Communication is the process of establishing connection (or tink) between too points for information exchange. In our day to day life we come across many ways of communication. For communication to take place, three essential things must be present ie., 1) Sender or Transmitter : It sends information. For example TV transmitting station or radio transmitting stations are ~senders’, since they transmit information. 2) Receiver : It receives information. For example all TV sets and radios are receivers. They get information from transmitter. 3) Communication Channel : This is the path through which the signal propagates from transmitter to receiver. Fig. 1.1 shows an example of communication system. ‘Communication channel ‘Sender or Transmitter J f Receiver Transmitter Fig. 1.1 An example of communication system Now let us consider different examples of communication that we use in our day to day life. a)Communication Systems - | 2 Introduction 1) Telephone : All of us use telephones now a days. We know that we talk and listen through a telephone. The telephone set is connected to telephone exchange through wires. The other telephones are connected in the same way. Transmitter / Receiver or Talker / Listener Transmitter / Receiver or Talker / Listener Telephone exchange Wires connecting the teleph ‘Communication channel is the wire joining two ssibscribes 1 the. telephone subscribers through exchange telephone exchange Fig. 1.2 Communication on telephones; Line communication through wire As shown in Fig. 1.2 the transmission is bidirectional. Every telephone subscriber can talk as well as listen. Talking is equivalent to transmission of data (voice) and listening is equivalent to receiving of data. The data (ie. voice signal) is passed through wires. Thus the communication channel contains wires which are routed through telephone exchange. 2) Mobile phones (Cellular phones): As we know, the mobile phones are becoming very much popular now a days. In the mobile phones also we can talk and listen. Thus mobile subscribers are essentially talkers (i.e transmitters) and listeners, (i.e. receivers). Signate propagate through air Talker / listener Talker /listener ‘transmitter | receiver 5 L A 5 transmitter / receiver Mobile phone Mobile phone subscriber Base station Base station supsoriber antenna antenna ‘Communication channel does not contain any connection between two mobile subscribers. But the signals propagate through air. This is also called wireless communication, Fig. 1.3 Mobile communication. An example of wireless communicationCommunication Systems - | 3 Introduction As shown in the Fig.1.3, the mobile phone subscribers communicate to the base stations in their cell. Therefore two mobile subscribers communicate with each other through the base stations. Base station is similar to telephone exchange which work in particular area. But there are no wires joining the mobile phone subscribers and base stations. Thus the voice signals pass through air. Air acts as the conducting medium. This is also called wireless communication. The communication 0 channel is the air (ie. wireless). 1.1 Basic Communication Systems From the examples of communication discussed so far, now we can prepare the model of basic communication system. We know that for any communication to take place, three things are essential. They are, 1) Transmitter (Talker) 2) Receiver (listener) and 3) Channel or transmission medium. The above three things are present in any communication system. Whenever two people are talking with each other, it becomes a communication system. In that case the voice signal is exchanged and the transmission medium is air. Fig. 1.1.1 shows the block diagram of basic communication system. Transmission] iis Source Giaaial Rociver Destination Noise, interference and distortion Fig. 1.1.1 Block diagram of basic communication system As shown in the figure, the source generates the message to be transmitted. The transmitter or talker sends that message over the transmission channel. The transmission channel can be the medium such as electric conductors, air. or light (in case of optical fibré), The receiver or listener receives the message from transmission channel. It is then given to the destination by the receiver. During the transmission over the channel, the message is distorted and it becomes noisy. What is the necessity of transmitter and receiver? Why source does not speak to destination directly? This question is obvious. Source cannot speak to destination directly. For example consider a very simple example of Television System. The programs are generated by shooting the objects through camera and they are stored on-the video tape. Thus the program to be broadcasted is stored on the video tape initially. This means the source of information is “Video tape”. The people watch this program on television. ThisCommunication Systems - | 4 Introduction means the destination of the program is the ‘people’. But the people (Destination) cannot watch the program recorded on the video tape (Source) directly. The tape is broadcasted on some TV channel by the TV broadcasting station or satellite. The Television set then receives this channel and people can watch the program on their TV set. Thus for the signal to be transmitted over long distance, the TV broadcasting station is essential. And to receive the signals which are present in the air, TV set is essential. In this communication system, the TV broadcasting station is the transmitter and TV set is the receiver. Thus we can say that, The transmitter is required to make the signal suitable for conduction over the channel. And the receiver is required to convert the signal from transmission channel and make suitable for destination. 