Analog or Continuous Signal: The signal may acquire any value in a range of the independent
variable (time). Example: Analog Signal
Discrete or Digital Signal: The signal can have any value but it would remain constant over
periods of time called sampling period. Digital signals or numbers are processed by digital system
using the concept of binary numbers and Boolean algebra.
Number Systems: There are four number systems that are used in the digital systems.
1. Decimal Number System: It is the most commonly used numbering system in day-to-day life to
count, measure and label. Combination of ten digits from 0 to 9 are used to represent any number.
In this system the next position to the left from the decimal point represents units, tens, hundreds,
thousands etc. and the next position to the right after the decimal point represents ’s,

3. Octal Number System: In octal numbering system combination of eight digits from 0 to 7 are
used to represent a number. It will go from 0…7, a two digit sequence is from 10..77 and a three
digit sequence is from 100…777 and so on. It is used to shorten the binary numbers.
Digits are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and Base value: 8
Example: 376 = 3 x 82 + 7 x 81 + 6 x 80 = 192 + 56 + 6 = 254

Decimal to Binary:
Integer Part: To convert the decimal integer to binary, divide the number by 2 and the successive
quotients by 2. The successive remainders (which can be only 0 or 1) written in reverse order form the
equivalent binary number.
Fractional Part: To convert decimal fractions to binary, multiply the number by 2 repeatedly until
the fraction product is 0 (or until the desired number of binary places). The whole digits of the
multiplication results produce the answer, with first as MSB and the last as LSB.

Logic Gates:
Logic gates are an electronic circuit which accepts binary input and produces a binary output
namely 0 and 1. They are basic building blocks of digital circuits. They are used to create digital
circuits and even complex integrated circuits.
Combination of logic gates form circuits designed with specific tasks
Examples: Adders: to add binary numbers,
Flip-Flops: set or reset bits of memory,
Complex integrated circuits are complete circuits ready to perform several functions.
Examples: Microprocessors and Microcontrollers
There three categories of logic gates:
i. Basic Gates: NOT, OR & AND
ii. Derived Gates: EX-OR & EX-NOR
iii. Universal Gates: NAND & NOR
NOT Gate:
It is an electronic circuit having only one input and only one output. The output signal is always
opposite to the input signal and it is a physical realization of Boolean-Complement operation. It
is also called as inverter.

When A = 0 and B = 1:
Diode D1 does not conduct, since it is reverse biased. D 2 conducts, since voltage B is high (5V)
hence current flows through RL, then voltage develops across RL that is approximately equal to
voltage B. Therefore Z = 1 (5V).
When A = 1 and B = 0:
Diode D2 does not conduct, since it is reverse biased. D1 conducts, since voltage A is high (5V)
hence current flows through RL, then voltage develops across RL that is approximately equal to
voltage A. Therefore Z = 1 (5V).
When A = 1 and B = 1:
Both the diodes D1 & D2 conducts, since they are forward biased, hence current flows through R L
and voltage approximately equal voltage A or B is developed across RL. Therefore Z = 1 (5V).

Multiplexers
The objective of a multiplexer is to select one signal from a group of 2n inputs,to be an output on
a single output line. For example 8 –to-1 multiplexer (mux) is as shown in fig.Lines Do……D7 are the
data input lines and F is the output line. Lines A ,B and C are called the select lines. They are interpreted
as a three bit binary number,which is used to choose one of the D lines to be output on the line F.
Implementation
A mux can be designed with a regular pattern of AND and OR gates, as shown in fig.
Application
In all types of digital system applications, multiplexers find its immense usage. Since these allows
multiple inputs to be connected independently to a single output, these are found in variety of applications
including data routing, logic function generators, control sequencers, parallel-to-serial converters, etc.

Decoders
The objective of the decoder is to decode an n-bit binary number producing a signal on one of 2n
output lines. Figure shows an 3-to-8 decoder.
Implementation
A Decoder is often implemented with an additional input called an ‘enable’ line. When the line is
enabled, the circuit is a decoder. when it is disabled, all the outputs are 0.The same circuit can be used as
a de-multiplexer, which directs a single data input line to one of 2 n output lines, depending on the values
of n select lines. Fig shows 3 to 8 decoder implementation.

