Analog versus Digital • Harder to separate noise from an analog signal than from a digital signal • If there is too much noise cannot discern a high voltage from a low voltage
Original pulse Regenerated pulse Propagation distance Voice Data A bit is a bit! Media Analog versus Digital • Regenerator receiver • Different kinds of digital signal are treated identically.
Analog versus Digital • Stability of components: Analog hardware change due to component aging, heat, etc. • Flexibility: • Perform encryption • Compression • Error correction/detection • Reliable reproduction
Baseband signal Bandpass signal Local oscillator Bandwidth of signal • Baseband versus bandpass: • Bandwidth dilemma: • Bandlimited signals are not realizable! • Realizable signals have infinite bandwidth!
Source coding • Encoder: mapping of the dig info at the source o/p with another dig form • One-one mapping, reduce redundancy • Decoder: inverse mapping • Advantage: a reduced bandwidth requirement
Channelcoding • Encoder: map the incoming dig sgl into a channel input • Decoder: map the channel o/p into an o/p dig sgl, so that channel noise is minimized • Combnd role: provide for reliable communication over a noisy channel
Half-power bandwidth • Noise equivalent bandwidth • Null-to-null bandwidth • Fractional power containment bandwidth • Bounded power spectral density • Absolute bandwidth (a) (b) (c) (d) (e)50dB • Different definition of bandwidth:
