3. INTRODUCTION
TRANSMISSION MEDIA : Refer to physical media through which
data can be transfer from one point to another.
Electromagnetic signal are transferred.(Electromagnetic
Spectrum)
Electromagnetic Spectrum consist of power, voice, waves, infrared
light, UV,X-rays etc.
These signals transmitted through vacuum, air or other media.
6. GUIDED / WIRED MEDIA
It use cabling system.
Cables composed of copper, tin, or silver.
Data signal in guided medium is bound by cabling system.
Wired Media
Twisted
pair Coaxial
cable
Optical
fiber
7. Twisted Pair
In this there is twisted pair of insulated conductor.
Its biggest network in the world, telephonic network starts from twisted pair
cabling.
Each pair consist of wire ,used for receiving data & transmitting the data
signal.
Used in short distance communication.
UTP
CABLE
STP
CABLE
TWISTED
PAIR
8. Unshielded twisted pair
Used for both data & voice transmission hence it is used telephone system.
4 pairs of wire have different nos. of twist/ inch.
Tighter twist proportional to high transmission rate & cost per foot.
Each pair consist of two conductors have Own colored insulation.
9. shielded twisted pair
In addition to UTP there is metal foil covering that cover each pair of
insulated conductor.
To prevent infiltration of electromagnetic noise.
It eliminate cross talk in telephonic talk.
Extra shielding made cable quite bulky.
All signaling is baseband based for twisted pair.
COAXIAL CABLE
10. Coaxial Cable
As a name indicates single axis that is solid wire conductor (usually
Cu).
Conductor is surrounded by insulator.
Shield is sleeve of metal to block out side interface.
Jacket it is on shield in thick ratio (PVC)
Offer high band width ,compare with twisted pairs.
It support greater cable length b/w networks devices as compare to twisted pairs.
Highly resistant to signal interface.
Speed of data transmission 10 MB/s
Use in TV networks.
Installation is bit difficult, & cost per foot high.
11. Optical fiber
As a name indicates it consist of thin glass fiber.
Narrow stand of glass that is called core.(62.5x 1/10^6 m) diameter.
Concentric layer of glass called cladding, diameter is twice of core.
Plastic protective coating called jacket.
It used for long distance transmission of data.
Cladding is amplify or modulating the signal.
TIR : total internal reflection. Working principle of optical fiber.
One signal fiber = pack of 100 of fiber, 1 fiber =1000 twisted pair wire.
Most expensive, difficult to install, modification & error finding is also
difficult.
13. UNGUIDED / WIRE LESS
As name indicates its wireless transmission media.
Medium is air, water or vacuum.
Faster & wide area covering.
Data signals are not guided to follow fixed
channel.
15. RADIO FREQUNCY PROPAGATION
Signals carried by carrier waves which have
frequency in RF spectrum . This propagation
further divided .
RF propagation
Ground wave
propagation
Ionosphere
propagation
Line of sight
17. IONOSPHERIC PROPAGATION.
Signal waves bounces off the earth ionosphere. Layer in upper atmosphere.
Carrier frequency 30-85 MHz
It is dependent of timing & weather conditions.
18. LINE OF SIGHT
As name shows it is based upon line of sight.
Follow earth curvature ( maximum distance b/w to station is 50 km).
Also known as tropospheric propagation or space wave propagation.
19. MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION
Use of MICROWAVE signals having high frequency.
It uses parabolic antennas.
It is for long distance data transmission, with the help of repeaters.
Distance b/w repeaters goes up with square root of tower height. D=h^2
20. Satellite transmission
It is kind of line of sight transmission.
satellite placed in geostationary orbits , which rotates in synchronization to
earth.( geostationary orbits 36000 km from earth)
Communication carried through uplink & down links. Also called earth
stations.
Area cover by satellite for transmission data called footprint.
21. Infrared wave transmission
Infrared frequency below the visible spectrum.
Used for short range communication.
Waves are cheap , directional can easily built.
Examples TV remotes, LAN, garage doors, wireless speaker , mobile phone
etc.
22. Bluetooth….
It is inbuilt in devices like phone & laptops.
It use to creates personal area network.
The working range is 10 m.
Its key feature is low complexity and low power consumption.
23. Wi -fi
Wi-Fi indicates Wireless fidelity for wireless LANs
& wireless internet access.
Wi–Fi Range is up to 50 m.
It eliminate installation cost & complexity of wire
network .
In disadvantage weak security, because Wi-Fi
signals are not confined.