Flip-Flop:
It is a bi-stable sequential circuit, i.e its output has two stable states: logic 1 and logic 0. Flip-flops
consists of basic bi-stable element with appropriate logic in order to control its state. It requires a
clock signal to affect the changes in inputs to output. Clock signal is a rectangular signal with 50%
duty cycle as shown below.
The flip-flop changes its output either at the rising/leading edge or at the falling/trailing edge of
the clock signal according to the status of the flip-flop inputs present at that time. The two outputs
of flip-flop Q and are always complement of each other.
Application:
1. It can be used as a memory element.
2. It can be used to eliminate key de-bounce.
3. It is used as a basic building block in sequential circuits such as counters and registers.
4. It can be used as delay element.

Case 1: When S = 0, R = 0
then i.e., No change in output
Case 2: When S = 0, R = 1

Case 3: When S = 1, R = 0
then i.e., Set the output
Case 4: When S = 1, R = 1
then i.e., Forbidden State
The clock can be applied to a latch so that change in the latch’s value can only occur when the
clock is in the “1”(high) state. The result is a clocked SR latch shown in fig .
When C=0,the output of both AND gate is zero. So Q cannot change: the latch is non operational.
When C=1,output of gate g is 1.S=S and output of gate h is 1.R=R, the latch is now operational.
The term level triggered is applied to this type of latch to indicate that its ability to change value
depends on the level (low or high) of the clock signal.

The master-slave JK flip-flop allow its two information lines to be simultaneously 1, results in
toggling the output of the flip-flop, ie if present state=0, then the next state=1, and if present
state=1, then next state=0.
J and K inputs are analogous to S and R inputs of the master-slave SR flip-flop. Additional two
and-gates are used to sense and steer the state of the slave.
Working:
Case-1: When C = 0, J = 1 and K = 1,
Assume Q = 1, Q̅ = 0, ie in its 1-state (Set), then Q = QS =1, and Q̅ = Q̅ S =0
Output of J-input AND-gate = 0 = S, since inputs are: J = 1, Q̅ = 0, and
Output of K-input AND-gate = 1 = R, since inputs are: K = 1, Q = 1,
Then S = 0, and R = 1, but master doesn’t respond since C = 0.
When C = 0 to 1; Master enters into reset state, but slave is still in set state, since slave is disabled.
When C = 1 to 0; Master transferred to slave, then new state master-slave JK flip-flop is 0-state.
Thus, output of the flip-flop is toggled.
Assume Q = 0, Q̅ = 1, ie in its 0-state (Reset), then Q = = 0, and Q̅ = = 1
Output of J-input AND-gate = 1 = S, Since inputs are: J = 1, Q̅ = 1, and
Output of K-input AND-gate = 0 = R, Since inputs are: K = 1, Q = 0,
Then S = 1, and R = 0, but master doesn’t respond since C = 0.
When C = 0 to 1; Master enters into set state, but slave is still in reset state, since slave is disabled.
When C = 1 to 0; Master transferred to slave, then new state master-slave JK flip-flop is 1-state.
Thus, output of the flip-flop is toggled.

When C = 0, slave is enabled and is in 1-state, then master must also in 1-state, ie QM =1, Q̅ M = 0.
Output of J-input AND-gate = 0 = S, Since inputs are: J = 0, Q̅ S = 0, and
Output of K-input AND-gate = 1 = R, Since inputs are: K = 0, QS = 1,
Then S = 0, and R = 1, but master doesn’t respond since C = 0.
When C = 0 to 1; Master doesn’t change remains in its 1-state, ie QM = 1, Q̅ M = 0, since S = 0, R = 0.
When C = 1 to 0; Master transferred to slave, slave enters into 1-state, then output itself in 1-state.
Thus, output of the flip-flop remains in its 1-state.
Thus, when J = 0 and K = 0, output of the flip-flop remains in same state as present state

Counters
A counter is a sequential circuit that counts the number of input pulses. A counter that counts in
terms of binary is called a binary counter. The count output of an n-bit binary counter is 2 n states.
Therefore , it can count from 0 to (2n-1).
There are two types of counters
1. Asynchronous counter
2. Synchronous counter
In case of an asynchronous counter, the flip flops are clocked sequentially ,while in a synchronous
counter, they are clocked simultaneously.Therefore,time delays of each flip flop get added and their count
action is much slower than in synchronous counters.
Asynchronous counter
T flip flop are used in these counters. A 3 bit binary ripple counter is shown in fig.The small
circles at the back of the clock input stand for the fact that these are triggered by the trailing edge of the
input pulse(1 going 0).For toggling,all T inputs are kept high(1).From left to right,the first T flip flop
receives pulses from the counter.The other two receive pulses from the output of the preceding T flip flop.
Number of states of a counter is referred to as it modulus(m).For an n-bit counter,m≤2n

