Block interleaving :
Bunch of information taken at a time from each
tributary and fed to main multiplex output
stream. The memory required will be verystream. The memory required will be very
large.
Bit interleaving :
A bit of information taken at time from each
tributary and fed to main multiplex output
stream in cyclic order, a very small memory
is required.

Justification
• In general, incoming tributaries have
independent clocks. In that case, it is
inevitable that clock rate of a tributary and the
(divided) clock rate of the multiplexer (in(divided) clock rate of the multiplexer (in
second order TDM, it is 8448/4 = 2112 KHz)
are not the same. Without any precautions,
the result will be Slip.

MULTIPLEXING OF ASYNCHRONOUS

• Positive justification : Common synchronization bit
rate offered at each tributary is higher than the bit
rate of individual tributary.
• Positive-negative justification : Common
synchronization bit rate offers is equal to thesynchronization bit rate offers is equal to the
nominal value.
• Negative justification : Common synchronization
bit rate offered is less than the nominal value.

RF channel arrangement
Let us look at a typical RF channel arrangement for a 6
GHz band 5925 to 6425 MHz). This band of 500 MHz
is designed for 1800 channel capacity system with 8
pairs of frequencies. The individual channel
frequencies are given byfrequencies are given by
Fn = Fc - 259.45 + 29.65 n
Fn' = Fc-7.41 + 29.65 n
Where Fo = Centre freq. of band= 6175 MHz.
Fn and Fn’ are centre frequencies of nth channel in
lower and upper half .

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying
• – Multilevel modulation technique: 2 bits per symbol
• – More spectrally efficient, more complex receiver
• Output waveform is sum of modulated ±Cosine and
±Sine wave
• 2x bandwidth efficiency of BPSK

Minimum Shift Keying
• Special form of (continuous phase) frequency shift keying
– Minimum spacing that allows two frequencies states to be
orthogonal
– Spectrally efficient, easily generated

Generating Minimum Shift Keying

Gaussian Minimum Shift
Keying(GMSK)
• MSK + premodulation Gaussian low pass filter
• Increases spectral efficiency with sharper cutoff,
excellent power efficiency due to constant envelope
• Used extensively in second generation digital cellular
and cordless telephone applicationsand cordless telephone applications
– GSM digital cellular: 1.35 bps/Hz
– DECT cordless telephone: 0.67 bps/Hz
– RAM Mobile Data

π/4-Shifted QPSK
• Variation on QPSK
– Restricted carrier phase transition to +/-π/4 and +/- 3π/4
– Signaling elements selected in turn from two QPSK constellations,
each shifted by π/4
– Maximum phase change is ±135° vs. 180° for QPSK, thus
maintaining constant envelope (i.e., amplitude of QPSK signal not
constant for short interval during 180° phase changes)constant for short interval during 180° phase changes)
• Popular in Second Generation Systems
– North American Digital Cellular (IS-54): 1.62 bps/Hz
– Japanese Digital Cellular System: 1.68 bps/Hz
– European TETRA System: 1.44 bps/Hz
– Japanese Personal Handy Phone (PHP)

π/4-Shifted QPSK (Cont’d)
• Advantages:
– Two bits per symbol, twice as efficient as GMSK
– Phase transitions avoid center of diagram, remove some design
constraints on amplifier
– Always a phase change between symbols, leading to self clocking

Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation (QAM)
• Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)
– Amplitude modulation on both quadrature carriers
– 2n discrete levels, n = 2 same as QPSK
• Extensive use in digital microwave radio links

Differential PSK
– simple receiver – no carrier recovery mechanism and
still good performance.
– logic ‘1’ –> change of logic state from previous coded bit
– logic ‘0” –> no change of state from the previous coded bit– logic ‘0” –> no change of state from the previous coded bit

Quadrature amplitude modulation is a
combination of ASK and PSK so that a
maximum contrast between each
Note:Note:
maximum contrast between each
signal unit (bit, dibit, tribit, and so on)
is achieved.

