  1. Computer Networks The Physical Layer and Communication Media By Husnain Sherazi

  2. Guided Transmission Data • Magnetic Media • Twisted Pair • Coaxial Cable • Fiber Optics

  3. Twisted Pair (a) Category 3 UTP. (b) Category 5 UTP.

  4. Coaxial Cable A coaxial cable.

  5. Fiber Optics (a) Three examples of a light ray from inside a silica fiber impinging on the air/silica boundary at different angles. (b) Light trapped by total internal reflection.

  6. Transmission of Light through Fiber Attenuation of light through fiber in the infrared region.

  7. Fiber Cables (a) Side view of a single fiber. (b) End view of a sheath with three fibers.

  8. Fiber Cables (2) A comparison of semiconductor diodes and LEDs as light sources.

  9. Fiber Optic Networks A fiber optic ring with active repeaters.

  10. Wireless Transmission • The Electromagnetic Spectrum • Radio Transmission • Microwave Transmission • Infrared and Millimeter Waves • Lightwave Transmission

  11. The Electromagnetic Spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum and its uses for communication.

  12. Radio Transmission (a) In the VLF, LF, and MF bands, radio waves follow the curvature of the earth. (b) In the HF band, they bounce off the ionosphere.

  13. Politics of the Electromagnetic Spectrum The ISM bands in the United States.

  14. Communication Satellites • Geostationary Satellites • Medium-Earth Orbit Satellites • Low-Earth Orbit Satellites • Satellites versus Fiber

  15. Communication Satellites Communication satellites and some of their properties, including altitude above the earth, round-trip delay time and number of satellites needed for global coverage.

  16. Communication Satellites (2) The principal satellite bands.

  17. Globalstar (a) Relaying in space. (b) Relaying on the ground.