1.2 Modulation and Demodulation in Communication System Before discussing about modulation and demodulation directly, we will consider an interesting example first. Let us consider that you want to send some “parcel” from Pune to Nasik. It is obvious that the parcel cannot move from Pune to Nasik on its own. What all you need to do is, to contact some courier company. The courier company will send the parcel by some Pune-Nasik “Bus”. The courier agent at Nasik will recognize the ‘Bus’ and receive the parcel. He will then deliver the parcel to the concerned person.. This example basically represents the communication system. The parcel becomes an information to be transmitted. The courier agency office at Pune is the transmitter and its office at Nasik is the receiver. The parcel is sent through the ‘Bus’. This ‘Bus’ is the carrier which carries the parcel (ie. message). Fig. 1.2.1 shows this illustration in diagram form. . Carrier of the parcel i.e. "Bus" ‘Source or End user or ‘Sender Transmitter Receiver Destination — —+ —+agency} — Communication channel from Pune to Nasik i.e. "Road" Fig. 1.2.1 An example representing communication system As shown in Fig. 1.2.1, the parcel rides over the bus and is transmitted from source to the destination. Similarly in electrical communication, the message signal is converted to an electrical signal and given to the transmitter. The transmitter allows the signal to ride over some electrical carrier. At the receiver, the information signal isCommunication Systems - | 5 Introduction separated from the carrier. The information signal is then converted to the required format. We will now introduce modulation and demodulation. Modulation : Whenever the message or information signal rides over the carrier, it is called modulation. Consider for example a sinusoidal carrier signal. Then message signal can ride over this carrier (sine wave) in three ways - 1) It can ride over the amplitude of the carrier. 2) It can ride over the phase of the carrier. or 3) If can ride over the frequency of the carrier. In electrical sense, the operation of riding over the amplitude of carrier means to alter (or modulate) the amplitude of carrier. This is called Amplitude Modulation of the carrier. Thus the message signal becomes the modulating signal and it is transmitted by variations in the amplitude of the carrier. Similarly when message (or modulating) signal rides over the phase of the carrier it is called Phase Modulation. ‘And in case frequency Modulation, the frequency of the carrier is altered by message ig. 12.2 shows an example of Amplitude modulation. (See Fig. Modulation is the process of placing the message signal over some carrier to make it suitable for transmission over long distance. The carrier signal is basically of higher frequency than that of message. And it has the ability to travel over long distance. We will come back to the discussion of modulation later on. Now we will first see what is demodulation. Demodulation : The modulated carrier signal is transmitted by the transmitter. The receiver receives this carrier. It separates the message signal from the modulated carrier. This process is exactly 0} ite to that of modulation at the transmitter. Demodulation is the process of separating message signal from the modulated carrier signal. Continuous Wave (CW) Modulation : The sinusoidal carrier modulation discussed above is called Continuous Wave or CW modulation. The CW modulation is used by most long distance communication. The CW modulation produces frequency translation. We will not go into much details of this concept here. For example consider the case of Amplitude modulation. The message signal is of frequency 10 kHz and the carrier is of frequency 50 kHz. Then mathematically we can prove that the amplitude modulated signal will have carrier of 50 kHz, and two sidebands of (50 - 10) = 40 kHz and (50 + 10) = 60 kHz. These two side bands carry the message signal actually. But at the same time their frequency is much higher than that of message. This is nothing but translation of message frequency to high frequency side.Communication Systems - | 6 Introduction cartier is higher than that of message signal Amplitude modulated 4 signal Fig. 1.2.2 a) The message signal to be sent to destination b) The carrier signal generated by the transmitter c) Message signal rides over the amplitude of carrier signal.

One field is electric field and other is magnetic~at 90°. The direction of propagation of those waves is perpendicular to both electric and magnetic fields. The electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light (3 x10° m/sec). They can travel on electric conductors, in air, in light or in vacuum. Therefore high frequency electromagnetic waves are used as carriers for electric signals. (Actually speaking, electric signals and light are also electromagnetic waves). The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from very very lowCommunication Systems - | 7 Introduction frequencies to very very high frequen spectrum and its applications. cies.

Fiber optic communication : As shown in Fig 1.3.1 as carrier frequency goes on increasing the transmission medium, propagation mode and applications change. Communication through optical fibers takes place at Ultraviolet, Infrared and Visible light frequenies. This is calledCommunication Systems - | 8 Introduction optical communication and it is used for wide band data. Normally the transmitter or modulator in fibre optic communication system is the light source such as light emitting diode (LED) or Laser beam. The intensity of the light beam is modulated by the message signal. At the receiver, the photodiode (ie. detector) detects the varying light intensity and generates the message signal. The fiber optic communication has advantages such as wide bandwidth, low signal attenuation and reduced noise interference. Wireline Communication : The telephone network which we are using presently is an example of wireline communication. Normally wire pairs or coaxial cables are used for this purpose. The signals in audio, very low and low frequency range are carried on wire pair. The bandwidth of wire pairs is limited upto 300 kHz. The coaxial cables give comparatively larger bandwidth ie. upto 14Hz. The cable television which we see today is on the coaxial cable only, and they use TV channels in the UHF and VHF range.

