TRANSMISSION IMPAIRMENT
Transmission impairment occurs when the received signal is different from the
transmitted signal.
Three causes of impairment are attenuation, distortion, and noise.

ATTENUATION
• Attenuation means a loss of energy. When a signal, travels through a medium, it loses
some of its energy in overcoming the resistance of the medium.
• To overcome form this loss, amplifiers are used to amplify the signal.
• To show that a signal has lost or gained strength, we use the unit of the decibel.
The decibel (dB) measures the relative strengths of two signals at two different points.

DISTORTION
• Distortion means that the signal changes its form or shape. Distortion can occur
in a composite signal made of different frequencies.
• In other words, signal components at the receiver have phases different from
what they had at the sender. The shape of the composite signal is therefore not
the same.

NOISE
• Noise is another cause of impairment. Several types of noise, such as thermal
noise, induced noise, crosstalk, and impulse noise, may corrupt the signal.
• Thermal noise is the random motion of electrons in a wire which creates an
extra signal not originally sent by the transmitter. Induced noise comes from
sources such as motors and appliances.

PERFORMANCE:
The performance can be by checking the following parameters.
1) Bandwidth: The maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a
connection in a given amount of time. It can be represented in terms of hertz as well as
bits per second. The bandwidth utilization should be high.
2) Throughput: is a measure of how fast we can actually send data through a network.
So we may have a link with a bandwidth of 1 mbps, but we can only send let 300 kbps.
So the throughput is 300kbps. The throughput should be high.
3) Latency: it defines how long it takes for an entire message to completely arrive at the
destination from the time the 1st bit is sent out from the source.
Latency= propagation time + transmission time + queuing time + processing time
The latency should be low.
4) Jitter: Jitter is a problem if packets of data encounter different delays.

TRANSMISSION MODES
• When we are considering the transmission of data from one device to another,
do we send 1 bit at a time; or do we group bits into larger groups.
• The transmission of binary data across a link can be accomplished in either
parallel or serial mode.
• There are two transmission modes: Parallel & Serial.

Course : Computer Networks Course Coordinator : Mr.
Parallel Transmission
• In parallel mode, multiple bits are sent
at a time.
• Binary data, consisting of 1s and 0s, may
be organized into groups of n bits each
and sent. This is called parallel
transmission.
Advantages:
• The advantage of parallel transmission is speed.
• Parallel transmission can increase the transfer speed by a factor of n over serial
transmission.
Disadvantage:
• Parallel transmission requires n communication lines just to transmit the data stream.
Because this is expensive, parallel transmission is usually limited to short distances.

Course : Computer Networks Course Coordinator : Mr.
Serial Transmission
In serial mode, 1 bit is sent at a time, one
bit follows another, so we need only one
communication channel rather than N to
transmit data between two
communicating devices.
Advantages:
Serial transmission needs only one communication channel.
Serial transmission reduces the cost of transmission over parallel.
Disadvantage:
Since communication within devices is parallel, conversion devices are required at the
interface between the sender and the line (parallel-to-serial) and between the line and the
receiver (serial-to-parallel).

ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION
In asynchronous transmission, we send 1 start bit (0) at the beginning and 1 stop
bits (1) at the end of each byte. There may be a gap between each byte.

SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION
In synchronous transmission, we send bits one after another without start or
stop bits or gaps. It is the responsibility of the receiver to group the bits.

Introduction to Satellite communication: Satellite communication is an
electronic communication package placed in an orbit. Satellites uses
microwave frequencies for communication with each other using inter-satellite
links and with earth stations or VSATs. There are different types of satellite
based on applications and their orbits.
Advantages:
• Through satellite transmission, coverage over geographical area is quite
large mainly for sparsely populated areas.
• High bandwidth.
• Wireless and mobile communication applications can be easily established
by satellite communication independent of location.

• It is used in wide variety of applications such as global mobile
communication, private business networks, Long distance
telephone transmission, weather forecasting, radio/TV signal
broadcasting, gathering intelligence in military, navigation of ships
and air craft, connecting remote areas, television distribution etc.
• Security in satellite transmission is usually provided by the coding
and decoding equipment.
• Over long distances, it can be cheaper.
• The laying and maintenance is easy and cheap in satellite
communication therefore it is best alternative.

Disadvantages:
Design, development, investment and insurance of satellite require higher
cost.
To reach the satellite from Earth, time can vary between 270 milliseconds
and return again to 320 milliseconds. This propagation delay can cause an
echo over telephone connections
Satellites are not easy to repair and maintain.
Some circumstances like weather or sunspots affect the satellite’s signal and
can cause interference and make proper operation of the satellite very
difficult.
It requires be monitoring and controlling on regular periods so that it
remains in the orbit, once it has been launched.
