INTRODUCTION

Why Study Communications?

What is communication?
Transportation of information from one point to another

Communication systems are everywhere around you Examples

Mobile phones Broadcast Radio Television World Wide Web Compact or Video Disk or recording and playing systems p g p y g y Satellite Systems

There is no need to motivate about the utility of communication technology

Historical Perspectives
The aim is the transportation of information using electricity or magnetism Humans have needed communications since prehistoric times This field was born in mid-1800s with the Telegraph Invention of telephone in 1870s resulted in more focus on analog communications First World War led to great advances in wireless communication technology Television and radio broadcast soon followed

Historical Perspectives Contd Contd.

A technology boost was given during the WW2 in wireless communications i ti The Cold War led to rapid advances in satellite communications as the race for space gripped the worlds major technology innovation centers The invention of the semiconductor transistor and the impact of Moores law have spurred the march of innovation Moore s since the early 1980s Ever increasing computational power made it possible to has enabled algorithms, that were considered preposterous at algorithms their formulation, to see cost-effective implementation

Phenomenal Growth Rate

Transatlantic transmission of information using undersea cables This system has gone from roughly 10 bits/s in 1866 to roughly 1 Tera (1012) bits/s in the year 2000 The Th world h gone i a very short period of ti ld has in h t i d f time from accepting message delivery delays of weeks down to seconds This Thi period f i d from 1850 2000 was one fill d with 18502000 filled ith remarkable advances in technology There were intellectual property disputes from the telegraph up until modern times l h il d i But the tide of human innovation seems to be ever rising in spite of who gets credit for all the advances

Engineering Perspectives
As technology has advanced, the job of an engineer has become multifaceted and specialized over time time. Two areas of specialization
The devices engineer The systems engineer

The devices engineer is focused on designing technology to complete certain tasks Systems engineers try to put devices together in a way that will work as a system to achieve an overall goal This course is about systems engineering perspective. y g gp p This systems level perspective is very useful for education because technology will change greatly during an engineers career, but the y y theory will be reasonably stable

Showing that with modern integrated circuits the theory is directly reflected in engineering practice. Detailing how engineering t d ff i a D t ili h i i trade-offs in communication system are ever evolving and these trade-offs involve

You will also learn

A historical perspective on the hard work that has led h l d to the current state of the art. h f h A sense of how fundamental engineering tools have real impact on system design A realization that fundamental engineering tools have changed little even as the technology to implement designs has evolved at a withering pace. An understanding that communications engineering is a growing and evolving entity and that continued education will be an important part of a career as a communication engineer. f i i i

Modern Communication System Engineering

Modern communication systems are very complex and one engineer cant be an expert in all of the areas can t The initial communication systems were very simple and engineering expertise were common As t A systems started to get more sophisticated, a t t dt t hi ti t d bifurcation of the needed expertise to address problems became apparent. This l d to th f Thi lead us t the famous Layered Architectures L d A hit t
OSI Model

This concept of a layered architecture has allowed communications to take great advantage of prior f advances and leap-frog technology along at a phenomenal pace

Physical Layer
This text is entirely focused on what is known as physical layer communications. It refers to the direct transfer of physical messages over a communications channel i ti h l Examples of channels include copper wire pairs (telephony), coaxial cables radio (telephony) cables, channels (mobile telephony) or optical fibers What do mean by WiFi ?
It is actually an acronym for WiPhy: Wireless Physical Layer

Physical Layer is Different

The engineering tools, the technology, and design paradigms are significantly different at the physical layer than other layers Consequently, systems engineering expertise C tl t i i ti in practice tends to have the greatest divide at the boundary to the physical layer. To reflect this abstraction we shall focus on p point-to-point communications p You will study other layers in computer networks and switching systems etc

Technologys Impact Technology s

This course will be heavily influenced by relatively recent trends:
Ad Advanced communication theory finding utility i practice d i i h fi di ili in i Processing power increasing at a rate predicted by Moores law

The gap between theory and practice is getting reduced with time Sophisticated communication theory being directly put into practice
Wireless digital communications High-speed cable communications

As engineers we should truly feel lucky to live in a time when theory and p y practice are linked so closely y Because of this reason prominent communication theorists have also been very successful entrepreneurs

Technologys Impact Contd Technology s Contd.

Theory is migrating to practice so quickly because of the th rapid advance of baseband processing power. id d fb b d i A great paradigm shift occurred in the industry when Qualcomm started the design of IS-95 g It was a cellular system that was too complicated for the current technology But they knew that Moore s law would soon enable Moores the design to be implemented in a cost-effective fashion This shift in the design philosophy has opened ways for future engineers to explore ways to better utilize this ever increasingly cost-efficient processing power. gy p gp