Propagation modes and transmission mediaCommunication Systems - | 9 Introduction Wireless communication : As the name indicates, there is no wire or any such medium for conduction of electromagnetic waves. Wireless communication takes place through air or vacuum. The frequencies right from 10 kHz upto 100 GHz are transmitted using wireless communication. Electromagnetic waves can be transmitted either by ground wave propagation, sky wave propagation or line of sight propagation depending upon the frequency. Fig. 1.3.2 shows different frequency. ranges and their modes of propagation. All the radio, TV and satellite broadcasting is wireless communication. In wireless communication, the electromagnetic waves are transmitted and received with the help of radiators or antennas. The size of such radiations or antennas depend upon the frequency being transmitted/received. Normally for efficient radiation of the electromagnetic energy, the length of the antenna must be at least \ of the wavelength of frequency being transmitted. For example consider the case of AM radio station transmitting IMHz frequency. The wavelength of this frequency is, velocity of light (c) le Le wavelength ay _ 3x08 1 «10° = 300m Length of the transmitting antenna = a sen = 30 m at least. The size of the antenna will reduce if the frequency of transmission is increased. Because of this reason, wireless communication is not used for low frequencies. The advantages of wireless communications are cost effectiveness, possible long distance communication and simplicity. But the drawbacks are noise interference, environmental effects and attenuation of the signal. Wireline communication and wireless communication can both be used for some frequency range. The choice is made upon the required distance and coverage area. 1.4 Analog Communication With the introductory discussion of basic communication systems in previous sections, we will now tum towards the classification of analog and digital communication. In case of analog communication, the message signal to be transmitted is analog. This analog message can be obtained from sources such as speech, video shooting etc. The analog signal varies smoothly and continuously with time. The message signal is then modulated on some carrier frequency by the modulator. The amplifier then gives this signal to the transmitting antenna. Fig, 1.4.1 shows the basic, block diagram of analog communication system.Communication Systems - 10 Introduction Transmitter Modulator Carrier Noise Receiver Demodulator} Analog message Destination signal Fig. 1.4.1 Basic analog communication system Presently all the AM, FM radio transmission and TV transmission is analog communication. The analog communication needs lower bandwidth compared to digital communication as we will see. But the effect of noise interference is more in case of analog communication. 4.5 Digital Communication Fig, 1.5.1 shows the basic elements of a digital communication system. The source and the destination are the two physically separate points. When the signal travels in the communication channel, noise interferes with it. Because of this-interference, the smeared or disturbed version of the input signal is received at the receiver. Therefore the signal received may not be correct. That is errors are introduced in the received signal. Thus the effects of disturbance and noise due to the communication channel limit the rate at which signal can be transmitted, The probability of error in the received signal and transmission rate are normally used as performance measures of the digital communication system. infrtion source Channel source encoder encoder Noise ‘Source ‘Channel pon Demodulator Fig. 1.5.1 Basic digital communication system The information source generates the message signal to be transmitted. In case of analog communication, the information source is analog. In case of digital communication, the information source produces a message signal which is not continuously varying with time. Rather the message signal is intermittent with respect to time. The examples of discrete information sources are data from computers,Communication Systems - | 1 Introduction teletype etc. Even the message containing text is also discrete. The analog signal can be transmitted to discrete signal by sampling and quantization. In sampling, the analog signal is chopped off at regular time intervals. Those chopped samples form a discrete signal. The discrete information sources have following important parameters : a) Source alphabet : These are the letters, digits or special characters available from the information source. b) Symbol rate : It is the rate at which the information source generates source alphabets. It is normally represented in symbols/sec unit. c) Source alphabet probabilities : Each source alphabet from the source has independent occurance rate in the sequence. For example,letters A, E, I etc. occur frequently in the sequence. Thus probability of the occurrence of each source alphabet can become one of the important property which is useful in digital communication. d) Probabilistic dependence of symbols in a sequence : The information carrying capacity of each source alphabet is different in a particular sequence. This parameter defines average information content of the symbols. The entropy of a source, refers to the average information content per symbol in long messages. Entropy is defined in terms of bits per symbol. Bit is the abbreviation for binary digit. The source information rate is thus the product of symbol rate and source entropy. i.e. Information rate = Symbol rate x Source entropy (Bits/sec) (Symbols/sec) (Bits /symbol) The information rate represents minimum average data rate required to transmit information from source to the destination. 1.5.1 Source Encoder and Decoder The symbols produced by the information source are given to the source encoder. These symbols cannot be transmitted directly. They are first converted in to digital form (i.e. Binary sequence of 1’s and 0's) by the source encoder. Every binary ‘1’ or ‘0’ is called a bit. The group. of bits is called a codeword. The source encoder assigns codewords to the symbols. For every distinct symibol there is unique codeword. The codeword can be of 4, 8, 16 or 32 bits length. As the number of bits are increased in each codeword. The symbols that can be represented are increased. For example, 8 bits will have 28 = 256 distinct codewords. Therefore 8 bits can be used to represent 256 symbols. 