Warasinee Apirakdacharchai ID 5080048 DataCom HW5 1. Define analog transmission.

Analog transmission is a method of conveying voice, image or data in using continuous signal which varies in amplitude and phase. 2. Define carrier signal and its role in analog transmission. A continuous signal of a single frequency that has one of its characteristics (amplitude,frequency, or phase) changed to represent the signal and data-carrying. 3. Define digital-to-analog conversion. Digital-to-analog conversion is the process of changing one characteristic of an analog signal based on the information in digital signal(0s and 1s). 4. Which characteristics of an analog signal are changed in the carrier to represent the digital signal in each of the following digital-to-analog conversion. ASK change in amplitude. FSK change in frequency. PSK change in phase. QAM change in amplitude and phase. 5. Which of the four digital-to-analog conversion technique is the most susceptible to noise? Define your answer. ASK because the amplitude is more affected by noise than the phase or frequency 6. Define constellation diagram and its role in analog transmission. Constellation diagram is useful for ASK, PSK and QAM The horizontal axis is related to the in-phase carrier. The vertical axis is related to the quadrature carrier. 7. What are the two components of a signal when a signal represented on constellation diagram? Which component is shown on the horizontal axis? Which component is shown on the vertical

axis? The two components are I and Q. In-phase carrier in X axis. Quadrature carrier in Y axis. 8. Define analog-to-analog conversion. Analog-to-analog conversion is the representation of analog information by an analog signal. 9. Which characteristics of an analog signal are changed to represent low-pass analog signal in each of the following analog-to-analog conversion. AM change in amplitude. FM change in frequency. PM change in phase. 10. Which of the three analog-to-analog conversion technique is the most susceptible to noise? Define your answer. AM because the amplitude is more affected by noise than the phase or frequency.
