3. 3SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Data Communications is any transfer of data within a computer, between a computer
and another device, or between two computers.
Telecommunication is communications over a distance.
Tele- distance
4. 4SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Data and Information travels through a communication system in the form of
eletromagnetic signals. Signals are represented in two ways
• Continuous waveform.
• Three basic components :
- Amplitude (Volt)
- Frequency (Hz)
- Phase (Radian)
• Infinite number of points between minimum and maximum amplitude.
• Use an Amplifier to increase power for transmission over long distances and
reduce noise by Filter.
• Used for Voice Communication.
5. 5SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Data and Information travels through a communication system in the form of
eletromagnetic signals. Signals are represented in two ways
• Discrete waveform.
• Only two different values:
- 1 is high voltage/on electrical pulses.
- 0 is low voltage/off electrical pulses.
• The number of times a signal changes value per second is called “Baud rate”
• Use Repeater to transmission the data over long distances.
• Used for Data Communication.

When two computers are in communication, data can flow in three ways:

Only transmits. Only receives.

Transmits when B receives. Transmits when A receives.

14. 14SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Communication channels are the means by which data are transmitted from one device
in a network to another. A channel can utilize different kinds of communication
transmission media :
- Twisted-Pair Cable
- Coaxial Cable
- Fiber Optics Cable
- Infrared Transmission
- Radio Frequency
- Microwave and Satellite
15. 15SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Twisted-Pair Cable
• Two insulated copper wires that are twisted together.
• The pairs can be shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP).
• The standard connector for unshielded twisted pair cabling is an RJ-45 connector.
16. 16SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Advantages:
• High availability.
• Low installation cost.
Disadvantages:
• Limited data rates.
• Limited range.
• High susceptibility to electromagnetic and
radio frequency interference.
Twisted-Pair Cable Categories:
1 - primarily for voice, less than 9600 bps
2 - T-1 and ISBN line, 4 Mbps
3 - 16 MHz of bandwidth; 10Mbps
4 - 20 MHz of bandwidth; 16Mbps
5/5e - 100 MHz of bandwidth; 100 Mbps (4 pairs/cable)
6 - 400 MHz of bandwidth; 1Gbps (4 pairs/cable)
18. 18SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Coaxial Cable
• A single copper wire, surrounded by an insulator and an outer conductor.
• Two primary types : Thick coaxial (10mm) and Thin coaxial (4mm).
• Speed : 56 kbps to 200 Mbps.
19. 19SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Coaxial Cable
Advantages:
• High capacity (370-1000 times more than twisted pair)
• Low susceptibility to noise and crosstalk (because of shielding)
Disadvantages:
• Requites Amplifier or Repeater every few km.
• High installation cost.
Common Uses:
• Cable TV (Old: RG-59; New: RG-6)
• Ethernet (RG-58:10Base2 ; RG-8:10Base5)
• Amateur radio.
20. 20SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Fiber Optic Cable
A thin glass core surrounded by cladding that reflects light into the core, surrounded
by a protective plastic buffer/jacket.
• Light source is called a photo diode.
• Light travels through the core and bounces off of the cladding to "make turns"
• The signal degrades because of impurities in the glass
cladding

21. 21SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Fiber Optic Cable The two basic types of optical fiber.
Multi-mode optical fiber
Single-mode optical fiber
Step-indexmultimode
Graded-indexmultimode
22. 22SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Advantages:
• High capacity.
• Reduce size and weight cable.
• no crosstalk and lower bit error rates.
• Signal security and difficult to tap.
Disadvantages:
• Can be bent.
• Each fiber is one-way transmission of data.
• High cost of interfaces.
• Lack of standardization.

Infrared Transmission • Using infrared-light waves at a frequency too low.
• Short-range communication (no more than 5 meters)
in IrDA standard.
• Cannot penetrate walls and work only in the direct
"line of sight"
• Speed less than 4 Mbps.
Radio Frequencies
• Distributes radio signals through the air.
• Speed more than 2 Mbps.

• Transmitting a signal from a ground station is called “uplink”,
the reverse is called “downlink”

The global Positioning System (GPS) consists of 24 earth-orbiting satellites
continuously transmitting timed radio signals that can be used to identify earth locations.

31. 31SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Short-range wireless communication
The Bluetooth is a short-range wireless digital standard aimed at linking devices via
a piconet. The piconet typically has a range of about 10 m and a transfer rate between
about 400 and 700 kbps.
32. 32SC161: Principlesof Information Technology
Short-range wireless communication
The WiFi is a short-range wireless digital standard aimed at helping devices to
communicate with hi-speed at distances up to 10 m from access points. It is known
formally as an 802.11 Network.