16 bits can represent 2!6 = 65536 symbols and so on. In both of the above examples the bits in every codeword are same throughout. That is 8 in first case and 16 in next case respectively. This is called fixed length coding. Fixed length coding is efficient only if all the symbols occur with equal probabilities in a statistically independent sequence. In the practical situations, the symbols in the sequence are statistically dependent and they have unequal probabilities of occurance. For example, let us assume that the symbol sequence represents the percentage marks of the students. The 02%, 08%, 20%, 98%, 99% ete symbols will have minimum probability of occurrence. But 60%, 55%, 70%, 75% will have more probability. For such symbols normally variable length codewords are assigned. More bits (MoreCommunication Systems - | 12 Introduction length) are assigned to frequently occuring symbols and less bits are assigned to rarely occuring symbols. Typical source encoders are pulse code modulators, Delta modulators, vector quantizers etc. We will come across these codewords in detail in the subsequent chapters. Source encoders have following important parameters. a) Block size : This gives the maximum number of distinct codewords that can be represented by the source encoder. It depends upon number of bits in the codeword. For example, the block size of 8 bits source encoder will be 2°=256 codewords. b) Codeword length: This is the number of bits used to represent each codeword. For example, if 8 bits are assigned to every codeword, then codeword length is 8 bits. c) Average data rate : It is the output bits per second from the source encoder. The source encoder assigns multiple number of bits to every input symbol. Therefore the data rate is normally higher than the symbol rate. For example Let us consider that then symbols are given to the source encoder and the length of codeword is 8 bits. Then the output data rate from the source encoder will be, Data rate = Symbol rate x Codeword length = 10 x8 = 80 bits/sec Information rate is the minimum number of bits per second needed to convey information from source to destination as stated earlier. Therefore optimum data rate is equal to information rate. But because of practical limitations, designing such source encoder is difficult. Hence average data rate is higher than information rate and hence symbol rate also. d) Efficiency of the encoder : This is the ratio of minimum source information rate to the actual output data rate of the source encoder. At the receiver, some decoder is used to perform the reverse operation to that of source encoder: It converts the binary output of the channel decoder into a symbol sequence. Both variable length and fixed length decoders are possible. Some decoders use memory to store codewords. The decoders and encoders can be synchronous\or asynchronous. 1.5.2 Channel Encoder and Decoder At this stage we know that the message or information signal is converted in the form of binary sequence (i.e. 1’s and 0's). The communication channel adds noise and interference to the signal being transmitted Therefore errors are introduced in the binary sequence received at the receiver. Hence errors are also introduced in the symbols generated from these binary codewords. To avoid these errors, channel coding is done. The channel encoder adds some redundant binary bits to the input sequence. These redundant bits are added with some properly defined logic. For example consider that the codeword from the source encoder is of 3-bits in length and the channel encoder adds one bit to the codeword to make it 4-bit long. This 4! bit is added (either 1 or 0) such that numberaa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book.Communication Systems - | 4 Introduction 1.5.3 Digital Modulators and Demodulators In the previous sections we studied why modulators and demodulators are required. Whenever the modulating signal is discrete (ie. binary codewords), then digital modulation techniques are used. The carrier signal used by digital modulators is always continuous sinusoidal wave of high frequency. The digital modulator maps the input binary sequence of 1’s and 0's to analog signal waveforms. If one bit at a time is transmitted, then digital modulator signal is s,(t) to transmit binary *0’ and 2s( to teanemix binary °Y', For exariple consider the output of digital modulator shown in Fig, 1.5. soit) s2(l) S(t) Sol) s(t) S(t) Fig. 1.5.2 Frequency modulated output of a digital modulator The signal s)() has low frequency compared to signal s(t). It is frequency modulation (FM) in two steps corresponding to binary symbols °0’ and *1’. Thus even though the modulated signal appears to be continuous, the modulation is discrete (or in steps). Single carrier is converted into two waveforms s,(f) and s(t) because of digital modulation. If the codeword contains two bits and they are to be transmitted at a time, then there will be M =2? =4 distinct symbols (or codewords). These four codewords will require four distinct waveforms for transmission. Such modulators are called M-ary modulators. Frequency shift keying (FSK), phase shift keying (PSK), Amplitude shift keying (ASK), Differential phase shift keying (DPSK), Minimum shift keying (MSK) are the examples of various digital modulators. Since these modulators use continuous carrier wave, they are also called digital CW modulators. In the receiver, the digital demodulator converts the input modulated signal to the sequence of binary bits. The most important parameter for the demodulator is the method of demodulation. The other parameters for the selection of digital modulation method are, a) Probability of symbol or bit error. b) Bandwidth needed to transmit the signal -c) Synchronous or asynchronous method of detection and d) Complexity of implementation.Communication Systems - | 15 Introduction 1.5.4 Communication Channel ‘As we have seen in the preceding sections, the connection between transmitter and receiver is established through communication channel, We have seen that the communication