  4. Transmission of Information • From Physics • Energy • Electromagnetic wave propogation • From Mathematics • Coding Theory

  5. Analog and Digital Signaling

  6. Amplitude Modulation

  7. Frequency Modulation

  8. Baseband and Broadband

  9. Phase Modulation

  10. Modems

  11. Digital Encoding

  12. CSU/DSU

  13. Undesirable Effects and Limitations • Propagation Delay • Bandwidth • Noise • Interference • Distortion • Attenuation

  14. Sampling and Nyquist’s Theorem

  15. Shannon’s Limit • Corrects for SNR • Encoding more bits per cycle time helps, but you cannot overcome the fundamental physical limits of a real transmission system.

  16. Timing • Asynchronous • bit level • Synchronous • character level • Isochronous • timing coordination must be successful

  17. Transmission Media

  18. Connectors

  19. Media Test and Measurement • Hands-on Demo
