Modems

Modems are devices that modulate digital signals to transmit them over analog communication channels and demodulate received analog signals back into digital data. Early modems from the 1950s transmitted data over telephone lines at speeds up to 300 baud. Modern modems come in various types including external, internal, wireless, and those designed for telephone lines, cable, or mobile networks. The main purpose of a modem is to convert between digital and analog signals to allow computers to communicate over analog networks. Modem security features also help protect connected devices from potential intrusions.

INTRODUCTION

 A modem (modulator-demodulator) is a device


that modulates an analog carrier signal to encode
digital information, and also demodulates such a
carrier signal to decode the transmitted
information.
 The goal is to produce a signal that can be
transmitted easily and decoded to reproduce the
original digital data.
 Modems can be used over any means of
transmitting analog signals, from light emitting
diodes to radio.
  Modems are generally classified by the amount
of data they can send in a given unit of time,
usually expressed in bits per second (bit/s, or
bps).
 The most familiar example is a voice band
modem that turns the digital data of a personal
computer into modulated electrical signals in
the voice frequency range of a telephone
channel.

 These signals can be transmitted over telephone


lines and demodulated by another modem at the
receiver side to recover the digital data.

WHAT IS MODEM.?

 Modem, short for modulator-demodulator is an


electronic device that converts a computer’s
digital signals into specific frequencies to travel
over telephone or cable television lines. At the
destination, the receiving modem demodulates the
frequencies back into digital data. Computers use
modems to communicate with one another over a
network.

 Intelligent Modems: Intelligent modems are also called advanced modems. These
modems can accept new instructions and then respond to the commands while
transmitting data and information.

 Standard Modems: Most modems used today are called standard modems. These
modems are usually operated by commands entered from a microcomputer keyboard.

 Short- haul modems are devices that transmit signals down the cable through any

 Wireless Modems: Wireless modems transmit the data signals through the air

By type of network and connection
Modems for telephone lines:
Modems for switched telephone lines are the most common type of
modems in the XX century and 2000s. Use dial-up remote access.
ISDN - modems for digital switched telephone lines.
DSL - are used for the organization of dedicated (non-switched) lines by
means of an ordinary telephone network.
Cable modems - used to exchange data on specialized cables.
Radio modems - work in the radio range, use their own frequency sets
and protocols:
Wireless modems - work on the protocols of cellular communication
(GPRS, EDGE, 3G, LTE) or Wi-Fi. Often have performances in the
form of a USB key fob. .
Satellite modems - used to transmit data through a radio channel with
retransmission via artificial satellites.
PowerLine-modems (standard HomePlug) - use the technology of
transmissions
What is Modems purpose ?
The word modem is an acronym for Modulator-
Demodulator. Basically, a modem is used for
transmitting and receiving data over a communication
channel, such as twisted-pair telephone lines, coaxial
cables, and optical fibers.
Currently the purpose of a modem is to convert a
computer’s data stream to analog format so that it can
be transmitted over the analog telephone line. At the
source, modulation techniques are used to convert digital
data (0’s and 1’s) into analog form for transmission
across the channel. At the destination, the received
analog signal is converted to digital data via demodulation.
This is a simplified explanation of how a modem works,
and there are other issues that require attention; such as
channel impairments, encryption, error detection/
correction, data compression, modulation, handshake
negotiation, and echo cancellation. These features will
be discussed a bit later.
Modem Security
 Modem security can be an issue for some people,
especially if they leave their modems on for a
continuous connection to the Internet. However,
many modems have built-in security software
to protect your home computer from invasion.
Using a router will enhance your security, as
will shifting to a less popular but highly
secure operating system like Linux.
