Modem

A modem is a device that converts digital data from a computer into analog signals to transmit over telephone lines, and vice versa. It uses modulation and demodulation. Two modems are needed, one at each end, to establish communication between computers via telephone lines. There are two main types - external modems connect to computers via serial cables, while internal modems plug directly into expansion slots inside computers. The modem converts digital data to analog for transmission, and analog signals back to digital for the receiving computer.

Data Communication

(CS-506)
Modem
Introduction:
• A modem [Modulator -Demodulator] is a device.
• Data communication means transmitting digital
information form one computer to other computers
through the comuunication channels.
• Communicate equipment used for long distance data
transfer through telephone lines.
• A pair of modems are needed to communication.
Modem
Cont.,

• Communication between computers through the


existing telephone cables.
Structure of Data Communication through
Modem

Analog data

Digital data
Working Principle

• The digital data from the computer is converted


into analog data by the modem and are
transmitted over the telephone line.
Cont.,
• The analog data received from the telephone line
is converted to digital by the modem and is given
to the computer.
Modulator

• This unit is used to convert the digital data from


computer into analog data.
• This process is called modulation.

• This is done by adding a carrier signal (High


frequency signal) to the digital signal.

modulation
Demodulator

• This unit is used to convert the analog data


from telephone system into digital data.
• This is done by eliminating the carrier signal
from analog signal.

Demodulation
Phone interface

• Connect modem with the phone socket.


• Dial the umber for making communication.
• Detect the incoming ring signals.
• Connect speaker for giving voice information ,
ring tone , engaged tone etc.,
Phone Socket
Types of modems

Two types of modem.


 External modem

 Internal modem
External modem
• External modem is separate device and is kept
outside the computer.
• A 9 pin or 25 pin serial cable connects the PC
serial port to the modem.
• Thus CPU need not be opened during modem
installation.
• The external modem setup is faster and easier
than internal modems.
External modem
Internal modem

• Internal modem is a part of the computer and is


connected inside the system.
Internal modem
• Internal modem that plugs directly into PCI (Peripheral
Component Interconnect) or ISA (Industry Standard
Architecture) expansion slot.
• Modem contain its own universal asynchronous
receiver/transmitter (UART).
• Modulator converts digital data from computer into
analog signal which is transmitted through RJ-11 jack.
• On receiver side receive the analog signal and pass them
to demodulator it converts signal and sends to UART.
Internal modem
• Controller is used to manage overall operation of modem
• NVRAM it stores modem parameters
