EEE354 Telecommunication Systems Engineering By Irfan Latif Khan
DEFINITION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS Telecommunications eliminated a master-to-servant relationship: replacing the service of a messenger by mechanical telegraph in 1794, by copper wires in 1837, by electromagnetic waves in 1896, and by optical fiber in 1973. The word telecommunication, adding tele (= distance), was created by Edouard Estaunie´ (1862–1942) in 1904 in his book Traite´ pratique de te´le´communication electrique (te´le´graphie–te´le´phonie) In his book he defined telecommunication as ‘‘information exchange by means of electrical signals.’’ Estaunie´ thus limited telecommunications explicitly to ‘‘electrical signals.’’

DEFINITION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS By International Telecommunication Union (ITU) The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) originally recognized the term telecommunications in 1932 and defined it as: ‘‘any telegraph or telephone communication of signs, signals, writings, images and sound of any nature, by wire, radio, or other system or processes of electric or visual (semaphore) signaling.’’ Currently, the ITU defines telecommunications as ‘‘any transmission, emission, or reception of signs, signals, writings, images, and sounds; or intelligence of any nature by wire, radio, visual, or other electromagnetic systems.’’
The trunk of the tree represents the technological prerequisites for successive unfolding of the various telecommunication domains into the branches of the tree The leaves of the branches represent evolution within the separate telecommunication domains Telecommunications tree
EVOLUTION OF TELECOMMUNICATION The bases of telecommunications, and thus the roots of the tree, are science and industrialization. Optical telegraphy became possible, and thus telecommunications could grow, once thetelescopewas available and basic mechanical constructions could be made with sufficient accuracy The theory of electromagnetismand the development of precision mechanics nourished the growth of an electrical telegraphy branch. Electrical telegraphy started with code-writing telegraphs and needle telegraphs and so on. Copper-line transmission systems: Basic laws of electricity and the discovery of gutta-percha began the evolution of copper-line transmission systems on open wire, copper cable, and coaxial cable.
EVOLUTION OF TELECOMMUNICATION The basic theory of sound developed by Helmholtz supported the evolution from telegraphy to telephony. The early automation of industrial processes enabled the replacement of manual switchboards by automatic switching devices. The discovery of electromagnetic radiation and the subsequent development of devices for generating and detecting such waves led to the development of radio-telegraphy. The creation of electronic tubes (diodes and triodes) started the electronic era, which enabled the evolution from radio-telegraphy to radio-telephony and mobile radio.
EVOLUTION OF TELECOMMUNICATION The feedback principle applied in electronic circuitry facilitated the generation of high frequencies and thus the development of medium- and shortwave radio transmission and a new technology of circuit combination: carrier frequency, or multiplexing. The development of very high frequency generators in 1920 and velocity-modulated electronic tubes in the early 1930s made radio-relay transmission possible, Rockets, transistors, and solar cells were the ingredients for the satellite branch. The laser and extremely pure glass enabled the fiber optics branch to grow. ICs (integrated circuits) and microprocessors were the nourishment for the cellular radio branch. The convergence of communications and computers (C&C) and the application of CD-ROMs for high-volume data storage is currently leading to multimedia services
EVOLUTION OF TELECOMMUNICATION (FUTURE) The first new leaf will probably represent an entirely new range of combined optical transmission-switching systems. Another leaf might represent wireless broadband links in metropolitan areas provided by ‘‘subspace’’ flying base stations located in unmanned balloons and airplanes circling in the stratosphere.
Within two centuries telecommunications experienced tremendous progress. This development is best demonstrated by the example of transatlantic submarine cable transmission: 1866. The first transatlantic telegraph cable installed. Morse-coded telegraph channel with a speed of about 5 words per minute. 1956. The first transatlantic telephone cable installed. operated 36 telephone channels on two separate cables. 2000. The state-of-the art transatlantic fiber optic cable installed. 12 fibers each with a capacity of 40 WDM 10-Gbps channels, thus a total of 4.8 Tbps, which is equivalent to 58,060,800 telephone channels.
MAJOR CREATORS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS These persons, in their time, usually faced strong opposition and needed to put forth substantial effort to obtain recognition and acceptance of their invention. Claude Chappe (1763–1805) Claude Chappe began the era of telecommunications with the successful operation of his optical telegraph between Paris and Lille on August 15, 1794 he committed suicide at the age of 42 as depressed by the people. Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791–1872) The electrical telegraph had many ‘‘fathers’’ and they all developed unique solutions. But, the writing telegraph of Morse proved its superiority and found worldwide use.
Alexander Graham Bell (1847–1922) The telephone era begun in 1876 in the United States with the operation of a telephone line across a 2-mile stretch between Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, with telephone apparatus produced by Bell. Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857–1894) Heinrich Hertz laid the basis for radio transmission with successful experiments in 1887–1889 that proved the existence of electromagnetic radiation and its similarity to the behavior of light. Unfortunately, he became ill and died at the age of 37. Guglielmo Marconi (1874–1937) Marconi succeeded in transmitting a radio signal over a few kilometers at Bologna in 1896. Alec H. Reeves (1902–1971) Alec H. Reeves conceived the idea of digitizing speech and patented his pulse-code-modulation (PCM) procedure, but at a time when the prevailing technology prevented its economical realization.