can take place through wirelines, wireless or fibre optic channels. The other media such as optical disks, magnetic tapes and disks etc. can also be called as communication channel, because they can also carry data through them. Every communication channel has got some problems. Following are the common problems associated with the channels : a) Additive noise interference : This noise is generated due to internal solid state devices and resistors etc. used to implement the communication system. b) Signal attenuation : It occurs due to internal resistance of the channel and fading of the signal. ©) Amplitude and phase distortion : The signal is distorted in amplitude and phase because of nonlinear characteristics of the channel. d) Multipath distortion : This distortion occurs mostly in wireless communication channels. Signals comming from different paths tend to interfere with each other. There are two main resources available with the communication channels. These two resources are - a) Channel bandwidth : This is the maximum possible range of frequencies that can be used for transmission. For example, the bandwidth offered by wireline channels is less compared to fibre optic channels. b) Power in the transmitted signal : This is the power that can be put in the signal being transmitted. The effecte of noise can be minimized by increasing the power. But this cannot be increased to very high value because of the equipment and other constraints. For example, the power in the wireline channel is limited because of the cables. The power and bandwidth limit the data rate of the communication channel. As we know, the fiber optic channel transports light signals from one place to another just like a metallic wire carriers an electric signal. There is no current or metallic conductor in optical fiber. The optical fibre has following advantages : a) Very large bandwidths are possible : b) Transmission losses are very small ) Electromagnetic interference is absent d) They have small size and weight e) They offer ruggedness and flexibility £) Optical fibres are low cost and cheap. Satellites essentially perform wireless communication. Mainly satellites are repeaters. Broad area coverage is the main advantage of satellites. The power requirement is also less, since solar energy is used by satellites. Global communicationCommunication Systems - | 16 Introduction is very easily possible due to satellite channels. The interference on satellite channels is present but it is minimum. 1.6 Baseband and Passband Transmission The message signal generated from the information source is also called Baseband Signal. The baseband signal can be a combination of two or more message signals. If the baseband signal is transmitted directly, then it is called baseband transmission. Thus baseband transmission does not use modulators and demodulators. The baseband signal can be both analog as well as digital. The analog baseband signal varies continuously with time and has continuous amplitude. The digital baseband signal is discrete in both time and amplitude. The baseband transmission is preferred at low frequencies and for short distances. Intersymbol Interference (ISI) is the major problem associated with baseband transmission. If modulated signal is transmitted over the channel, it is called bandpass (or passband) transmission. Whenever the modulating signal is impressed upon a carrier, the modulated signal is generated. This modulated signal has fixed band of frequencies around carrier frequency. The nature of such a signal is bandpass type. Hence modulated signals are called passband (or bandpass) signals. For example if kHz modulating signal is impressed upon 100 kHz carrier by using amplitude modulation, then two side bands will be generated. Lower sideband will be at (100 - 1) = 99 kHz and upper sideband will be at (100 + 1) = 101 kHz. Thus the Amplitude modulated signal will have frequencies from 99 to 101 kHz. These frequencies are bandpass type. Hence modulated signals are also passband (or bandpass) type. Bandpass transmission is normally used at high frequencies and for long distances. All television and satellite transmission is passband type. The passband transmission can be both analog and digital. If the digital signal modulates the carrier, then it is called digital passband transmission. We will see baseband and passband (or bandpass) transmission in forth-coming chapters. 1.7 Multiplexing Techniques Multiplexing techniques allow many users to share a common communication channel simultaneously. There are two major types of multiplexing techniques. They are - a) Frequency Division Multiplexing : This technique allots a fixed frequency band to every user in the complete channel bandwidth. Such frequency slot is allotted continuously to that user. For example consider that the channel bandwidth is 1MHz. Let there be ten users, each requiring upto 100kEiz bandwidth. Then the complete channel bandwidth of IMHz can be divided into ten frequency bands; each of 100 kHz and every user can be allotted one independent frequency band. This technique is frequency division multiplexing (FDM). It is mainly used for modulated signals. This is because modulated signal can be placed in any frequency band by just changing the carrierCommunication Systems - | 47 Introduction frequency. At the receiver, these frequency multiplexed signals can be separated by the use of tuned filters (bandpass filters) of their respective frequency band. And for every band, there are independent tuned filters and demodulators. b) Time Division Multiplexing : In case of Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), the complete channel bandwidth is allotted to one user for fixed time slot. For example, if there are ten users, then every user can be given the time slot of one second. thus complete channel can be used by each user for one second time in every ten seconds. This technique is suitable for digital signals. Because digital signals are transmitted intermittently and the time speacing between two successive digital codewords can be utilized by other signals. There is possibility of crosstalk in FDM where as Intersymbol Interference is possible in TDM. These problems can be overcome by some special cares. Exercise What is communication ?