Information Source: Communication systems communicate messages. The messages are come from the
information sources. It may contain human voice, picture, code, data, music and their combinations.
Transmitter:
The transmitter is a collection of electronic circuits designed to convert the information into a
signal suitable for transmission over a given communication medium.
If the messages are non-electrical, immediate transmission is not possible, such messages need to
coded or processed before transmission and also require suitable transducer to convert them into
electrical signal.
Most of the transmitters have built-in amplifier circuits. These circuits amplify the incoming
signals before transmission. Built-in circuits has decoder, encoder, transducers etc.
Communication Channel: The communication channel is the medium by which the electronic signal is
transmitted from one place to another. The communication medium can be a pair of conducting wire, co-
axial cable, optical fiber cable or free space.
Noise:
Noise is a random, undesirable electric energy that enters the communication system via the
medium and interfaces with the transmitted energy. Some noise is also produced in the receiver.
Noise can be either natural or man-made.
Natural noise includes noise produced in the nature. Example: From lighting during rainy season,
Noise due to radiations produced by the sun and other stars.
Man-made noise is the noise produced by electric ignition systems of cars, electric motors,
fluorescent lights etc.
Noise can’t be completely eliminated, but can be reduced.
Receiver:
It is a collection of electronic circuits designed to convert the signal back to the original
information. It consists of amplifier, detector, mixer, oscillator, transducers etc.

A cellular /mobile system provides standard telephone operation by full duplex two way radio at
remote locations. It provides a wireless connection to the Public switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
from any user location within the radio range of the system.
Cell area
The basic concept behind the cellular radio system is that rather than serving given geographical area
within a single transmitter and receiver, the system divides service area into many small areas known as
cell as shown in fig.
The typical cell covers only several square kilometers and contain its own receiver and low power
transmitter. The cell area shown in fig is an ideal hexagon. However, in a reality they will have circular or
other geometric shapes. These areas may overlap and cells may be of different sizes.
A basic cellular system consists of mobile stations, base stations and a mobile switching
centre(MSC).The MSC is also known as Mobile Telephone Switching Office(MSTO).
The MSTO controls the cells and provides the interface between each cell and the main telephone
office. Each mobile communicates via radio with one of the base stations and may handed off to any other
base station throughout the duration of the call.
Each mobile station consists of a transceiver, an antenna and control unit circuit. The base stations
consists of several transmitters and receivers which simultaneously handle full duplex communication and
generally have towers which support several transmitting and receiving antennas.
The base station serves as a bridge between all mobile users in the cell and connects the simultaneous
mobile calls via telephone lines or microwave link to the MSC.
The MSC co-ordinates the activities of all base stations and connects the entire cellular system to the
PSTN. Most cellular systems also provide a service known as roaming.
A simple block diagram representing working of mobile networks through GSM is as shown in fig.
The cellular system operates in the 800-900 MHz range. The new digital cellular system has even greater
capacity. Some of these systems operates in 1.7-1.8GHz bands.

Transmitter
It is the low power FM transmitter operating in a frequency range of 825 to 845 MHz. There is
66630 KHz transmit channel. Transmitter produces a deviation of ±12MHz.The modulated output is
translated upto final transmitter frequency with the help of mixer, whose second input also comes from
frequency Synthesizer. The unique feature of high power translator is that output is controllable by the
cell site and MSTO (Mobile telephone switching office).
Receiver
The cellular receiver consists of RF amplifier, FM demodulator and filters. An RF amplifier boots
the level of received cell site signal. Received signal is monitored by MTSO. If the signal is weak in the
present cells then mobile unit is shifted to other site where the signal is strong.
Frequency Synthesizer
Frequency Synthesizer is used to generate various signals required for transmitter and receiver.
When a mobile unit initiates a call, MTSO identifies the user and assigns a frequency channel which is
not used by any other mobile in the cell. MTSO sends a unique code for setting channel frequencies.
Logic Unit
Logic unit is microprocessor controlled master control circuit for cellular radio. It basically controls
the complete operation of MTSO and mobile unit.
Control Unit
The control unit is a set of speaker ,microphone with touch tone dialing facility and it stores the
memory like numbers and dialing features.
