Asynchronous Transmission

This is called asynchronous because at the byte level sender and receiver dont
have to be synchronized. When the receiver detects a start bit it sets a timer and
begins counting bits as they comes in. After n bits, the receiver looks for a stop
bit. As soon as it detects the stop bit, it ignores any received pulses until it
detects a next start bit.
Advantage is its cheap and effective to use. Disadvantages is slow and low
speed communication

Synchronous Transmission

In this the bit stream is combined into longer Frames. Each byte is
introduced onto transmission link without a gap between it and the next one.
We send bits one after another without start/ stop bits or gaps. It is the
responsibility of the receiver to group the bits.

Advantages is its speed, it is useful for high data transmission as we are

having fewer bits with no extra start and stop bits to transmit.

DTEs and DCEs

DTE (Data Terminal equipment) is a source/ destination for

binary digital data.
DCE (Data Circuit Terminating Equipment) receives data
from a DTE and changes it into a form appropriate for
network transmission.

A Modulator converts a
digital signal into analog
signal using ASK, FSK,
PSK or QAM to be carried
on by public access
phoneline.
Modem A Demodulator converts a
analog signal into a digital
signal. It takes the ASK,
FSK, PSK, or QAM signal
and decodes it into
whatever format its
computer can accept.

1. Baud Rate for Half-Duplex ASK

(Amplitude shift Keying)

Bandwidth = Max Baud Rate = Max Bit Rate

2. Baud Rate for Half-Duplex FSK

(Frequency Shift Keying)
Bandwidth = Max Baud Rate + Frequency Shift

3. Baud Rate for Half-Duplex PSK/ QAM

(Phase Shift Keying/ Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation)
Bandwidth is same as ASK but the bit rate can be greater
depending on the number of bits that can be represented by
each signal unit.
