Filtering • Channel behaves as a filter • When the noise is white (uncorrelated) Gaussian optimum filter has transfer function H(w)=X*(w).
Niquist Theorem • If the signal bandwidth has width of W, then it can be reconstructed by taking 2W samples per second. • Maximum data rate is where V is the number of different symbols

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.
Issues in Wireless Transmission • Radio signals are omnidirectional, and penetrate through objects. Throughput is low. • HF radio and microwave signals are directed. Suffer from multipath fading, and are reflected against the buildings. • Above 4GHz, signals are absorbed by the rain.
Lightwave Transmission Convection currents can interfere with laser communication systems. A bidirectional system with two lasers is pictured here. Fog and rain are disruptive too.