For example modulator, amplifiers, detectors, mixers, various transmission channels are blocks. The signal is entered at one end (input) and depending on the transfer characteristic of the block, the signal is available at the output. Every block is treated as a system and has specific transfer function. Communication theory deals with the mathematical models of these systems and the mathematical representation of the signals being applied. Complete mathematical analysis of communication systems and signals can be performed. Signals are electrical quantities like voltage, current or power varying with time. Using mathematical model of the system, the response of the system can be obtained that vary with time. Here time is an independent variable and electrical quantity is dependent variable. This is also called time domain analysis, If the signal is represented in frequency domain, that is variation of electrical quantity with signal frequency, then output system response is also in frequency domain. The signal frequency is independent variable and electrical quantity is dependent variable. ' ‘The transfer function of the communication system is expressed in frequency domain. When dealing with communication system, frequency domain analysis has specific advantages. Because of frequency domain analysis, spectrum of various electrical signals and their bandwidth are directly obtained. The mathematical tools like fourier transforms give conversion between time and frequency domains. Various important quantities like power spectral densities, energy density functions different error probabilities are obtained in frequency and time domains. The signals and systems represented hence forth are mathematical models. In this chapter we will see how fourier series and fourier transforms are used to represent signals in time and frequency domains. Then it becomes easy to estimate the spectrum of these signals. Some signals appear random when observed in time domain. But when they are converted to frequency domain, then they exhibit specific properties which can be easily studied. In communication systems, analysis and effects of noise is as important as that of wanted signal itself. Frequency domain representation of noise give much more information compared to time domain. In the present day every analysis is getting computerised. Advanced softwares like MATLAB and MathCAD are available. The spectral properties of signals can be studied using these software standard functions such as plot, abs. freqs, psd, angle, erf, erfc, corrcoef and xcorr etc. are available directly to calculate magnitude and phase plots, power spectral density, correlation functions etc. A software program (normally called M file) can be written with the help of MATLAB functions to perform some specific analysis. (18)Communication Systems - 1 19 Signals and Systems 2.1 Signals A function of one or more independent variables which contain some information is called signal. In electrical sense the signal can be voltage or current. The voltage and current is the function of time as an independent variable. In our normal life we come across many electric signals such as radio signal, TV signal, telephone signal, computer signals etc. The signals are classified as follows : (Deterministic and random signals. (i) Continuous and discrete or analog and digital signals. (ii) Periodic and non-periodic signals. (iv) Noise signals. (v) Physically realizable and non-tealizable signals. (vi) Energy and power signals. 2.1.1. Deterministic and Random Signals A deterministic signal is a signal about which there is no uncertainty with respect to its value at any time. A deterministic signal can be completely represented by mathematical equation at any time. For example sine wave, cosine wave, triangular wave, exponential pulse etc. are deterministic signals, since they have unique mathematical equations. ie. x(Q = 100sin 50t represents a deterministic signal at any time. A random signal has some degree of uncertainty before it actually occurs. That means random signal cannot be defined by some mathematical expression. Thus the value of random signal is not predefined or it cannot be calculated from previous values of the signal, Fig. 21.1{a) shows an example of deterministic signal and Fig. 2.1.1(b) shows random signal. x(t) Dote istic signal chee Fig. 2.1.1 (a) : Cosine wave is an example of deterministic signal. It can = be defined by mathematical expression. x(t) = Acos atCommunication Systems - | 20 Signals and Systems x(t) Fig. 2.1.1 (b) : Random signal cannot be mathematically t modelled. Its value is unpredictable at any time Random signal Random signals are broadly called as Noise signals. 2.1.2 Continuous and Discrete or Analog and Digital Signals When the amplitude and time of the signal is continuous, it is called continuous or analog signal. In other words continuous signals have some value at every instant of time. Signals arising from converting a physical parameters such as sound, temperature, light intensity etc. result in continuous signals. For example consider that the temperature is converted into an electric signals. We know that temperature never changes in steps, rather the change is continuous and smooth. Therefore an equivalent electric signal will also be continuous and smooth. When the signal is represented only at discrete instants of time, it is called Discrete signal. For example, if we record the temperature only at one hour intervals, then we get discrete time representation of temperature. Fig. 2.1.2 (a) shows an example of continuous signal and Fig. 2.1.2(b) shows its equivalent discrete time signal. Fig. 2.1.2 (a) : Analog ‘or continuous signal : This signal is continuous in amplitude and time. tt can be represented at any time instant. x(t) ‘Samples take continuous Fig, 2.1.2 (b) : Discrete values of amplitude time signal : This eos signal has values only at fixed time intervals.

