Bandwidth and Data Rate • Any transmission system supports only a limitedband of frequencies for satisfactory transmission • “system” includes: TX, RX, and Medium • Limitation is dictated by considerations of cost, number of channels, etc. • This limitedbandwidth degrades the transmitted signals, making it difficult to interpret them at RX • For a given bandwidth: Higher data rates More degradation • This limits the data rate that can be used withgiven signal and noise levels, receiver type, and error performance • More about this later!!!

Decibels and Signal Strength • Decibel is a measure of ratio between two signal levels • NdB= number of decibels • P1 = input power level • P2 = output power level • Example: • A signal with power level of 10mW inserted onto a transmission line • Measured power some distance away is 5mW • Loss expressed as NdB =10log(5/10)=10(-0.3)=-3 dB COE 341 – Dr. Marwan Abu-Amara
Decibels and Signal Strength • Decibel is a measure of relative, not absolute, difference • A loss from 1000 mW to 500 mW is a loss of 3dB • A loss of 3 dB halves the power • A gain of 3 dB doubles the power • Example: • Input to transmission system at power level of 4 mW • First element is transmission line with a 12 dB loss • Second element is amplifier with 35 dB gain • Third element is transmission line with 10 dB loss • Output power P2 • (-12+35-10)=13 dB = 10 log (P2 / 4mW) • P2 = 4 x 101.3 mW = 79.8 mW COE 341 – Dr. Marwan Abu-Amara

Power Spectral Density & Bandwidth • Absolute bandwidth of any time-limited signal is infinite • However, most of the signal power will be concentrated in a finite band of frequencies • Effective bandwidth is the width of the spectrum portion containing most of the signal power. • Power spectral density (PSD) describes the distribution of the power content of a signal as a function of frequency COE 341 – Dr. Marwan Abu-Amara
Signal Power • A function x(t) specifies a signal in terms of either voltage or current • Assuming R = 1 W, Instantaneous signal power = V2 = i2 = |x(t)|2 • Instantaneous power of a signal is related to average power of a time-limited signal, and is defined as • For a periodic signal, the averaging is taken over one period to give the total signal power COE 341 – Dr. Marwan Abu-Amara