Electrical Telecommunication The most important invention paving the way toward electrical telecommunications was made in 1799. When Alessandro Volta (1745–1827), constructed an electrolytic cell, later called a voltaic pile or voltaic cell. This was the first continuous source of electricity became available
Electrical Telecommunication Series of discoveries that turned attention toward electromechanical signaling. With in three decades resulted in electrical telegraphy. 1820 Hans Christian Oerstedt discovers the electromagnetic field. Ampe`re discovers electrodynamics. Johann S. Ch. Schweigger develops the galvanometer. 1825 William Sturgeon constructs the first electromagnet. 1826 Georg Simon Ohm defines the basic electrical law V = IR. 1830 William Ritchie demonstrates electrical telegraphy. 1831 Michael Faraday discovers electromagnetic induction.
ELECTRICAL TELEGRAPHY Almost simultaneously, in 1837, Cooke together with Wheatstone presented an electrical needle telegraph in Great Britain . And Morse an electrical writing telegraph in the United States. Electrical needle telegraph Three versions of needle telegraphs from Cooke and Wheatstone. Code presentation for the one-needle telegraph of Cooke and Wheatstone.

ELECTRICAL TELEGRAPHY Electrical writing telegraph Lever-transmitter making and breaking the electrical circuit when it moved up and down, soon generally known as the Morse key. With this key the telegraph receiver produced discrete dots and dashes of deferent lengths. Replica of Morse’s first electrical writing telegraph Morse telegraph as used for the Washington–Baltimore line.
TELEGRAPH TRANSMISSION TECHNOLOGY Optical telegraphy Air was the transmission medium Electrical telegraphy 1.Open-Wire Lines -One station to another via overhead copper lines -Low electrical resistance, costly, limited mechanical strength -Frequently stolen or damaged by storm and ice loads. -Copper was very soon replaced by galvanized iron, to reduce theft and to increase mechanical strength. -Hard-drawn copper wire with good mechanical strength was invented in the United States. -The electromagnetic relay became a general purpose device to repeat, regenerate, or amplify telegraph signals in route over increasingly long lines. The relay is thus the first piece of line transmission equipment
2.Underground Cable Open-wire lines are very vulnerable to damage by natural calamities and cannot be used for large water crossings. For underground cables insulation and protection was issue. Initially lead-sheathed cable was used for river crossing. Discovery of Gutta-percha proved to be an excellent insulation material for underwater cables. 3. Submarine Cable The assumption that an ocean had a smooth and calm floor proved to be wrong; strong surface currents and stony peaks broke the first cables. Cable at a depth of 6000 to 8000 m has to withstand tremendous pressures. Strong mechanical armoring was applied, brass tape was wound around the copper conductor as additional protection Laid not in a straight line but with substantial slack
Telegraph Era in Indo Pak The British physician Sir William Brooke installed an experimental electrical telegraph line near Calcutta . 1839 An electrical telegraph line was established in Calcutta between Diamond Harbor and the center of Calcutta. 1850 1855 Within four years a star-shaped network with a total length of 7000 km connected the capital Delhi with Peshawar in the far north, Calcutta in the east, Madras in the south, and Bombay in the west The first submarine cable was laid in India between the mainland and the island of Ceylon 1858 Another remarkable telegraph line was installed down the Himalayan Mountains in 1895, connecting the town of Gilgit with the Indian telegraph network. Iron masts about 10 m high supported the strong steel wires over snow heights up to 6 m. 1895
