TELEPHONY
TELEPHONY Lesson 1 Telephony is the art of projecting a sound wave into a given apparatus, transforming the sound wave into an electrical wave, passing the electrical wave over a wire or channel and then transforming the electrical wave back into sound wave. Three Functional Parts: 1. Subscriber 2. Exchange 3. Interexchange Telephone Set is an instrument used to transmit and receive information or calls sequentially or simultaneously, thus permitting one party to communicate with another. Main Functions of a Telephone Set: 1. to call the local exchange 2. to transmit the desired subscriber's number 3. to receive different tone signals 4. to transmit and receive speech 5. to order the clearing of the connection Telephone Set Wires 1. Tip: green used to transmit the signal 2. Ring: Red used to receive the signals from the far end 3. Slave: yellow used as a spare or for special purpose applications 4. Ground: Black or White Parts of a Telephone Set 1. Transmitter (mouthpiece) used to converts sound wave to electrical wave 2. Receiver (earpiece) used to converts the varying electric current that represents the transmitted speech signal into an audible sound that will recreate the voice. 3. Ringer (bell) a signaling system from the telephone exchange to a called phone to impart that a call should be answered. 4. Switch-hook (plunger) a part of telephone where the handset is place when not in used and lifted up the phone when making a call. Two switch hook conditions of a Telephone 1. On-hook when the telephone is idle, the switch is open and no dc current flowing through the line. 2. Off-hook condition when the telephone handset is lifted up from the cradle, the current is flowing through the line, the telephone resistance appears between the tip and the ring causes the loop to close and alerts the central office to supply current and the dial tone.
TELEPHONY
5. Dialpad (keypad) a part of telephone where a desire subscribers number can be dialed. Dialing referred to as addressing a telephone system. Two Type of Dialing 1. Pulse Dialing is defined as a momentary on-hook condition that causes loop making and breaking from the telephone set dialer toward the central office. Rotary dialpad is marked from 0 to 9 with each number representing a corresponding number of pulses that would be generated once the dial number is rotated from a starting position towards the fixed point. State of Pulses: 1. Make circuit closed/off hook, 4o % 2. Break circuit opened/on-hook condition, 60 % (make and break time =0.1 sec) 3. Interdigit delay continuous make of 500 ms 2. Tone Dialing is a type of dialing employing two tones or two frequencies to represent a single digit. Also known as Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) dialing or touch tone dialing. 1209 Hz 1336 Hz 1477 Hz 1633 Hz 697 Hz 1 2 3 A 770 Hz 852 Hz 941 Hz 4 7 * 5 8 0 6 9 # B C D
6. Protection Circuits 1. Over-voltage Protection - it protects the circuit for over voltage supply coming from the central office. 2. Polarity Reversal it protects the circuit from any reversed voltage polarity. Problem Solving: 1. How long does it take to dial 765-8340 in second using pulse dialing? 2. How about if using a touch-tone dialing? How long does it take to dial the same number in 1?
TELEPHONY
SWITCHING Lesson 2 Switching a method of connecting the calling party to the called party. Types of Switching: 1. Manual Control System a call is being carried out by an operator using switchboards and wires with jack. 2. Progressive Control or Step by Step Switching also known as Strowger Switchig System, named after the inventor Almon B. Strowger, 1889. It is the oldest automatic switching system, electromechanical in nature, in which intelligence is located in relays mounted on each switch. It also known as direct control switch with three stages: 1. Line Equipment- includes the line finder 2. Switch Train consists of selectors arranged to operate in a sequence connecting the calling line to the connector group of the called line. 3. Connectors are switches that complete the connection to the called party. 3. Common Control Switching Also known as Crossbar Switching System. It is a switching system, still mechanical in nature but the intelligence of the system is separated from the actual switch. It utilizes a switching matrix, which externally managed by common control, to route telephone calls. 4. Stored Program Control (SPC) or Electronic Switching System (ESS) Is the first generation ESS was employed in the year 1960. It is a switching system control is in electronic circuit instead of mechanical devices, and the network or matrix is replaced with tiny glasss-encapsulated reed switches. The final generation is known as digital switch. Features of digital switches: 1. Call waiting 2. Caller ID 3. Call forwarding 4. Teleconferencing 5. Abbreviated Dialing 6. Malicious Call Trace 7. Video conferencing 8. Automatic Call back 9. Call hold

