Communications SystemIn its simplest form a telecommunications system consists of a transmitter, a channel, a receiver and two transducers.

13

TransducerConverts the input message into an electrical signal. Examples of transducers include:

Microphone – converts sound to electrical signal Camera – converts image to electrical signal

A transducer is also used to convert electrical signals to an output message (or approximation of the input message), e.g., sound, images etc.

14

TransmitterConverts electrical signal to a form that is suitable for transmission through the transmission medium or channel.Generally matching of signal to channel is done by modulation.Modulation uses the information (message signal) to vary the amplitude, frequency or phase of a sinusoidal carrier, e.g. amplitude/frequency modulation AM/FM.The transmitter also filters and amplifies the signal.

15

ReceiverRecovers the message contained in the received signal Demodulates the message signalFilters signal and suppresses noise

16

Communication ModesThere are a few basic modes of communication: Unicast: where one user wishes to communicate with one other user. Communication is normally two-way.Broadcast: Where one sender communicates with all capable receivers who cannot respond. The communication is therefore normally one-way.Multicast: One sender communicates with a nominated set of receivers who cannot respond.

17

Methods of Data TransmissionThere are a few basic methods of data transmission:Simplex: Data is transmitted in one direction only. The receiver cannot communicate with the sender.Duplex: Data transmission can take place in both directions simultaneously.Half-Duplex: Data transmission can take place in both directions but not at the same time.

18

Time ConstraintsThere are generally two sets of time restraints; real-time or time-lapse:

Real-Time: Real-time communication is instant and data must be sent and received simultaneously. An example of this is the telephone network or two-way radio communications.

19

Cont.If a conversation is to be maintained there must be immediate interaction between the talkers. Delays will make the conversation difficult or impossible.Time-Lapse: Data may be received at any time after having been sent. Examples include email, downloading a file from a central server or from the Internet. A delay of a few seconds or even minutes is acceptable. The time of receipt is not important.

20

Transmission ModesAll transmission is analogue, in the sense that physical quantities (voltage, current, electromagnetic radiation) must vary in a smooth way. However, the representation of the underlying signals may be either analogue or digital.
