4. Telecommunication system
INTRODUCTION of telecommunication system
Telecommunication, is the exchange of information over
significant distances by electronic means.
Transceiver:
Combination of transmitter and a receiver in a single device
Wire less
The free-space transmission and reception of data by means of
electromagnetic fields
5. The simplest form of telecommunications takes place between
two stations. However, it is common for multiple transmitting
and receiving stations to exchange data among themselves. Such
an arrangement is called a telecommunications network.
The Internet is the largest example. On a smaller scale, examples
include:
Corporate and academic wide-area networks (WANs)
Telephone networks
Police and fire communications systems
Taxicab dispatch networks
Groups of amateur radio operators
6. Basic elements
A basic telecommunication system consists of three primary
units that are always present in some form:
1) A transmitter that takes information and converts it to
a signal.
2) A transmission medium, also called the "physical
channel" that carries the signal. An example of this is
the "free space channel".
3) A receiver that takes the signal from the channel and
converts it back into usable information.
7. Analog versus digital
communications
Communications signals can be either by analog
signals or digital signals. For an analog signal, the signal is
varied continuously with respect to the information. In a
digital signal, the information is encoded as a set of discrete
values (for example, a set of ones and zeros).
8. Communication channels
The term "channel" has two different meanings. In one
meaning, a channel is the physical medium that carries a
signal between the transmitter and the receiver. The other
meaning of the term "channel" in telecommunications is seen
in the phrase communications channel, which is a subdivision
of a transmission medium so that it can be used to send
multiple streams of information simultaneously.
9. Modulation
The shaping of a signal to convey information is known
as modulation. Modulation can be used to represent a digital
message as an analog waveform. This is commonly called―
keying" – a term derived from the older use of Morse Code in
telecommunications – and several keying techniques exist
(these include phase-shift keying, frequency-shift keying,
and amplitude-shift keying).
10. Economic impact
Microeconomics
On the microeconomic scale, companies have used
telecommunications to help build global business empires.
This is self-evident in the case of online
retailer Amazon.com but, according to academic Edward
Lenert, even the conventional retailer Wal-Mart has
benefited from better telecommunication infrastructure
compared to its competitors. In cities throughout the
world, home owners use their telephones to order and
arrange a variety of home services ranging from pizza
deliveries to electricians.

12. Macroeconomics
On the macroeconomic scale, Lars-Hendrik Röller
and Leonard Waverman suggested a causal link between good
telecommunication infrastructure and economic growth. Few
dispute the existence of a correlation although some argue it
is wrong to view the relationship as causal.
Because of the economic benefits of good telecommunication
infrastructure, there is increasing worry about the inequitable
access to telecommunication services amongst various
countries of the world—this is known as the digital divide.

14. Social impact
Telecommunication has played a significant role in social
relationships. Nevertheless devices like the telephone system
were originally advertised with an emphasis on the practical
dimensions of the device (such as the ability to conduct
business or order home services) as opposed to the social
dimensions. It was not until the late 1920s and 1930s that the
social dimensions of the device became a prominent theme in
telephone advertisements. New promotions started appealing
to consumers' emotions, stressing the importance of social
conversations and staying connected to family and friends.
