Digital Communication Digital Communication Digital Communication Digital Communication

The document discusses digital communication systems. It defines key concepts like digital transmission, digital radio, bits, bit rate, baud, and baud rate. It explains that digital communication involves the transmission of digitally modulated analog carriers between points. The advantages of digital transmission include being less expensive, more reliable, easier to manipulate, flexible, and having better error performance compared to analog transmission. Key applications of digital modulation discussed are low-speed voice band data communications using modems, high-speed data transmission systems, digital microwave and satellite communication systems, and cellular telephone systems. The document also covers information capacity and the Shannon limit to information capacity.

DIGITAL COMMUNICATION

Introduction
Presentation by P.Kaythry AP/ECE SSN College of Engineering

Objectives
At the end of this session you can understand What is digital communication? What is mean by information capacity? What is mean by bits, bit rate, baud, baud rate?

Introduction
Transmittal of digitally modulated analog carrier between two or more points Digital communication includes - digital transmission digital radio Digital radio differ from AM,FM,PM by the property or nature of modulating signal: - with AM,FM,PM modulating signal is analog - with digital radio modulating signal is digital

Advantages & Disadvantages of Digital transmission Less expensive


More reliable Easy to manipulate Flexible Better Error performance Compatibility with other digital systems Only digitized information can be transported through a noisy channel without degradation longer distances Sampling error More BW Complex circuit Incompatibility in analog systems Synchronization

Applications of Digital modulation


Low speed voice band data communications modem High speed data transmission systems. (DSL) Digital microwave and satellite communication systems Cellular telephone (PCS)

Information Capacity
Measure of how much information can be propagated through a communications system and is function of BW and Transmission time. Represents no. of independent symbols that can be carried through a system in a given unit of time. Bit basic digital symbol - information Bit rate information capacity of a system (bps) Hartley's Law : I B t

Shannon limit to information capacity


Information capacity BW and Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) Higher SNR better performance higher information capacity.
S I = B log 2 1 + N

Baud
Bit rate rate of change of a digital information signal binary. Baud rate of change of signal on the transmission medium after encoding and modulation - unit of transmission rate/ symbol rate/ symbols per second/ modulation rate. Baud = 1/ ts ts - time of one signaling element (seconds)

Minimum BW
Nyquist statement binary digital signals can propagate through an ideal noiseless transmission medium at a rate equal to two times the BW of the medium. fb = 2B, fb - Bit rate or channel capacity, B Nyquist BW. For a given BW highest theoretical bit rate - 2B For multilevel signaling M = no. of discrete signals or voltage levels
f b = 2 B log