TELEPHONY
Three Types of Design 1. Normal Loop a simple design because there is no need to add any devices to amplify or attenuate the transmitted signal or to boost up the current to meet the design requirements. Limitations: R switch is 1300 ohms; R L 1300 2. Long loop design a device has to be added to increase the amount of current in the loop. Limitations: R L 1300 , the current in the loop reduced to less than 24 mA. Devices: Dial long lines, loop range extender and voice repeater 3. Special Services Design when R L exceeds the 2800 ohms limit, special equipment to permit proper voice transmission and proper performance of the circuit used. Devices: foreign exchange, off-premises extensions, private line circuits and wide area telephone service Common Methods to attain longer loops without exceeding loss limits: 1. by increasing conductor diameter 2. by using special devices 3. use inductive loading Loaded Cable vs. Non loaded Cable Loading is a scheme to improve transmission of cable pairs by the addition of inductive devices in series with the cable pair. Loading Coil coil of wire around a magnetically permeable core constituting inductances which can be inserted in a circuit at regular intervals to improve transmission. Loaded Cable a loop with loading coil to extend the cable length Non-loaded Cable a loop or cable pair without loading coil Subscriber loop length limits: 1. Attenuation limit (transmission design) Attenuation refers to loop AC loss at reference frequency measured in decibels. It is a function of the diameter and length of the wire pair. Reference: 1000 Hz- North America 800 Hz- Europe = 8 dB =7 dB
2. Signaling limit (resistance design) It is based on dc resistance. The function of IR drop and conductivity of the loop conductor diameter and gauge. Reference: Imin= 20 mA North America Engr. Marlyn Quiambao-Camingal ECE

NUMBERING CONCEPT Lesson 6 Definition Terms: Subscriber Number number to be dialed or called to reach a subscriber in the same local network or numbering area. Numbering Area area which any two subscribers use the same dialing procedure to reach another subscriber in the telephone network. Trunk Prefix or Toll access Code digit or combination of digits to be dialed by a calling subscriber in his own country but outside his own numbering area. Trunk Code or Area Code digit or combination of digits (not including the trunk prefix) characterizing the called numbering area with a country. Country Code combination of one to three digits characterizing the called country. Numbering Functions: 1. Call routing 2. Addressing of called and calling party 3. activates necessary apparatus for charging If the numbering is 6 digits, it would start from 000000 to 999999. If the numbering is 7 digits, it would start from 0000000 to 9999999. Numbering Concepts: 1. Uniform Numbering a scheme in which the length of the subscriber numbers are uniform inside a given numbering area. 2. Non-uniform Numbering a scheme in which the subscriber numbers vary within a given numbering area. International Telephone Number CCITT Recommendation E161 recommends that not more than 12 digits make up an international number. This excludes the international prefix that switches the call to the transmit exchange for international calls. 5 Elements: 1. International access code 2. Country Code 3. Area Code 4.

SIGNALING Lesson 7 Signaling *Refers to specific signals on the transmission line that are used for controlling the connection from the calling telephone to the called telephone and signals that are used to indicate the status of a call as it is being interconnected *provides a means for operating and supervising a telephone communication system *established connections, announces incoming calls and reports the fact that a line is busy Signaling Functions 1. Ringing Signals *used to operate a visible or audible alarm to alert someone of an incoming call 2. Supervisory Signals *used to convey information regarding switchboards conditions 3. Address Signals *used dialing or digital information which is necessary to establish the desire connections Subscriber Loop Signaling- 3 Methods 1. Wet-Dry *signaling information is indicated by the presence (wet) and the absence (dry) of a battery and ground condition on the line at the called end of the trunk. 2. Reverse Battery *loop signaling is accomplished by reversing the polarity of the battery on the line to indicate supervisory conditions 3. High-Low Method *by representing the on-hook and off-hook condition in terms of resistance values Other Signaling Method 1. E & M Signaling *employs 2 leads to connect the signaling equipment to trunk circuit, M lead transmit battery or ground to the distant end of the circuits and while incoming signals are received on the E lead as either a ground or open condition 2. Out Band Signaling *make use of one or more AC tones which lie within the passband of the transmission facility but just outside the voice band Engr. Marlyn Quiambao-Camingal ECE
TELEPHONY
3. In-band Signaling *Signaling tones are transmitted within the speech band, usually 1600, 2400 or 2600 Hz 4. Common Channel Signaling (CCS) *All signaling for a number of voice path is carried over one channel, instead of within each individual channel 5. Alternate Channel Signaling *2 channels are used, one carries the signaling signal while other carriers the voice signal. An error detector monitors error rate in the signaling channel. If error is tolerable, the system is normal; if more than 3 errors occur for a period of 10 second, a line switch unit automatically switches the signaling channel information to the alternate voice channel switches, the signaling and the alternate-channel information to the signal element.

TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING Lesson 9 Time Division Multiplexing A type of multiplexing wherein each signal can occupy the entire bandwidth of the channel but transmitted for only a brief period of time. It is used for both digital and analog signal inputs but the output is digital. Operation: To transmit multiple digital signals, the data to be transmitted is formatted into serial data words. One byte may be transmitted during the time interval assigned to a particular channel. Each timeslot might contain 1 byte from each channel. One channel transmit 8 bits and then halts while the next channel transmits 8 bits, and then the third channel as well transmits 8 bits and so on. This process is known as interleaving. A frame is one complete cycle of operation. TDM-PCM 24
