Modern Digital Communications Lecturer ：Qian Zhihong Chapter 1 General 1.1.1 History landmark 1.1 Overview Description 1.1.2 Spectrum Allocations 1.1.3 Why Digital Communication Immunity to distortion and interference, easy for repeaters along the transmission path to regenerate a new, clean (noise free) signal, to prevent accumulation of noise along the path Encryption and privacy techniques are easier to implement Easier and more efficient to multiplex several digital signals. Digital multiplexing techniques – Time Code Division Multiple Access - are easier to implement than analog techniques such as Frequency Division Multiple Access Digital hardware implementation is flexible and permits the use of microprocessors, mini- processors, digital switching and VLSI, and the use of LSI and VLSI in the design of components and systems have resulted in lower cost Can combine different signal types – data, voice, text, etc. The two types of communication, like data and voice, are difficult to combine over the same medium in the analog domain. Using digital techniques, it is possible to combine both format for transmission through a common medium March 24, 2011 lecture #2, Chapter 1 General Description of Digital Communication Systems 2/13 Chapter 1 General 1.1.1 History landmark Description 1.1 Overview 1.1.2 Spectrum Allocations 1.1.3 Why Digital Comm Down sides: Requires reliable “synchronization” Requires larger bandwidth Probability of er
