  1. Transmission media Transmission media are located below the physical layer

    Computers use signals to represent signals to represent data. Signals are ransmitted in form of electromagnetic energy.

    Twisted Twisted- -Pair Cable Pair Cable Coaxial Cable Coaxial Cable Fiber Fiber- -Optic Cable Optic Cable Unguided Media (Wireless) Unguided Media (Wireless) Unguided Media (Wireless) Unguided Media (Wireless) Radio Waves Radio Waves Microwaves Microwaves Infrared Infrared
  3. GUIDED MEDIA GUIDED MEDIA Guided Guided media, media, which which

    are are those those that that provide provide a a conduit conduit from from one one device device to to another, another, include include twisted twisted- -pair pair cable, cable, coaxial coaxial cable, cable, and and fiber fiber- -optic optic cable cable. .
  4. Overview Overview Guided Guided - - wire / optical fibre

    wire / optical fibre Unguided Unguided - - wireless wireless Characteristics and quality determined by Characteristics and quality determined by medium and signal medium and signal medium and signal medium and signal in unguided media in unguided media - - bandwidth produced by bandwidth produced by the antenna is more important the antenna is more important in guided media in guided media - - medium is more important medium is more important Key concerns are data rate and distance Key concerns are data rate and distance
  5. Data Rate and Bandwidth Any transmission system has a limited

    band of frequencies This limits the data rate that can be carried carried
  6. Design Factors Design Factors Bandwidth Bandwidth higher bandwidth gives higher

    data rate higher bandwidth gives higher data rate Transmission impairments Transmission impairments eg. attenuation eg. attenuation eg. attenuation eg. attenuation Interference Interference Number of receivers in guided media Number of receivers in guided media more receivers introduces more attenuation more receivers introduces more attenuation
  7. Guided Media Guided Media – – Twisted Twisted- -pair Cable

    pair Cable Twisted Twisted- -pair cable pair cable
  8. Twisted pair One of the wires carries signal, the other

    is used only as a ground reference. The receiver uses the difference b/w the two levels. Twisting increases the probability that both wires are probability that both wires are effected by the noise in the same manner, thus the difference at the receiver remains same. Therefore, number of twists per unit length determines the quality of the cable.
  9. Twisted Pair Twisted Pair - - Transmission Transmission Characteristics Characteristics
