Physical Layer Presentation

The physical layer is the lowest layer of the OSI model and is responsible for transmitting raw bits over a communication channel. It defines functions like data rates, synchronization of bits, determining the transmission medium and topology, and providing the physical interface. Physical topologies include mesh, star, bus and ring configurations. Transmission can occur via guided media like twisted pair, coaxial or fiber optic cables, or via unguided wireless media like radio waves, microwaves or infrared.

Introduction
 The physical Layer is the bottom-most layer in the
Open System Interconnection (OSI) Model which is a
physical and electrical representation of the system.
Functions Performed by Physical Layer

 The physical layer maintains the data rate (how many bits a sender
can send per second).
 It performs the Synchronization of bits.
 It helps in Transmission Medium decisions (direction of data
transfer).
 It helps in Physical Topology (Mesh, Star, Bus, Ring) decisions
(Topology through which we can connect the devices with each
other).
 It helps in providing Physical Medium and Interface decisions.
 It provides two types of configuration Point to Point configuration
and Multi-Point configuration.
 It provides an interface between devices (like PCs or computers) and
transmission medium.
 It has a protocol data unit in bits.
Physical Topologies

 Physical Topology or Network Topology is the Geographical


Representation of Linking devices.

 Mesh Topology
 Star Topology
 Bus Topology
 Ring Topology
Line Configuration

 Point-to-Point configuration: In Point-to-Point


configuration, there is a line (link) that is fully
dedicated to carrying the data between two
devices.
 Multi-Point configuration: In a Multi-Point
configuration, there is a line (link) through which
multiple devices are connected.
Modes of Transmission Medium

 Simplex mode

 Half Duplex mode

 Full-Duplex mode
Physical Layer Protocols Examples

 It consists of several protocols that control data


transmissions on a network. The following are
some examples of Layer 1 protocols:-
 Physical-layer variations in 802.11.
 Bluetooth.
 Networking for controllers.
Types of Transmission Media

 Guided Media: It is also referred to as Wired or


Bounded transmission media. Signals being
transmitted are directed and confined in a narrow
pathway by using physical links.

 There are 3 major types of Guided Media

 Twisted Pair Cable

 Coaxial Cable

 Optical Fiber Cable


Types of Transmission Media
 Unguided Media: It is also referred to as Wireless
or Unbounded transmission media. No physical
medium is required for the transmission of
electromagnetic signals.
 There are 3 types of Signals transmitted through
unguided media
 Radio Waves
 Micro waves
 Infrared
