Digital Communication
What is communication ?

Difference between digital and analog


communication
Why digital ?

Block diagram of Digital Communication


system

Main purpose of communication is to transfer


information from a source to a recipient via a
channel or medium.
Source

Channel

Receiver

Recipient
Fig. 1 Basic block diagram of a communication system

Source: analog or digital


Transmitter: transducer, amplifier,modulator,
oscillator, power amp., antenna
Channel: e.g. cable, optical fibre, free space
Receiver: antenna, amplifier, demodulator,
oscillator, power amplifier, transducer
Recipient: e.g. person, (loud) speaker,
computer

10

Types of information
Voice, data, video, music, email etc.
Types of communication systems
Public Switched Telephone Network (voice,
fax, modem)
Satellite systems
Radio,TV broadcasting
Cellular phones
Computer networks (LANs, WANs, WLANs)

11

Information Representation
Communication system converts information into
electrical electromagnetic/optical signals appropriate for
the transmission medium.
Analog systems convert analog message into signals
that can propagate through the channel.
Digital systems convert bits(digits, symbols) into signals
Computers naturally generate information as
characters/bits
Most information can be converted into bits
Analog signals converted to bits by sampling and
12
quantizing (A/D conversion)

Why digital?
Robustness- can reconstruct digital signal from
degraded version
a big issue in long distance communication
Digital repeaters reconstruct digital signal at
intermediate stages reducing overall error.

13

Digital vs. Analog


Advantages:
Digital signals are much easier to be regenerated.
Digital circuits are less subject to distortion and
interference.
Digital circuits are more reliable and can be produced
at a lower cost than analog circuits.
It is more flexible to implement digital hardware than
analog hardware.
Digital signals are beneficial from digital signal
processing (DSP) techniques.
14

Disadvantages:
Heavy signal processing.
Synchronization is crucial.
Larger transmission bandwidth.
Non-graceful degradation.

Basic Digital Communication Transformations

Formatting/Source Coding
Transforms source info into digital symbols (digitization)
Selects compatible waveforms (matching function)
Introduces redundancy which facilitates accurate decoding
despite errors

It is essential for reliable communication


Modulation/Demodulation
Modulation is the process of modifying the info signal to
facilitate transmission
Demodulation reverses the process of modulation. It
involves the detection and retrieval of the info signal
Types
Coherent: Requires a reference info for detection
Noncoherent: Does not require reference phase
information
18

Basic Digital Communication Transformations


Coding/Decoding
Translating info bits to transmitter data symbols
Techniques used to enhance info signal so that they are
less vulnerable to channel impairment (e.g. noise, fading,
jamming, interference)
Two Categories
Waveform Coding

Produces new waveforms with better performance


Structured Sequences

Involves the use of redundant bits to determine the


occurrence of error (and sometimes correct it)
Multiplexing/Multiple Access Is synonymous with resource
sharing with other users
Frequency
Division
Multiplexing/Multiple
Access
