Introduction
Data transmission, digital transmission, or .
digital communications is the physical
transfertransfe of data
(a digital bit stream or a digitized analogue
signal) over a point-to-point or point-to-
multipoint communication channel.
Ex: optical fibres, wireless channels, computer
buses

Elements of digital communication
Discrete Information Source:
It generates message to be transmitted.
Examples are the data from computers, text
data or tele type data.
Source encoder
It assigns codes to the symbols (samples)
generated from discrete information source
The code word having n number of bits. Each
distinct sample having distinct(unique)
code word. If code word length is 8 bit(n), we
can have 256 distinct symbols(ie.,2^n).
tra bits are called as redundant bits.
Elements of digital communication
Channel Encoder:
We know that channel is the major source of
notice due to that there are more chance of
getting errors while preparing through
channel. To avoid that channel encoding is
required.
digital modulator
the message signal is digital data and carrier
is analog one, in most cases we use
sinusoidal waves. Some examples are ASK,
FSK,PSK.MRI techniques.
Elements of digital communication
Channel:
It provides the link between transmitter and
receiver. Channel may be wired or wireless
channel
Addictive noise
This noise is occur due to internal solid state
devices or resistors used in
channel.
Ampltude and Phase Distortion:
This noise is occurred due to non-linear
characteristics of the channel.
Elements of digital communication
Attenuation:
This is due to internal resistance of the
channel.
Demodulator:
This device is used to detect the digital
message signal from the modulated signal.
Channel Decoder:
This is used to detect and correct the errors
that occur in the digital message signal.
Elements of digital communication
Source Decoder:
This produces the sampling signal from the
given digital message signal.
Destination:
The sampled signal is converted into audio
Elements of digital communication
Advantages of digital communication :
1. Easy way of transmission of signals
2. Connection of more calls through one channel
i.e., Multiplexing is possible using Digital
communication.
3. Source Encoding and Channel Encoding can
be used to detect errors at the received
signal.
4. Using repeaters between source and
destination, we can reproduce the original
signalsignal with less distortion
Advantages of digital communication :
5. Security is the major advantage of digital
communication compared to Analog
Communication.
6. Transmitting analogue signals digitally
allows for greater signal processing
capability.
7. Digital communication can be done over
large distances through internet and other
things.
Disadvantages of digital communication
1. Sampling Error
2. Digital communications require greater bandwidth
than analogue to transmit the same
information.
3. The detection of digital signals requires the
communications system to be synchronized,
whereas generally speaking this is not the case with
analogue systems.
4. Digital signals are often the approximation of
voice signals, ie, we don‟t get the exact analogue
signal .
