Basic Questions and Answers Digital Networks

The document discusses data transmission rates and encoding schemes. It explains how to calculate maximum data rates based on sampling frequency and signal levels. It also discusses the differences between passive stars and active repeaters in fiber optic networks. transmission times for facsimile and RGB images over ISDN B channels are calculated. Finally, it shows calculations for determining the maximum number of lines a PBX can handle using time division switching and the maximum number of slow terminals that can be multiplexed with fast terminals onto an outgoing line.

A noiseless 4-Khz channel is sampled every millisecond. What is the maximum data rate?

The maximum data rate can be calculated by: ( ) Where H is the frequency and V is the amount of levels (2 for binary, for example). We need to know the amount of levels to calculate the maximum data rate in this case. If a binary signal is sent over a 3-Khz channel whose signal-to-noise ratio is 20 dB, what is the maximum achievable data rate? The maximum data rate can be calculated by: ( )

Where S/N is the signal to noise ratio and is often stated in decibels. So for this case: ( )

Resulting in approximately 13,177 bps maximum achievable data rate. Sketch the Manchester encoding for the bit stream: 0001110101

Sketch the differential Manchester encoding for the bit stream of the previous problem. Assume the line is initially in the low state.

What is the difference between a passive star and an active repeater in a fiber optic network? A passive star simply receives a signal while an active repeater actually repeats the signal, effectively multiplying the range of the signal.

How long does it take to transmit an 8 inch by 10 inch image by facsimile over an ISDN B channel? The facsimile digitizes the image into 300 pixels per inch and assigns 4 bits per pixel. The image has a total of 8x10 or 80 square inches. Then each square inch has 300 pixels so we have 19,200 pixels for the image. We then have 4 bits per pixel so in total we have 76,800 bits for the image. ISDN B can transmit at a maximum of 64kbps so it would take 76.8/64 = 1.2 seconds to transmit the image. Same as last problem but with a RGB image with 8 bits per pixel. It would take twice the time, so 2.4 seconds. How many lines can a PBX handle using time division switching if the RAM access time is 50 nsec? We know that the time needed to process a frame is 2nT microsec and one frame period is 125 microsec. Therefore n=(125 microsec/(2*T)) and since T = 50 nanosec then:

A terminal multiplexer has six 1200-bps terminals and n 300-bps terminal connected to it. The outgoing line is 9600 bps. What is the maximum value of n? We can establish the equation:

From which we solve that the maximum number for n is 8. A maximum of eight 300 bps lines can be connected to the same TDM as the six 1200 lines.
