![Page 3: ECIS469: Lecture 2 Fundamentals of Networking. Data Communications exchange of digital information between two devices using an electronic transmission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e125503460f94afe150/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Converting Analog to Digital
• Pulse Code Modulation (PCM)– Like getting a ticker quote every 10 minutes– Approximates the actual signal curve– In PCM
• Measure the signal height every 1/8000th of a second• 8 bits used to report the height at each
measurement• 8*8000=64,000 bits per second to provide
approximation of analog signal• 64Kbps represents a single voice line in digital
telecommunications

Transmission Media
• the physical path along which the data is carried
• Types– twisted pair– coaxial– fiber optics and free space– satellite – terrestrial
![Page 15: ECIS469: Lecture 2 Fundamentals of Networking. Data Communications exchange of digital information between two devices using an electronic transmission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e125503460f94afe150/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Transmission Media
• Twisted Pair– pair of wires twisted along entire length– usually copper with an insulating coat– Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) popular
with LANs• CAT3 (voice) and CAT5 are common• CAT5 used for both voice and data
– 100Mbs transmission speed– Limited segment length – signals needs
regeneration every 100 meters
![Page 16: ECIS469: Lecture 2 Fundamentals of Networking. Data Communications exchange of digital information between two devices using an electronic transmission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e125503460f94afe150/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Transmission Media
• Coaxial cable– thick insulated copper wire– Longer segment lengths– can carry up to 200 Mb/second– less interference due to shielding– Uses FDM to transmit 1000s of voice
channels and 100s of TV channels– Not popular in LANS
• More difficult to work with than UTP
![Page 17: ECIS469: Lecture 2 Fundamentals of Networking. Data Communications exchange of digital information between two devices using an electronic transmission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e125503460f94afe150/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Transmission Media• Fiber Optics cable
– thousands of little fiber optic strands• May be glass or plastic• Thickness of a human hair• Inner core surrounded by glass (cladding) • Can be single mode or multimode• Single mode
– Expensive, bigger capacity, long segment length– 8/125
• Multimode– Cheaper, less capacity– 62.5/125
– Data transmitted as pulses of light– 500 Kb/sec to several GB/sec
![Page 18: ECIS469: Lecture 2 Fundamentals of Networking. Data Communications exchange of digital information between two devices using an electronic transmission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e125503460f94afe150/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A typical optic fiber
- Core made of silica and germania- Optic cladding is pure silica- Mix of different refractive indices allows for total internal reflection
![Page 19: ECIS469: Lecture 2 Fundamentals of Networking. Data Communications exchange of digital information between two devices using an electronic transmission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e125503460f94afe150/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Telecommunications satellites
• Space-based cluster of radio repeaters (called transponders)
• Link – terrestrial radio transmitters to
satellite receiver (uplink)– Satellite transmitters to terrestrial
receivers (downlink)
![Page 25: ECIS469: Lecture 2 Fundamentals of Networking. Data Communications exchange of digital information between two devices using an electronic transmission](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e125503460f94afe150/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Orbits