Pulse Transmission
• Channel Capacity or Information Rate
In general, the capacity of a channel for information
transfer is proportional to its bandwidth. Two major
theories that relate to the amount of data that can
be transmitted based upon the bandwidth of abe transmitted based upon the bandwidth of a
medium are the Nyquist Relationship and Shannon's
Law. Prior to discussing these theories, it is important
to understand the difference between bit and baud
due to the confusion that dominates the use of these
terms.

Bit versus baud
• The binary digit or bit is a unit of information transfer. In
comparison, the term baud defines a signalling change rate,
normally expressed in terms of signal changes per second.
• In a communications system, the encoding of one bit per
signal element results in equivalency between bit and baud.
That is, an information transfer rate of X bits per second is
carried by a signalling change rate of X baud, where each
That is, an information transfer rate of X bits per second is
carried by a signalling change rate of X baud, where each
baud signal represents the value of one bit. Now, suppose our
communications system was modified so that two bits are
encoded into one signal change. This would result in the baud
rate being half the bit rate, which obviously makes bit and
baud non–equivalent.
• The encoding of two bits into one baud is known as dibit
encoding.

Nyquist relationship
In 1928, Harry Nyquist developed the
relationship between the bandwidth and the
baud rate on a channel as
B = 2WB = 2W
where B is the baud rate and W the bandwidth
in Hz.

Shannon's law
In 1948, Claude E. Shannon presented a paper
concerning the relationship of coding to noise and
calculated the theoretical maximum bit rate capacity
of a channel of bandwidth W Hz. The relationship
developed by Shannon is given by
C = W log2 (1+S/N)C = W log2 (1+S/N)
where
C = capacity in bits per second,
W = bandwidth in Hz,
S = Signal power at the receiver input
N = power of thermal noise = No.W

Bit Baud Rate, Symbols
• We wish to transmit fb bits/s in a baseband channel having a bandwidth of
B Hz. In most applications, the transmission system is considered to be
more cost effective, if, in a given bandwidth, more bits/sec can be
transmitted. If fb, the transmission rate, is normalized to a Bandwidth B =
1 Hz, then the system efficiency can be characterised in terms of
transmitted bits per second per Hz (b/s/Hz).
• Nyquist theorem on minimum Bandwidth transmission systems states that
it is possible to transmit fs independent symbols in a channel (low pass
• Nyquist theorem on minimum Bandwidth transmission systems states that
it is possible to transmit fs independent symbols in a channel (low pass
filter) having a bandwidth of only B = fn = fs/2 Hz.
• If the digital signal changes at a rate of N bits/sec, then the modulated
phase would change at a rate of N/2 symbols/sec. This rate of change of
symbols is known as the Baud–rate (R).

Nyquist Criteria, Roll Off Factor
• Optimize the transfer function HT(f) of the
transmitting filter and the transfer function HR(f)
of the receiving filter, so that the following 3
requirements are jointly satisfied.
• ISI is Zero.
• Probability of symbol error is minimized.
• Constant power is transmitted.
• Nyquist BW required has been defined as equal to
half the symbol rate, i.e. N.BW = R/2

Example:
Thus, for a 140 Mb/s signal,
the symbol rate = 70 Mb/s if QPSK is employed. The
minimum BW needed for transmitting so many
symbols without ISI is 35 MHz. This is the one sited
filter Bandwidth. The total RF BW would include both
sides of the spectrum and be equal to 70 MHz. This is

PARABOLIC ANTENNA
• The parabolic antenna is used
almost universally in point-to-
point systems. The parabolic
antenna utilizes a reflector
consisting of a paraboloid of
revolution and primary
radiator at the focal point .Theradiator at the focal point .The
reflector converts the
spherical wave radiating from
the focus to the planar wave
across the face of the
paraboloid to concentrate the
energy in a beam much like a
searchlight beam as discussed
below.

