WIRELESS MEDIA
“Wireless” means transmitting signals over
invisible radio waves instead of wires.
• WIRELESS & RADIO
Radio waves are extensively used in wireless
communication system.
A radio may be defined as:
A method of communicating over a distance by
modulating electromagnetic waves using an
intelligence bearing signal and radiating these
modulated waves
• frequency bands - between 10kHz and 3000
GHz.
1867: Maxwell predicated existence of electromagnetic waves.
1901: Marconi successfully transmitted radio signals across Atlantic Ocean from
Cornwall to Newfoundland.
• Data rate is limited by signal power, noise power, distortion and bit error
probability.
• Ex: 10 bits are altered when 10,000 bits are transmitted; the bit error
probability is now
• 10/10000=10 -3
C=Blog2 (1+S/N)
=3.4*103 log2(1+100)
=3.4*103(6.66)
C=22.644 bps.
• 2. Calculate the minimum SNR required to support
information transmission through the telephone channel
of bandwidth 3.4 kHz at the data rate of 4800 bps.
Sol: Given channel data rate, C=4800 bps, B=3.4 kHz.
Therefore channel capacity,
C=Blog2 (1+S/N)
4800=3.4*103 log2(1+S/N)
1.411=log2 (1+S/N)
1+S/N=2.659
S/N=1.659
(S/N) (dB) = 10log101.659=2.2dB
(S/N)=2.2 dB
In a communication channel, the bandwidth is 10 MHz and SNR is 100.
(a) Determine the channel capacity.
(b) If SNR drops to 10, how much bandwidth is needed to achieve the
same channel capacity as in (a).
Sol: Given, channel bandwidth = 10MHz. Therefore S/N=100
Channel capacity is given by
C= Blog2 (1+S/N)
= 10*106log2(1+100)
= 66.6 Mbps
If the SNR drops to 10, that is S/N=10, the bandwidth is
B=C/log2(1+S/N)
B=C/log2(1+10)
B = (66.6*106 ) / 3.47
B=19.19 MHz

Duplexing Methods
There are two main types of duplexing methods:
TDD
There are three main types of multiple access
