11DATACOMMUNICATIONS
The term telecommunication means communication at a
distance. The word data refers to information presented
in whatever form is agreed upon by the parties creating
and using the data. Data communications are the
exchange of data between two devices via some form of
transmission medium such as a wire cable.

Note
To be transmitted, data must be
transformed to electromagnetic signals.

31ANALOGANDDIGITAL
Data can be analog or digital. The term analog data
refers to information that is continuous; digital data
refers to information that has discrete states.
Analog data take on continuous values. Digital data
take on discrete values.
Note
Data can be analog or digital.
Analog data are continuous and take
continuous values.
Digital data have discrete states and
take discrete values.
3.11
Note
Signals can be analog or digital.
Analog signals can have an infinite
number of values in a range; digital
signals can have only a limited
number of values.
3.12
3.13
Note
In data communications, we commonly
use periodic analog signals and
nonperiodic digital signals.
3.14
32PERIODICANALOGSIGNALS
Periodic analog signals can be classified as
simple or composite. A simple periodic analog
signal, a sine wave, cannot be decomposed into
simpler signals. A composite periodic analog
signal is composed of multiple sine waves.
Topics discussed in this section:
Sine Wave
Wavelength
Time and Frequency Domain
Composite Signals
Bandwidth
3.15
3.16
Note
We discuss a mathematical approach to
sine waves in Appendix C.
3.17
Example 3.1
The power in your house can be represented by a sine
wave with a peak amplitude of 155 to 170 V. However, it is
common knowledge that the voltage of the power in U.S.
homes is 110 to 120 V. This discrepancy is due to the fact
that these are root mean square (rms) values. The signal
is squared and then the average amplitude is calculated.
The peak value is equal to 2 rms value.
3.18
Figure 3.3 Two signals with the same phase and frequency,
but different amplitudes
3.19
Example 3.2
The voltage of a battery is a constant; this
constant value can be considered a sine wave,
as we will see later. For example, the peak value
of
an
AA
battery
is
normally
1.5 V.
3.20
Note
Frequency and period are the inverse of
each other.
3.21
Figure 3.4 Two signals with the same amplitude and phase,
but different frequencies
3.22
3.23
Example 3.3
The power we use at home has a frequency of 60
Hz. The period of this sine wave can be
determined as follows:
3.24
Example 3.4
Express a period of 100 ms in microseconds.
Solution
From Table 3.1 we find the equivalents of 1 ms (1
ms is 103 s) and 1 s (1 s is 106 s). We make the
following substitutions:.
3.25
Example 3.5
The period of a signal is 100 ms. What is
its frequency in kilohertz?
Solution
First we change 100 ms to seconds, and
then we calculate the frequency from the
period (1 Hz = 103 kHz).
3.26
Note
Frequency is the rate of change with respect
to time.
Change in a short span of time
means high frequency.
Change over a long span of
time means low frequency.
3.27
Note
If a signal does not change at all, its
frequency is zero.
If a signal changes instantaneously, its
frequency is infinite.
3.28
Note
Phase describes the position of the
waveform relative to time 0.
3.29
Figure 3.5 Three sine waves with the same amplitude and frequency,
but different phases
3.30
Example 3.6
A sine wave is offset 1/6 cycle with respect
to time 0. What is its phase in degrees and
radians?
Solution
We know that 1 complete cycle is 360.
Therefore, 1/6 cycle is
3.31
3.32
Figure 3.7
3.33
Note
A complete sine wave in the time
domain can be represented by one
single spike in the frequency domain.
3.34
Example 3.7
The frequency domain is more compact
and useful when we are dealing with more
than one sine wave. For example, Figure
3.8 shows three sine waves, each with
different amplitude and frequency. All can
be represented by three spikes in the
frequency domain.
3.35
Figure 3.8 The time domain and frequency domain of three sine waves
3.36
Note
A single-frequency sine wave is not
useful in data communications;
we need to send a composite signal, a
signal made of many simple sine waves.
3.37
Note
According to Fourier analysis, any
composite signal is a combination of
simple sine waves with different
frequencies, amplitudes, and phases.
Fourier analysis is discussed in
Appendix C.
3.38
Note
If the composite signal is periodic, the
decomposition gives a series of signals
with discrete frequencies;
if the composite signal is nonperiodic,
the decomposition gives a combination
of sine waves with continuous
frequencies.
3.39
Example 3.8
Figure 3.9 shows a periodic composite
signal with frequency f. This type of signal
is not typical of those found in data
communications. We can consider it to be
three alarm systems, each with a different
frequency. The analysis of this signal can
give us a good understanding of how to
decompose signals.
3.40
3.41
Figure 3.10
3.42
Example 3.9
Figure
3.11
shows
a
nonperiodic
composite signal. It can be the signal
created by a microphone or a telephone
set when a word or two is pronounced. In
this case, the composite signal cannot be
periodic, because that implies that we are
repeating the same word or words with
exactly the same tone.
3.43
3.44
Note
The bandwidth of a composite signal is
the difference between the
highest and the lowest frequencies
contained in that signal.
3.45
3.46
Example 3.10
If a periodic signal is decomposed into five sine waves
with frequencies of 100, 300, 500, 700, and 900 Hz, what
is its bandwidth? Draw the spectrum, assuming all
components have a maximum amplitude of 10 V.
Solution
Let fh be the highest frequency, fl the lowest frequency,
and B the bandwidth. Then
The spectrum has only five spikes, at 100, 300, 500, 700,
and 900 Hz (see Figure 3.13).
3.47
3.48
Example 3.11
A periodic signal has a bandwidth of 20 Hz. The
highest frequency is 60 Hz. What is the lowest
frequency? Draw the spectrum if the signal
contains all frequencies of the same amplitude.
Solution
Let fh be the highest frequency, fl the lowest
frequency, and B the bandwidth. Then
3.49
3.50
Example 3.12
A nonperiodic composite signal has a bandwidth
of 200 kHz, with a middle frequency of 140 kHz
and peak amplitude of 20 V. The two extreme
frequencies have an amplitude of 0. Draw the
frequency domain of the signal.
Solution
The lowest frequency must be at 40 kHz and the
highest at 240 kHz. Figure 3.15 shows the
frequency domain and the bandwidth.
3.51
3.52
Example 3.13
An example of a nonperiodic composite signal is
the signal propagated by an AM radio station. In
the United States, each AM radio station is
assigned a 10-kHz bandwidth. The total
bandwidth dedicated to AM radio ranges from
530 to 1700 kHz. We will show the rationale
behind this 10-kHz bandwidth in Chapter 5.
3.53
Example 3.14
Another example of a nonperiodic composite
signal is the signal propagated by an FM radio
station. In the United States, each FM radio
station is assigned a 200-kHz bandwidth. The
total bandwidth dedicated to FM radio ranges
from 88 to 108 MHz. We will show the rationale
behind this 200-kHz bandwidth in Chapter 5.
3.54
Example 3.15
Another example of a nonperiodic composite
signal is the signal received by an old-fashioned
analog black-and-white TV. A TV screen is made
up of pixels. If we assume a resolution of 525
700, we have 367,500 pixels per screen. If we
scan the screen 30 times per second, this is
367,500 30 = 11,025,000 pixels per second. The
worst-case scenario is alternating black and
white pixels. We can send 2 pixels per cycle.
Therefore, we need 11,025,000 / 2 = 5,512,500
cycles per second, or Hz. The bandwidth needed
is 5.5125 MHz.

