Overview
- wire / optical fibre unguided - wireless characteristics and quality determined by medium and signal
guided
in unguided media - bandwidth produced by the antenna is more important in guided media - medium is more important
key
Design Factors
bandwidth
transmission
impairments
eg. attenuation
interference number
Electromagnetic Spectrum
0 to 1 MHz
5 s/km
2 km
4 s/km 5 s/km
1 to 9 km 40 km
Twisted Pair
analog
needs amplifiers every 5km to 6km can use either analog or digital signals needs a repeater every 2-3km
digital
limited distance limited bandwidth (1MHz) (1MHz) limited data rate (100MHz) (100MHz) susceptible to interference and noise
Unshielded vs Shielded TP
ordinary telephone wire cheapest easiest to install suffers from external EM interference metal braid or sheathing that reduces interference more expensive harder to handle (thick, heavy) heavy)
UTP Categories
Category 3 Class C Bandwidth Cable Type Link Cost (Cat 5 =1) 16 MHz UTP 0.7 Category 5 Class D 100 MHz UTP 1 Category 5E 100 MHz UTP 1.2 Category 6 Class E 200 MHz UTP 1.5 Category 7 Class F 600 MHz SSTP 2.2
of signal from one pair to another occurs when transmit signal entering the link couples back to receiving pair ie. near transmitted signal is picked up by near receiving pair

Antennas
radio frequency energy from transmitter converted to electromagnetic energy byy antenna radiated into surrounding environment electromagnetic energy impinging on antenna converted to radio frequency electrical energy fed to receiver
reception antenna

Antenna Gain
measure
of directionality of antenna power output in particular direction verses that produced by an isotropic antenna measured in decibels (dB) (dB) results in loss in power in another direction effective area relates to size and shape
related to gain
Terrestrial Microwave
used for long haul telecommunications and short point-to-point links point-torequires fewer repeaters but line of sight use a parabolic dish to focus a narrow beam onto a receiver antenna 1-40GHz frequencies higher frequencies give higher data rates main source of loss is attenuation
distance, rainfall
also interference
Satellite Microwave
satellite is relay station receives on one frequency, amplifies or repeats signal and transmits on another frequency
eg. uplink 5.925-6.425 GHz & downlink 3.7-4.2 GHz 925height of 35,784km 35,784km spaced at least 3-4r apart television long distance telephone private business networks global positioning
typical uses
Broadcast Radio
radio
is 3kHz to 300GHz 300GHz use broadcast radio, 30MHz - 1GHz, for: 30MHz
is
Infrared
modulate
noncoherent infrared light end line of sight (or reflection) reflection) are blocked by walls no licenses required typical uses
Refraction
sin(incidence)/sin(refraction) sin(incidence)/sin(refraction) varies with wavelength density of atmosphere decreases with height results in bending towards earth of radio waves hence optical and radio horizons differ
loss of signal with distance from water vapour and oxygen absorption multiple interfering signals from reflections bending signal away from receiver
