energy
Decode energy at destination back into
data
Energy can be electrical, light, radio,
sound, ...
Each form of energy has different
properties and requirements for
transmission
Data Transmission
Simplex transmission
Refers to one way transmission where
one party is the transmitter and the
other is the receiver
Example: simple radio
Data Transmission
Data Transmission
Transmission Methods
serial transmission,
bits are sent
sequentially on the
same channel (wire)
which reduces costs
for wire but also slows the speed of transmission.
Examples of serial mode transmission include
connections between a computer and a modem
using the RS-232 protocol.

Transmission Media
Copper Wires
Preferred due to
its low resistance
to electric current,
which enables
signals to travel
faster
Transmission Media
To minimize interference, networks
use one of two basic wiring types:
Twisted pair
Coaxial cable
Transmission Media
Twisted pair wire
The most common
form of cable today
Used to connect
telephone subscribers
to exchanges
(switching enters) and
wire building)
Used to interconnect
PCs on a Local Area
Network (LAN)
Transmission Media
Twisted pair wire
Each twisted pair wire is actually two
insulated copper wires twisted around
each other.
They are twisted together for the
purposes of canceling out electromagnetic
interference (EMI) from external sources;
for instance, electromagnetic radiation
from unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables,
and crosstalk between neighboring pairs.
Transmission Media
Twisted pair wire
Other services which makes use of twisted pair wires:
POTS
Public
ISDN
Integrated
ADSL
Asymmetric
Transmission Media
Twisted pair wire
Two forms of twisted pair: Unshielded
and Shielded Twisted Pair
UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
Cable which has no ground shield
Two conductors are coated with a plastic
sheath then twisted around each other
Transmission Media
UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Very noisy
Limited in distance 100m
Suffer from interference
Transmission Media
STP (Shielded twisted
pair)
Transmission Media
Coaxial Cable
More commonly known as the wiring used for cable TV
Permits high speed data transmission with a minimum
of signal distortion because it provides greater
protection from interference than twisted pair
Consists of a single wire surrounded by heavier metal
shield which surrounds the center wire uniformly on all
sides, making it a more effective barrier to
electromagnetic radiation
Maximum length:
200 meters thin
500 meters - thick
Transmission Media
Coaxial Cable
Advantages:
Inexpensive to
install
Conforms to
standards
Widely used
Greater capacity
than UTP
Disadvantages:
Limited in distance
Limited in number of
connections
Costly compared to twisted
pair wires and copper wires
Terminations and
connections must be done
properly
Utilizes air as channel for
carrying the signals in
waveform
Utilizes signal generation
devices from source and
destination endpoints

WIRELESS TRANSMISSION
MEDIA
Utilizes air as its channel for carrying
the signals in waveform
Utilizes signal generation devices from
the source and destination endpoints
Transmission Media
Microwave
System
The transmission
of these signals is
line of sight,
meaning there
should be no
physical obstacles
between the
sending and
receiving devices
Transmission Media
Microwave System
Advantages:
Medium capacity
Medium cost
Can go long distances
Disadvantages:
Noise interference
Geographical problems due to line of
sight requirements
Transmission Media
Orbital satellite
transmission
Transmission Media
Orbital satellite transmission
Advantages:
Low cost per user (for PAY TV)
High capacity
Very large coverage
Disadvantages:
High install cost in launching a satellite
Receive dishes and decoders required
Delays involved in the reception of the signal
Transmission Media
Very Small Aperture
Terminal (VSAT)
An earthbound
station used in
satellite
communications of
data, voice and video
signals, excluding
broadcast television
Can handle up to
56Kbps
Transmission Media
Very Small
Aperture
Terminal (VSAT)
Transceiver: placed
outdoors in direct line of
sight to the satellite
Device: placed indoors
to interface the
transceiver with the end
users communications
device, such as PC
Transmission Media
HIGH SPEED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
T-carrier system
Introduced by the Bell System in the U.S. in the
1960s
First successful system that supported digitized
voice transmission
Entirely digital, using pulse code modulation
and time division multiplexing
Uses four wires and provides duplex capability
(two wires for receiving and two for sending at
the same time)
Transmission Media
T1-carrier system
Dedicated phone connection support data
rates of 1.544Mbits per second
Consists of 24 individual channels, each of
which supports 64Kbits per second
Popular leased line option for business
connecting to the internet and for internet
service providers (ISPs) connecting to the
internet backbone
Sometimes referred to as DS1 lines
Transmission Media
E1
The European format for digital
transmission
Carries signals at 2Mbps (32
channels at 64Kbps)
Transmission Media
Digital signal X
Term for the series of standard
digital transmission rates or levels
based on DS0, a transmission rate
of 64 Kbps, the bandwidth normally
used for one telephone voice
channel
Transmission Media
Wireless connections

alternative to running a permanent
physical line
Used to link these devices:
Desktop
PC and laptop PC
PC and local area network (LAN)
PC and mainframe computer
Terminal and multiplexer
