The main
purpose of this research paper is to study the Laplace transformation and link it to a real-life
application. I researched about it a bit and came up with 2-way communication in the phone for
the real-life application. I have more links and information I can use in this paper but as this
topic is not taught at my school level so, it is hard for me to understand the topic. So, if possible

Introduction
Cellular Communication
A cellular network are a group of cells (each cell has a fixed transceiver which is known as a
base station) providing radio network over a fixed area of land. Mobile phone, user equipment,
communicate through the cells even when the device is moving during data transmission.
Another feature of cellular networks is that they give their some special features to meets their
needs like increase data limit, less battery usage, larger geographical coverage area or even
Cellular communication is an integral part of our lives. Many people nowadays won’t be able to
live without it but what do we know about it. We know that we use it to call and connect with
other people but how does that happen? Does it happen with magic, just like that, or there is
Many don't know, but a mathematical concept plays an important role in this communication.
This concept is known as the Laplace Transform. The main purpose of the Laplace transform is
to convert a function in one domain to another function in another domain but without changing
the numeric value of the function. We use it because it transforms a complicated differential

equation to a simpler equation with polynomials. It is much easier to solve polynomials, so the
Laplace transformation is used when sending signals over 2 ways communication medium like
FM/AM stereos, radio sets and cellular phones. When any information is sent over the network,
first it is converted into a time-varying wave using Laplace transform. This way the information
is propagated. When the information is received, information is deciphered from the wave’s time

The overall idea is we will show how signal processing takes places mathematically by using

an nth degree polynomial. One can easily solve the polynomials to get the results and then

3. Required Introduction
The introduction should tell the reader what to expect in the essay. The introduction should make
clear to the reader the focus of the essay, the scope of the research, in particular, an indication of
the sources to be used, and an insight into the line of argument to be taken.
While students should have a sense of the direction and key focus of their essay, it is sometimes
advisable to finalize the introduction once the body of the essay is complete.
The main task is writing the body of the essay, which should be presented in the form of a
reasoned argument. The form of this varies with the subject of the essay but as the argument
develops it should be clear to the reader what relevant evidence has been discovered, where/how
it has been discovered and how it supports the argument. In some subjects, for example, the
sciences, sub-headings within the main body of the essay will help the reader to understand the
argument (and will also help the student to keep on track). In structuring their extended essay,
students must take into consideration the expected conventions of the subject in which their
Once the main body of the essay is complete, it is possible to finalize the introduction (which
tells the reader what to expect) and the conclusion (which says what has been achieved,
including notes of any limitations and any questions that have not been resolved).
Any information that is important to the argument must not be included in appendices or
footnotes/endnotes. The examiner will not read notes or appendices, so an essay that is not

Students should use their chosen style of academic referencing as soon as they start writing. That
way they are less likely to forget to include a citation. It is also easier than trying to add
references at a later stage. For more information on this, refer to the guidelines in the IB
Writing the essay takes time but if students have used their Researcher's reflection space and
reflection sessions in a meaningful way they should be well prepared to develop their arguments.