36PERFORMANCE
One important issue in networking is the
performance of the networkhow good is it? We
discuss
quality
of
service,
an
overall
measurement of network performance, in greater
detail in Chapter 24. In this section, we introduce
terms that we need for future chapters.
Topics discussed in this section:
Bandwidth
Throughput
Latency (Delay)
Bandwidth-Delay Product
3.58
Note
Example 3.42
The bandwidth of a subscriber line is 4 kHz for
voice or data. The bandwidth of this line for data
transmission
can be up to 56,000 bps using a sophisticated
modem to change the digital signal to analog.
3.60
Example 3.43
If the telephone company improves the quality of
the line and increases the bandwidth to 8 kHz,
we can send 112,000 bps by using the same
technology as mentioned in Example 3.42.
3.61
Example 3.44
A network with bandwidth of 10 Mbps can pass
only an average of 12,000 frames per minute with
each frame carrying an average of 10,000 bits.
What is the throughput of this network?
Solution
We can calculate the throughput as
Example 3.45
What is the propagation time if the distance between the
two points is 12,000 km? Assume the propagation speed
to be 2.4 108 m/s in cable.
Solution
We can calculate the propagation time as
Example 3.46
What are the propagation time and the transmission time
for a 2.5-kbyte message (an e-mail) if the bandwidth of
the network is 1 Gbps? Assume that the distance
between the sender and the receiver is 12,000 km and
that light travels at 2.4 108 m/s.
Solution
We can calculate the propagation and transmission time
as shown on the next slide:
3.64
3.65
Example 3.47
What are the propagation time and the transmission time
for a 5-Mbyte message (an image) if the bandwidth of the
network is 1 Mbps? Assume that the distance between
the sender and the receiver is 12,000 km and that light
travels at 2.4 108 m/s.
Solution
We can calculate the propagation and transmission times
as shown on the next slide.
3.66
3.67
3.68
Example 3.48
We can think about the link between two points as a pipe.
The cross section of the pipe represents the bandwidth,
and the length of the pipe represents the delay. We can
say the volume of the pipe defines the bandwidth-delay
product, as shown in Figure 3.33.
3.69
3.70
Note
The bandwidth-delay product defines
the number of bits that can fill the link.