Cassegrain feed
• The Cassegrain feed is used when it is desired to place the
primary antenna at a convenient position and to shorten the
length of the transmission line or wave guide connecting the
receiver (or transmitter) to the primary. This requirement in
the line or waveguid may not be tolerated, specially over
lengths which may exceed 30 m in large antennas. Another
solution to the problem is to place the active part of the
transmitter or receiver at the focus. With transmitters this can
almost never be done because of their size, and it may also bealmost never be done because of their size, and it may also be
difficult to place the RF amplifier of the receiver there. This is
either because of its size or because of the need for cooling
apparatus for very low-noise applications in which case the RF
amplifier may be small enough, but the ancillary equipment is
not. In any case, such placement of the RF amplifier causes
servicing and replacement difficulties, and the Cassegrain
feed is often the best solution.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
• Antenna Gain
• Beam width
• Voltage to Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)• Voltage to Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR)
• Radiation Patterns
• Front-to-back ratio

Conventional feeds provide an illumination of
approximately -10 dB at the edge of the parabola from
that at the centre, which results in an antenna efficiency of
58 to 63 percent for production antennas. Taking other
factors into account, most manufacturers guarantee
antenna efficiencies of 55 percent.

Beam width
The value of  is approximately 1.1 degree at 6 GHz and 3.4
degree at 2 GHz for a 3.0 m diameter antenna. The main lobe
drops off to a null at 1.1 degree beam width off axis. This may
mean that signal could drop as much as 40 dB if a 3.0 m antenna at
6 GHz is moved 1.1 degree off axis. One can appreciate the need
for sturdy mounts and careful tower design .

Antenna Impedance
A proper Impedance Match is essential for maximum power
transfer. The antenna must also function as a matching load for
the Transmitter ( 50 ohms).
Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), is an indicator of how
well an antenna matches the transmission line that feeds it. Thewell an antenna matches the transmission line that feeds it. The
antenna VSWR is the ratio of the amplitude of the voltage
standing wave at the maximum to the amplitude at the minimum.
It is the ratio of the forward voltage to the reflected voltage
. The better the match, the Lower the VSWR. VSWR is always
equal to or greater than 1.0. A 1.000 VSWR indicates that an
antenna is perfectly matched to a transmission line. A value of
1.5:1 over the frequency band of interest is a practical maximum
limit.

VOLTAGE STANDING WAVE RATIO
(VSWR)
• The antenna VSWR is the ratio of the
amplitude of the voltage standing wave at the
maximum to the amplitude at the minimum.
VSWR is always equal to or greater than 1.0.VSWR is always equal to or greater than 1.0.
• A 1.000 VSWR indicates that an antenna is
perfectly matched to a transmission line.

Return Loss is related to VSWR, and is a measure of the
signal power reflected by the antenna relative to the
forward power delivered to the antenna.
The higher the value (usually expressed in dB), the
better. A figure of 13.9dB is equivalent to a VSWR of
Return Loss
better. A figure of 13.9dB is equivalent to a VSWR of
1.5:1. A Return Loss of 20dB is considered quite good,
and is equivalent to a VSWR of 1.2:1.
Return Loss [in db] = 20 log VSWR +1

Transponder
• Some satellites have (hundreds of) transponders for
communication purposes.
• A transponder
1) receives transmissions from earth (uplink);
2) changes signal frequency;
3) amplifies the signal; and
4) transmits the signal to earth (downlink).

Satellite Subsystems
• The main subsystems in a satellite are
– communications;
– power;
– telemetry; tracking, and control (TTC);
– propulsion;
– attitude stabilization; and
– antenna subsystems.
• Power subsystem consists of solar panels, batteries, dc-
to-dc converters, and regulators. Solar panels convert
sunlight into power to operate all satellite electronics
and to charge batteries (used when sunlight is blocked).

Satellite Subsystems (Cont’d)
• The TTC subsystem contains a receiver that picks up
commands from a ground station and translates them
into control signals that initiate some action on board.
• The telemetry system monitors physical conditions within
the satellites and converts them into electrical signals
that are transmitted back to earth.

Ground Stations: The Other End
• Satellites in space communicate (transmit/receive radio
waves) with ground stations.
• Ground stations consist of subsystems:
– transmit/receive;
– Power;
– Antenna;
– TTC; and
– ground control equipment (GCE).

Satellite Dish
• Ground stations feature large parabolic dish
antennas with high gain and directivity for
receiving the weak satellite signal.