When the signal is discrete in both time as well as amplitude, it is called digital signal. This means the amplitudes of digital signals are represented only at some fixed number of values. The time representation is also discrete. Fig. 2.1.3 shows the signal of Fig.2.1.2 (b) converted to discrete amplitude levels. As shown in Fig. 2.13, the complete range of 1 volt is represented into 5 discrete levels. Each sample amplitude is represented by the nearest discrete amplitude level. This process is called quantization. Thus there is sometimes difference in actual sample amplitude and quantized (or digital) sample amplitude. Almost all the digital signals are obtained from analog signals. The analog signal is first sampled at regular intervals. This sampled signal is then quantized to give digital signal. The digital signal is further coded into binary, hex or octal number representation for further processing. This process of obtaining digital signal from analog signal, is called Analog to Digital conversion. The signals handled by computers are all digital. The sample is quantized xq('T) to the nearest voltage level of 1.0 votts| Fig. 2.1.3 : An example of digital signal. The signal is sampled at multiples of ‘T instants, The amplitude is represented in 5 levels. The sample is quantized t to nearest amplitude level. Discrete amplitudes Discrete time instants 2.1.3. Periodic and Non-periodic Signals A signal is said to be periodic, if it repeats after a fixed time period. This can be defined by mathematical expression as, x() = x(t +7) ww (2.1.1) Here T, > 0; is called the period of the signal x(t). Fig. 2.1.4 (a) shows a waveform of sine wave. This waveform can be represented by the following mathematical equation i.e., x(@) = A sin(2nfy ) ww (2.1.2) A Here f, = z = frequency of the signal. 0 The signal x(¢ +T,) will be, x(¢+Tp) = A sin[2nf, ¢ +T,)] =A wna al since fy = foCommunication Systems - | 22 Signals and Systems A sin[2nf, t +2r] = A sin(2nf,f) since sin (8 +2n) = sind by trigonometric relation. " x(t) which is same as equation 2.1.2 A signal is said to be non-periodic, if it does not repeat. Some times non-periodic signals are said to have a period T, equal to infinity.

Before defining these classification, we will first define energy and power concepts. 1, Average value (Time mean or DC value) The average value of the signal x(t) over all the time is defined as,aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book.aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book.Communication Systems - 1 2 Signals and Systems In the above equation, x"(0) is integrated from - 74107 and limit is taken as T -+ ». This makes the upper and lower limits approaching infinity. Thus equation 2.2.11 and equation 2.2.10 have the same meaning. 5. Energy signals The signal x(t) is said to be Energy Signal if and only if the total normalized energy is finite and nonzero (ie. 0 < E < ©). ie, Almost all the practical nonperiodic signals which are defined over finite time (also called time limited) are Energy Signals. 6.

In single sided amplitude spectrum there is only one component at f,, and its amplitude is A. In double sided amplitude spectrum there are two components at f, and - f,, and their amplitudes are 44. Thus the amplitude in double sided spectrum reduces by half but its polarity is unchanged 2. In single sided phase spectrum there is only one component at f, and its phase is . In double sided phase spectrum there is one component at f, with phase $ , and second component at - f, with phase -}. Thus the phase shift remains same in double sided spectrum but their signs are opposite. 3. The amplitude spectrum has even symmetry whereas phase spectrum has odd symmetry in double sided spectrums.

Unsolved Example 1. Calculate the energy of the casual exponential pulse shown in Fig. 2.8.2. [ans.2E = University Questions May - 96 Q.1 State and prove Rayleigh’s energy theorem. : [5 Marks} Ans.: Refer to Sec 2.9. 2.10 Spectral Density Functions The spectral density functions of the periodic or nonperiodic signal x(t) represents the distribution of power or energy in the frequency domain. In other words for a energy or power signal, the total area under the spectral density curve plotted as a function of frequency is equal to total energy or average power of the signal. For the energy and power signals two types of spectral density functions are normally defined, ie. energy spectral density (esd) and power spectral density (psd). Let us now discuss these density functions. 2.10.1 Energy Spectral Density This spectral density function gives the distribution of energy of the signal in the frequency domain. We know that, s ® = flxora= fixer ¢ By equation 2.9.1; Rayleigh’s energy theoremCommunication Systems - | 174 Signals and Systems This equation gives the total energy of the signal from its frequency components energy in frequency domain. In this equation |X(f)| is the amplitude spectrum of the signal. Let us denote the squared amplitude spectrum |X (f)|° of the signal by y (f) ie., w-- (2.10.2) Putting above value in equation 2.10.1, an energy of the signal x (t) is expressed in terms of y (f) as, E= fw (af .. (2.10.3) This equation shows that total energy of the signal is given by total area under the curve y (f). That is y(f) represents the energy density of the signal x (t) in joules per hertz. The function y (f) is therefore called energy spectral density of the signal x(t). The energy w (f) carried by every frequency component ‘f’ is added (integrated) over the complete range of the signal to give its total energy. We know that amplitude spectrum of real valued signal is an even function of f. Therefore energy spectral density (esd) of such signal is symmetrical about the vertical axis at frequency f = 0. 2.10.2 Power Spectral Density This function gives the distribution of power of a signal at various frequencies in frequency domain. From Parseval’s power theorem we know that, BS > C,P ws» (2.10.4) For the periodic power signals C, is given by equation 2.8.95 as, c= me X(nf,) Putting above value of C,, in equation 2.10.4, the total power will be, e Zz xf)? ews (2.10.5) The power spectral density of the periodic signal x (t) can be defined as Power Spectral Densi = (2.10.6) This definition shows that power spectral density of the periodic signal is discrete function of frequency and it is defined at harmonics of fundamental frequency f,. Therefore 6(f—nf,) function appears in above equation. The total area under the power spectral density curve gives average power of the signal x (t). HenceCommunication Systems - | 475 Signals and Systems [sne- fA SX pope syne -« n=- z Using the sifting property of delta function given by equation 2.5.8 we have, fsma-k ¥ ixoge Sy Ty nite =P By equation 2.105.

