Communication
Electronic Communications
is the transmission, reception, and processing
of information with the use of electronic
circuits
Digital Modulation
is the transmittal of digitally modulated
analog signals (carriers) between two or more
points in a communications system
sometimes called digital radio because
digitally modulated signals can be propagated
through Earths atmosphere and used in
wireless communications systems
Digital communications
Is the transmission of digital pulses between two or
more points in a communication system.
include systems where relatively high-frequency
analog carriers are modulated by relatively low
frequency digital information signals (digital radio)
and systems involving the transmission of digital
pulses (digital transmission)
was originally limited to the transmission of data
between computers
Basic elements of a digital communication system
Advantages Disadvantages
5. Rate of Information
Example
A telephone touch-tone keypad has the digits
0 to 9, plus the * and # keys. Assume the
probability of sending * and # is 0.005 and the
probability of sending 0 to 9 is 0.099. If each
keys are pressed at a rate of 2 keys/s,
compute the entropy and data rate for this
source.
Example
From the given table
Where: I = information
capacity (bps)
B = bandwidth (Hz)
S/N = signal-to-noise
power ratio (unitless)
M-ary Encoding
M-ary ----- is a term derived from the word
binary
M - simply represents a digit that corresponds
to the number of conditions, levels, or
combinations possible for a given number of
binary variables.
