Transmission Modes

The document presents an overview of data transmission and its modes, defining the direction of signal flow between communication devices. It details three types of transmission modes: Simplex (unidirectional), Half Duplex (bidirectional but not simultaneous), and Full Duplex (simultaneous bidirectional). Each mode is accompanied by its advantages and disadvantages.

DATA TRANSMISSION

• Data transmission refers to


the direction of signal flow
between two linked devices.
• This transfer of data takes
place and some form of
transmission media.
TRANSMISSION MODE

The term transmission mode


defines the direction of the flow
of information between two
communication devices i.e ,
It tells the direction of signal flow
between the two devices.
TYPES OF TRANSMISSION MODE

1. SIMPLEX TRANSMISSION
MODE.
2. HALF DUPLEX
TRANSMISSION MODE
3. FULL DUPLEX
TRANSMISSION MODE.
SIMPLEX MODE

 In Simplex mode, communication


is unidirectional, as on a way
street. Only one of the two
devices on a link can transmit;
the others can only receive.
 Keyboards and monitors are the
examples of the channel to send
data in one direction.
Advantages of SIMPLEX

Cheapest communication method.

Disadvantages of SIMPLEX

Only allows for communication in one


direction.
HALF DUPLEX
• In half duplex transmission data can
be sent in both the directions, but
only in one direction at a time.
• Both the connected device can
transmit and receive but not
simultaneously.
• When one device is sending the
other can only receive and vice-
versa.
Advantages of HALF DUPLEX

Costs less than Full Duplex.


Enables for two way communications.

Disadvantages of HALF DUPLEX

Costs more than Simplex.


Only one more device can transmit at a
time.
FULL DUPLEX

• In full duplex transmission, data can be


sent in both the directions
simultaneously.
• Both the connected devices can
transmit and receive at the same time.
• Therefore it represents truly bi-
directional system.
• In full duplex mode, signals going in
either
• Direction share the full capacity of link.
Advantages of FULL DUPLEX

Enables two-way communication


simultaneously.

Disadvantages of FULL DUPLEX

The most expensive method in terms of


equipment because of two bandwidth
channels is required.