Sometimes these properties are also called combinely as properties of spectral density functions. 2.10.3.1 Properties of Energy Spectral Density Function 1) The total area under the energy density function gives total energy of that signal. ie.

For’the periodic signals we can represent the fourier transforms of x (t) and y (t) as, x= EL xa) 3y-m) 7 & Y(f) = yi Y (fy) 5 (f - nf) By equation 2.8.96 woo We know that, YU) = HOXP) Squaring both sides, men = RP x~e 7 Map)? 8 fmf.) = IHEP - z az em BF nfo) 0 o By equation 2.10.6, we can write above equation as, 2 5, (f) = IAW) 5, ) 3) The autocorrelation function R(x) and power spectral density function S (6) form a fourier transform pair. ie.

But the difference is that the two signals are different in cross correlation whereas they are same in autocorrelation. If x, (0 and x, () have some similarity, then the cross correlation function Ry, (t) will have some finite value over the Tange of t. If j x, 0x, Odt = 0 ie, wu (212.2) R (0) = 0, 12 then the signals x, (t) and x, (f) are called orthogonal signals. That is the two signals have no cross correlation between them.

We know that the output y (t) of the system is given as, y(t) = i x(t)h(t-1)dt w» (2.13.1) This equation gives time response of the LTI system. The RHS of the above equation represents convolution of input signal x (t) and impulse response h (t). By applying fourier transform to above equation, Fly) = ‘| f scone-oe] We know that convolution of two functions is transformed into multiplication of their fourier transforms. By applying this to above equation, F J sores] = X(f)H(f) Het: H(f) is called transfer function of the system, : Y(f) = H(f) X(f) .. (2.13.2) Thus ar a Linear Time Invariant system fourier transform of the aatpiat is equal to product of the transfer function of the system and fourier transform of the input. The above equation gives frequency response of the system. 2.13.2 Distortionless Transmission Through System A distortion less transmission means output of the system is an exact replica of the input signal. The difference between input and output of such system is that, 1. Amplitude of the output signal may increase or decrease by some factor with respect to input and 2 The output signal may be delayed in time with respect to input signal because of system delay. Therefore output signal y (#) can be written interms of input x (t) as,Communication Systems - | 209 Signals and Systems. y) = Kx@-t)) w» (2.13.3) Here, K = constant represents change in amplitude. &t, = time delay in transmission of signal through a system. By taking fourier transform of both sides of above equation YQ) = Fly] = F {Kx@-t)} . From the time shifting property of FT, eo itAtto YQ) = KX(f) w» (2.134) Transfer function H (0) is given from equation 2.13.2 Ye Hf) = Xf) Putting for RHS from equation 2.13.4 in above equation, Hy) = ke .. (2135) This equation gives the transfer function for a distortionless system. It is clear from above equation that, the magnitude of the transfer function is.’K’, which is independent of frequency. That is the transfer function has constant amplitude;at all : frequencies. The phase shift of above equation is, : of) = ca vs pp RI9895 -2nty) f ‘That is the phase shift is sont proportional to frequency. Here the phase shift is linear at all frequencies. This can be expressed with the example A Let there be a signal in time domain as x( = cos (Qn ft) Now let the output signal be same in amplitude but shifted in time by t, seconds. y= cos [2nf(t-to)l os (2.43.7) This equation can also be written as, y() = cos (Qn ft-2 nf ty) = cos (2nft—0(F)] Thus phase shift of y (t) is, O(f) = -2nft, which is proportional to frequency *f'aa You have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book.Communication Systems - | Signals and Systems Fig. 2.13.2 (a) Magnitude response of ideal low-pass filter (0) Phase response of ideal low-pass fliter pert eit ay h® = “3B - j el2Mt—0) ap ae - 1 [alee j2n-t) a - 1 [erro _ osteo j2n(t-ty) a eltett tod _ gc i2Bt—) a) 27 = —1__ sin (25B(t-1,)] n(t-fy) 0 = op ( Sle nBt-to)l 2nB(t-to) = 2Bsinc [2B(t-t,)] w» (2:13:10) By definition of sinc functiort. The above equation gives impulse response of an ideal lowpass filter.Communication Systems - | 212 Signals and Systems Fig. 2.13.3 shows the impulse response h (t) of above equation of ideal low-pass filter. Fig. 2.13.3 Impulse response of ideal low-pass filter The above figure shows that impulse response exists for negative values of ‘’. But actually unit impulse is applied at t = 0 always. Thus the response appears before the unit impulse is applied. Practically it is impossible to implement such a system. In section 2.4.3 also we have stated in equation 2.4.7 that h (t) = 0 for t < 0 for causal system. Therefore it is clear that although ideal low pass filter is very desirable it cannot be physically realizable. Practically unit impulse to the filter is applied at t = 0 [ie. 3()=1 applied at t = 0], then impulse response of the filter should start at the most at > 0, and not at t < 0, ie. negative values of ’t’.
