium.
Basic block diagram of a communication system:
Source
Transmitter
Channel
Receiver
Recipient
Brief Description
Source: analog or digital
Transmitter: transducer, amplifier, modulator, oscillator, power amp.,
antenna
Channel: e.g. cable, optical fibre, free space
Receiver: antenna, amplifier, demodulator, oscillator, power amplifier,
transducer
Recipient: e.g. person, (loud) speaker, computer
Types of information
Voice, data, video, music, email etc.
Types of communication systems
Public Switched Telephone Network (voice,fax,modem)
Satellite systems
Radio,TV broadcasting
Cellular phones
Computer networks (LANs, WANs, WLANs)
Information Representation
Communication system converts information into electrical
electromagnetic/optical signals appropriate for the transmission medium.
Analog systems convert analog message into signals that can propagate
through the channel.
Digital systems convert bits(digits, symbols) into signals
Objective is to
determine which
waveform from the
finite set was sent.
Why digital?
Why digital?

Disadvantages of Digital
Communication System
Intensive signal processing (compared to analog)
Requires reliable synchronization
Significant resources are allocated to the task of
synchronization at various levels
11
Performance Metrics
Analog Communication Systems
Metric is fidelity: want
m (t ) m(t )
SNR typically used as performance metric
Digital Communication Systems
=
Pb p ( b b)

Important Points
Transmitters modulate analog messages or bits in case of a DCS for
transmission over a channel.
Receiver recreate signals or bits from received signal (mitigate channel
effects)
Performance metric for analog systems is fidelity, for digital it is the bit
rate and error probability.

Description
The source output may be digital or analog. In case of analog
signal source encoder generates an equivalent digital signal using
sampling and quantization and removes any redundancy in the
signal. The output of source encoder is stream of bits. The
channel encoder take k information bits, adds (n - k) noninformation bits in the signal to generate code word of length n.
Additional non-information bits are used to exercise control over
errors. The amount of redundancy introduced is measured by
the ratio n/k. Code rate is defined as reciprocal of the
redundancy i.e. k/n.

Description
The digital modulator takes the binary sequence from channel
encoder and produces a corresponding signal waveform
appropriate for transmission over channel. The channel is the
physical medium between transmitter and the receiver. While
transmitting through channel signal gets affected by different
random phenomena such as noise, fading, attenuation etc. The
receiver antenna collects the signal form the channel and the
receiver reverses all the process performed at the transmitter
end to get output signal.

Character
Member of an alphanumeric/symbol (A to Z, 0 to 9)
Characters can be mapped into a sequence of binary digits using one of the
standardized codes such as
ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Interchange
EBCDIC: Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code

Classification Of Signals
Signals can be classified in various ways.
1. Deterministic and Random Signals
2. Periodic and Non-Periodic Signals
3. Continuous Time and Discrete Time Signals
4. Analog and Digital Signals
5. Real and Complex Signals
6. Energy and Power Signals
7. Even and Odd Signals
